Thanks Paul. Replied to your e-mail now with more details about the car.

After emailing TeaMonsta ive decidied that for various reasons (none being his or the trucks fault) that his is not for me

Think I need to broaden my horizons and dare to ask the question - do the autoboxes ever go wrong / common faults ?

[Surfer Ross]

The Autos are generally as reliable or more reliable than the manual cars plus there's a ready supply of spares if they go wrong. We have plenty of them knocking around in 40 degree heat all day long and the Autos are far more durable than the manuals, no clutch replacements to worry about either. They get a very hard time out here too.

That said, TeaMonsta, I'd be happy to take yours off your hands if the price is right. I'm in no rush as I don't finish in Afghanistan until next year.

[Paulpen]

Ill chuck an auto want into the mix too then

[TeaMonsta]

Best to, I reckon, Paul. Surf's are getting pretty thin on the ground it seems. and, as Ross points out, as there are plenty of autos about, you'll never be short of parts or advice. The reason I got a manual was because it happened to be manual. I would've still bought it if it had been an auto.

Yea think ive narrowed my field down too much from the start really !

Currently keeping an open mind on anything aslong as its a Toyota 4wd

Still Interested in selling?

I hope I'm not wasting your time but I've just bought a 3.0L, gen 3, 5 speed manual and wondered why you'd like a manual and not an automatic? Are they more desirable or is it just your personal preference?

By the way, I might consider selling it to you if:

1 - The price is right (obviously)
2 - You don't mind waiting for me to find a replacement (could be a while!)

Hi
Are you still interested in selling your surf?

I can't sell it now that we're into winter but I'll keep you in mind if I'm looking to change it next year. That'll only be if I can find one in at least the same condition, though. Thanks for your your interest, keep you posted
