Hi folks,
I'm just about to be the proud owner of said vehicle.
Just a few questions after chatting to the vendor.
He says you need to drain the gearbox oil every three months
or so ? and refill ? something about build up in the transmission?
He says that it could do with the head gasket changing, expensive?
He says that the syncro is a bit off changing down from 4th to 3rd...
grearbox rebuild looming?
Also to keep a bottle of clutch and brake fluid with you as it needs
topping up.
and... the main petrol tank is removed, thus there is only the 'little'
one under the seat, worth investing in a large one?
Other than that, what tips do you have for me to look into, I've got
a mechanic i'm going to take it too once I have it, but anything
I should look out for specifically?
Just to recap, its a ex army SIII 109 2.4L petrol 1979.
Thanks in advance. Can't wait to get it!
