New bus required

[Rock Trol]

Is that for reading error codes ?

It does that (error codes - read and clear) but much more as well. It displays info that the ECU uses such as boost, water temp, alternator output, fuel usage, power output, engine revs. You can view any 4 at one time. I also works as a trip computer if you want to calibrate it.

Best $200 I spent on the car.

Thanks all great info

The hunt is on... Quite a variety out there.
How do the 3L ' s go for 'driveable power' ? I'll be towing a smallish camper trailer when on my trips..

Dare I say it, but there are some other makes out there that I'm considering too...
Petrol Vs Diesel too.
Do I really need to spend more $ at the bowser and more $ on servicing ?

Cheer

This is my 3L with camping, not camper trailer and roof rack. Inside is seats down and full of gear. I average about 13.1 l/100k. These photos on the way to Esperance.

Ok so tommorow is decision day. New wheels or fix up mine.

If anyone is interested in a fixer - upperer please PM me.
Its got some front end damage.. all cosmetic. Shell is pretty good- no major rust. Driveline good- rebuilt the auto about 15k ago. Strong EFI motor. Velour interior in excellent condition. Door trims a bit worse for wear. . Mickey thompson ATZ's about 2 yo with no more than 10k on them.

Gimme a yell if you're interested and I can flick some photos through.

Cheers all.
Simon.

Bummer

I would be interested in the cluster surround if you part it out also possible the mirrors if there electric and dependent on how much it would cost to post to Sydney

there ya go todd go over take a hammer with you and drive it home if your quick I could get you a train ticket over there for the end of june.

I think you'll find plenty of power for towing smaller camper trailer and vans.
Especially after 100kph there is still power to overtake,,, well my Di does .
$20k will see you in a well set up GU with the 4.2 TD like Billy just brought
A 4.8 petrol Will have power to burn, but thirsty.

BEWARE the flood damaged patrols to,,, if it seem to good to be true it probaly is

[Lambroast]

Ok... Think I've found a good 08 ST. Body good. Interior good.
Anything I need to beware of or check out mechanically ?
Going for a test drive tommorow.

Cheers all.

Simon.

Thanks guys. Graeme yours looks the goods, but a little too many $ than I want to spend..

The one I looked at was not too bad. Exterior and mechanicals ok, interior a little bit sad, but overall a nice bus. Drove well.
Long story short... Dealers.... hmm.....Some you just can't trust....

Still got the GQ... Still in 2 minds what to do with it..

Simon..
