L300 manual and advice

Sorry to take so long to get back to you Eric my confuser was playing up. I am having problems with the linkages. The one part I did not take apart myself was the linkage assembly. I now have all the rod linkages but am stumped with the cable set up. I dont even know if it is part of the gear change. The vehicle is not going yet as I am having fun with heaps of small stuff from previous owners) I have an 84 model and would like a manual (you know what they say if you have one you wont need it)Are the basics (brakes, gear box, suspension etc) the same for an 84 as an 87 starwagon as that seems to be the only manual I can track down

Eric the problem is solved. The previous owner must have had a problem with the linkage assembly sticking so he added a cable with a spring to balance it. That is instead of simply rectifying the problem. (A worn bush)i hope you can appreciate the problems I am having as there are many strange modifications I dont know what is real aand what is made up as he has done it all very neatly but most often ignoring the disease by treating the symptons.
