I went to see the truck yesterday.
Its a black 1996 Gen 2 3.0 manual. SSR-X
It looks OK - not the cleanest example but everything works (ac, windows, mirrors) the motor sounds lovely with no smoke and the cooling system/head looks healthy (no overflow, rad full to the top with Ok coolant).
All belts and fluids were changed 12000 whatevers ago, tyres are good
But a few questions....
1. it has mph on the speedo, but I ask is the milometer in km's or miles on these?
2. The heater air direction will not send air up to the windscreen does anyone know if it's the servo on the fan body or the matrix which is the guilty party or both?

3. The tailgate window doesn't work from the dash switch so time to check the wires by the rear bumper.
4. The drivers seat is too soft but as I am in France I will look for a front passenger seat from a 4 runner and swap the foam if the covering isn't the same. If it's the seperate type.

5. I'll have to fit some LHD headlamps again from a 4 runner.
6. Once I've checked it all out more thoroughly I'll do a full service/grease up with a big coolant flush, new rad cap, thermostat and nice Toyota coolant.
7. It has a very slight left right movement/wobble on the steering wheel, possibly a bent wheel but I'll investigate more later.
