Faults:

There is a clicking noise from the front axle when turning or accelerating hard. I am currently getting the CV arms replaced and this should rectify the problem.

Key can be pulled from the ignition when it is running.

General Comments:

This car is very reliable as it starts very well, does not get hot, and runs beautifully, even after 24 years of faithful service to its loyal owners.

It is excellent in wet weather use, as it has 4WD and is very light.

It is surprisingly comfortable and is suited to australian conditions. I need to be careful off the beaten track to not bottom it out, but elsewhere it's fine.

It is a fantastic beach bus, as it is nimble, reliable, comfy, and can be slept in as the rear seat folds down.

I recently had a carburettor treatment put through, and now it does 160km/h, which is excellent considering its age and the fact it only had 55kw of power when new.

Faults:

When I got the car it was a farm car, so it was dirty inside and out.

Car needed a CV joint and a new clutch cable, sparkys and oil change, and the oil dipper. Recently the steering rack went, But they don't usually go I was told. The driver's side seat was ripped and little ones on the rest, so I got seat covers and that fixed the problem.

I had problems with the points, but that was fixed.

General Comments:

This car is a tank. It just keeps going and going and going. It pulls a trailer that is 1 tonne and pulls with no problem.

This car is old, but there's no rust at all and it nearly runs like new, and has done 330,000km and is still running like new

This car is a little beast. I have reved it really high sometimes to get the trailer up the hill, but it never overheats, but sometimes when just trying to get a car park when the car is warm it heats up, but I don't know if that's normal or not?

This car is unstoppable and if you find one in good nick, buy it. It's cheap on petrol and great on rego, and I tell ya, the 4wd mode works well, but it's an old car, but a great car indeed.

My head gasket blew at 174000 km.

General Comments:

My friend has a car just like mine and he swears by it and from what I have seen of his car it was great. We do a lot of camping etc. I decided to buy one and on the first day of having the car I blew the head gasket which cost me $1,200 to fix. The car is great in comfort and all, but this problem really made me upset and makes me think twice about that make. I will just have to see what the car is like when I get it back from the mechanic.
