Hi All,
I've just bought a seriously cool low mileage 95 70 series with the KZT 3ltr engine. Its a very tidy example with 70k.
I had to sell my 98 4.2 tdi amazon recently which I was very attached to. Some of the guys helped me fix a diff fault (thanks to all).. Amazing collection of knowledge!
The new truck is so cool! I prefer it hands down... What a piece of kit and the throaty military sounding turbo is cool too! Loads of power. Interior velour is a little trans pennine express but immaculate.
What a find!!! I will post some photos shortly.
It does have a few bits to fix.
The main one is the offside front calliper is seized open and I feel the discs are looking very discoloured. From what I can see from the service book and mots it has sat for 1-2 years as it only amassed 57 miles so this might be why the calliper is not working?
The oil pressure sits just below 1/2 say 4 o-clock and travels up to 2.30 at 2.5-3k revs, hopefully a good oil change and filter might help. I doesn't seem to go above the symbol next to the scale, I'm told this is average?
I also experienced the oil level light coming on when the level was down say 150ml-ish on a downward slope, how sensitive...?
Roof liner needs taking down and tightening as it resembles a tent.
Cam belt was done at 41k and adjusted at 62. I'm going o take the cover off the creak for wear or should I just change it? It looks quite simple and not too expensive for the tensioner and kit.!
Other than that is fully operational and every thing works, and lights up.
I plan to get it wax oiled next month as the underside is immaculate... I'm still in shock! A full rear tank guard too! The only rust is the front steering arm and the exhaust in the wheel arch!
Does anyone have an electronic copy of the FSM?
Many thanks.
