Hi Everyone,
I have been watching for a while, as I have been considering what sort of vehicle I wanted to build for Overlanding. Been looking at 80 and 90 series, but really want a manual as I am just not a fan of autos.
I have been on the look out for a diesel manual of either model for a while. Been looking at 1998 manual diesel 90 series with 123k today. I have checked all the usual stuff to look out for and overall it seems in pretty good nick. My only worry is that at idle - both hot and cold - there is quite a lot of vibration. The idle isn't lumpy and as soon as you give it a few revs it is smooth. Is the vibration at idle something to worry about or is it just idling to slowly? It is idling at about 700-800 revs.
Thanks for any advice in advance!
Craig
