  • Just got a Surf.

    Picked up my Surf today.

    Well, the girlfriends Surf.

    It's a 1995 3.0 SSRX Ltd.
    Low mileage, possibly . Imported in 2000.
    T&T

    Drives nice, in general good condition for not much money at all.
    No oil leaks, good temperature, no clunks or rattles, everything works.

    I got a nice warm feeling when I was looking underneath as it's had a new rear drop link and every linkage (including steering arms) andthe UJs were nicely greased

    It's great apart from a couple of little annoying things that need sorting:

    1. Stupid boost adjuster and boost gauge which need removing ASAP.
    2.Turbo whistle, very likely due to the shite listed at number 1.
    3. Trim strip on the outside of the passenger door (anyone got one?).
    4. It looks a little low on the rear (only slightly). I have my eyes on a pair of heavy duties.

    Here's a pic.


    Thank you all for the advice you've proffered so far. I've subscribed too so I can ask for advice without feeling guilty now.

        Oh yeah, one more thing. Is there a way to raise the drivers seat height?

                  We had one of those on the Disovery. I didn't know you could get them for Surfs.

                    you could fit spacers under the seats where they fix to the floor to raise it up a bit

                      Thank you all. I'm going to need a load of advice when I remove this shitty boost controller. There's so many pipes.

                            The other way of doing it if you can weld is to get some 1/2" box section and cut the seat chasis off and weld the box section to the seat and then the chasis to the box section.I have a set of bucket seats in Lucifer done like this so that the bolt holes still line up
