Didn't want to jump in on the last thread so will ask new. I am looking at an AU ute from local dealer. 7k with 139ks on the clock, couple of questions, it's 7/99 build, what series does that make it, is there anything specific to look out for (sales bloke tells me all AU and even BA had problems with power steering pumps leaking into alternator)?
Has log book which shows it was serviced up to 140k, done at 134k, however that was 3/3/08 (2 years ago) and appears to have only travelled 5k in that 2 years. Are there easy enough ways to wind back or suspend speedos to reflect this ? just seems like a bell going off that its only travelled 5k in last 2 years. Other than that ,it seems to drive ok, the clutch seems to have minimal travel but there is no slip or obvious roughness in it,(any specific probs with 5 speed?), and there are a few knocks and rattles that I would expect from a 10 year old car Any help would be much appreciated.
