Hi All,

I am considering purchasing an auto (5 speed) 2003 turbo diesel 100 series cruiser. It's at a great price but has not had a great service history, with 2/3 or so of the services being missed and the rest pretty intermittent. It has 105K on the clock. I've taken it for a test drive and while it drives pretty well, I could not engage the 4wd lever. I've owned cruisers before and know how much force should need to be applied, and this thing just wouldn't budge. The centre and factory rear lock seemed to engage OK, in that I could hear the "click" as well as the dash light coming on. I'm thinking about organizing an RACQ inspection on Tuesday morning, but am keen to hear your thoughts on:

- purchasing a turbo diesel 100 series with bad service record (105K)
- what the problem with not being able to engage the 4wd low lever could be.

Many thanks,
Mick.
