Need a favour from someone around Rosedale area

[Winnie]

Yeah. And I kinda know cars too.

Yep yep, perfect people to look at a car for you kallen. Racv check is not worth the money.

Hopefully Steve doesn't buy it first...LOL

Too new for Steve! He doesn't like anything newer than 1985!

I'm wondering if the raa will do an interstate inspection threw the racv?

Doesn’t look like you’ll need that ........ thank goodness. Had an RACV check done on mine pre-purchase, paid for by the place I bought it from, but it wasn’t worth the paper it was written on. Told me nothing of value, although stated the gearbox probably had a major problem. I paid a transmission specialist/4wd workshop to do a second inspection. They told me the box was fine (it was the usual TD42 low rev transmission growl) & found a few other minor issues, including a leaking sub tank, which the seller rectified at a cost of around $2k. (Best $200 I’ve ever invested in a car).
I would never have confidence in an RACV pre-purchase check again, at least not for a 4wd. There are better options ....... & of course if you can get an experienced Patrol tinkerer/enthusiast to check for you - it doesn’t come any better than that.

Unless things have changed recently, a Vic RWC and reg is no good to you anyway. You'll have to rereg it in SA. So there's a saving of $500 if u get it without reg ? Send me a txt with what u want to do.

So....... whats happening to the family GQ ,
going into the KW Hall of Fame lol
Gotta a lot of memories in that "Q" eh

[Rossco]

Nice one Kallen. Yeah have to agree with others about RACV check. Got one years ago on a 40s picked up heaps of obvious stuff you could see yourself and not things like knackered swivel hubs. Waste of money with my experience anyway, guess a lot of them don't really know fourbies, bit of a gamble maybe with who you get.
Anyway best of luck with the new truck, prefect having Kat & Steve to look @ it. . . Poor old GQ. . . .☺

Just make sure it doesnt have the dreaded coolant leak like Hodge had.
IMO the IC will be leaking and need replacing straight off the bat.
Is it a private sale or yard???

[Bloodyaussie]

What is it..? A 3lt or a 4.2.

Is there a link or is it hush hush.

[BigRAWesty]

Ok so we have a couple of irons in the fire. Winnie I may have one near you too lol
This second one is car yard so feel more confident in it although it's stock
