I think the scrap yard will give me a few hundred, but I would rather see it go to someone who wants her. Some things need help, other things are in great shape. I love the vehicle though I didn't have the scratch and/or time to repair everything. We are moving to England and won’t be taking it with us.

The Good:

Doesn’t leak fuel. I replaced all the o-rings, injector seals and injector return lines with Viton.

Belt, tensioner and fan recently replaced.

Glow plugs replaced last year.

Changed oil twice a year with synth since I’ve owned it.

Changed transmission fluid twice since I’ve owned it.

Suspension system has been maintained.
Did shocks, a couple years ago.
Both ball joints replaced.
Wheels are aligned, and Roadforce balanced.
Feels great on the road.

Passenger seats are in good shape.

The bad:

A/C just quit a couple weeks ago. I think the compressor seized. It’s making some noise now, so I would advise replacement whether you want to bring back the a/c or not. Fuse blows if you turn it on.

Has trouble shutting down in cold weather. Not sure what that's about. The shut off valve is good, kills the engine and holds vacuum.

Has some rust spots.

Sunroof doesn’t work.

No central locking, I think the internal vacuum pump is dead.

Antenna doesn’t work. I hear the motor, but it doesn’t go up and down.

Driver seat is worn.

Paint is not in great shape.

Headrests don’t go down. I can make them go down by applying vacuum to a hose under the rear seat, but I think the valve that controls it went bad, I heard it buzzing before it quit.


I’ll post more as I think of it. Feel free to ask questions.


Will post pics next.
