Hi all,
I'm interested in the vehicle above. It has 50K on the clock.
A inspection highlights"2nd gear tends to baulk/not in 4wd" What is your consensus on this models short and long term engine and drive train life ?
I have read different things on the
forum. I'll do mostly road with the odd foray into low to medium 4wd. Also tow a camper or boat.
Is this model prone to failures and/or major repairs ??
Regards,
Tim

Change the gear oil to Castrol VMX-M 75/85 and that baulking will be fixed.
They are a
well sorted vehicle, with no major issues.
