Hi Folks. I recently bought a 2006 100 series with 250k miles on it. Its in pretty good condition. The service book shows approximately 2 services a year from 2006 to 2018. The book is then full, and the new one unfortunately lost. One owner from 2006 - 2023, so I assume he kept up the excellent...

Thanks. Its 2006 so I suspect any warranties are long gone? Cheers.

Morning Folks. I have just bought a 2006 100 series. It seems in good condition, including engine [250k], bodywork and chassis. It has a good and thorough service history. However it has the dreaded rusty upper tailgate - on the underside where the lights / reversing camera are. Any advice /...

Thanks for this. Its a local specialist I was planning on using - and they will do as much or as little as is needed. I will then get it MOTd and put it on the market. A friend has Myreton Motor Museum in East Lothian. The truck will be on display in there while the engine is sorted - and then...

That's a fair point for sure. Im putting a lot of money into it, and will need a good return. I figure with a re built engine and mot it could be worth a decent amount to the right person. It was never my intention to sell it - but as the costs have gone up that's changed unfortunately!

Well the compression tests were very poor and half of what they should have been, or worse. Im really no mechanic, so I struggle with some of the terminology. I am now thinking after the engine re build and new mot I will have to sell it unfortunately. There can't be many in the uk like it, if...

Hi Iwan - A quick update. I had a call from the garage yesterday. They have carried out a load of compression and other tests - and unfortunately its an engine rebuild. Not great and the cost worries me. However, when its done it should be a pretty valuable vehicle. There won't be many in the uk...

Thanks for taking the time Iwan, This is really helpful. I will take my laptop to the garage and show them the pic and your comments. I will let you know how things go. Cheers Adrian

Thanks Iwan - that would be really helpful. Cheers Adrian

Thanks Yogi - Its in way too good condition not to have this sorted one way or the other.

Hi Iwan - I believe its a 2h. Thanks, I will mention this to the garage. They are going to fit the fuel pump and refurbished injectors back in hopefully this week. Praying for less smoke!

Hey Brett The injectors have been refurbished, and the garage are hoping to put it all back together this week. Fingers crossed! Cheers Adrian

Hi Brett No it was imported by the original owner. I have a load of paperwork. He had it on the road for a couple of years [reg HJZ9060 you can see its short UK mot history]. It was then bought by a heavy truck mechanic who did various upgrades which are great. However, he also did an engine...

Thanks Ben - I think I'm going to need some luck!

Hey Folks - just joined the group. Im based near Edinburgh in Scotland. Two months ago I bought a 1987 HJ60. It was imported from Honduras [LHD] and is in incredible condition, with virtually no rust. However, I bought it without a mot, and was assured it just needed a few electrics sorting...
