Checked my leafs last night... the left has a ser# CS008 FB and the right is CS008 FA. Both leafs have 5 blades each; same as Torro's setup...very weird indeed :wth: IMO they must be the right way around, as it is sagging towards the side with the highest mounting;swopping them would tilit the bakki...

Stef

I suppose the hand brake needs a little more umpf to brake a rolling vehicle. Just because it works on a level surface, it does not it will on an incline (I guess).

Maybe I ought to visit a Supa Quick on the way...I don't have the equipment to see if it brakes evenly.

Stef

I have the same problem with my LTD; mine is just on the driver's side. Also an OME lift underneath. :?: With 4 people inside it is sitting level If I grab the fender & lift it, it stays level, until I sit in it again. I think it could be the shock or maybe the leaf's need a tensioning. Haven't ...

Weet iemand waar in Pta ek ek spaar remote kan kry vir die standaard Toyota alarm stelsel? (Behalwe die stealers)

Stef

Moet teen volgende week my wa op my naam kry....

Is daar enige iets behalwe die vanselfsprekende (ligte ens) waaraan ek moet aandag skenk? :scared: Effe bekommerd oor die remme, of is ek maar net gewoond aan die Polo se ABS? My Lux briek as dit moet, moet net heelwat harder trap....

Stef

Man, that place is beautiful....I wish I could move back to PE :sobbing: I always wanted to see Baviaans
When I lived in PE I couldn't afford a 4x4; that's life I suppose

Stef

You are still going to be amazed (a few times over) by the capability of your vehicle!! :thumbup: I'm sure I would :cooldude: What amazed me more, was the Jimny,Rand Lovers & a Fortuner that battled over easy (at least it felt easy) obstacles. Saw a 4.0 V6 Lux; that vehicle is also extremely ca...

Went to de Wildt on my first 4x4 outing yesterday... Awesome day :thumbup: went extremely well for a newbie, or the SFA is just too good :spectacle: Did all the obstacles except "Gert se klip" (wussed out) & the mud holes (everybody started getting hungry). A few okes who wussed out at...

Stef

Ja nee, soos Spartan se, laaitie met 'n BMX :lol: :lol: Weet nie waar die OEM wiele is nie, het hom so gekry...moet bieg, ek verkies hierdie rims bo die OEM's :thumbup: laat die bakkie half "butch" lyk, veral met die 50mm OME lift :training: En hulle maak maklik skoon :thankyou: :lol:

Thanks & will do soon. Hoping to post some dirt pics after the weekend....

Recognise the pic? That's because I havent taken any new ones due to me gallavanting around town all Saturday with my new Toy :beach: Couldn't get to the dirt, but ran all the errands I could.

Remme ens doem ek eerder self... :thumbup: Voorbeeld: met my Polo se 45000 km diens was daar net 8% lewe op die voorste pads, volgens die "trained professional". Weet nou nie wat 0% in mm sou wees nie, maar ek het nog 12000km gery voor ek dit vervang het...daar was gemiddeld 4mm oor op die...

Stef

'96. The previous owner claims he got between 6-7 km/l, depending on you driving style and load, etc. I've read reports of 5-6km/l on the 2.4 & around 7km/l on the 2.2 :reading: , not enough 2.4's on the sticky to form an educated guess, hence the question. Apparently EFI can take it to 9km/l :...

Stef

What year model Shaun? I suppose you can't yet say what the consumption is like?

Stef

Kyk op oomblik na 'n '98 LTD; difflock standaard

IFS opsie uit prentjie, klaar verkoop....

Stef

The only thing that really concerns me about the SFA is the power & comfort on open road when doing long trips...
Consumption wise there doesn't seem to be much difference. Dunno so much about IFS as better investment, SFA's seemed to have maintained their value far better

Stef

Maybe a tad better. If you are going to use the vehicle for day to day driving and play now and then, IFS is probably better option. But if you want better offroad ability SFA is the only choice :) I hear you... but ... this would be a third (weekend) vehicle so either way it won't be used for comm...

Stef

If I could choose, I'd take the 2.7's body on the 2.4's chasis with the 2.7's engine and then that would be perfect :goodjob: Just my 2cw Well, that's just it... the 2700i looks nicer and has a few creature comforts but not quite the same mechanically from what I've read. What about engine performa...

Stef

I've seen the debates around SFA vs IFS

but I like both and have to pose the question:

What would you choose...'98 model 2.4 SFA OR '99 model 2700i IFS...

Exact same price with similar mileage (less than 10% difference)

Stef

Pity I didn't know about "Hello Peter" at the time! Most big companies wipe themselves off on Hello Peter...unless you thorw a few staff members' names around & send the link to Head Office :) Throw a few insults in the mix & 5 people will call in 5 minutes...better than the 8 wee...

Stef

I'm with Dial Direct, no hassles with previous claim on Citi golf. Sent the tow truck, did the repairs & even handled the legal stuff (lady tried a law suit). Bit pricey though,currently R2300 odd, but that's house contents,specified stuff like cell phones plus the 2 Polo's on comprehensive.

Stef

Nah, I'm sure you will have more than enough(trigger happy) volunteers to help recover you 'lux! Like a few Bulls supporters after a losing game...? Then again, Bulls don't lose..often :lol: :lol: Stormers will make it within yards & then just blame the ref when they can't find your van.... :tw...

Volkswagen is nie ver agter nie...hulle het my ook goed die hel in al :evil:

Stef

One thing I regret is having never been to Baviaans while I was in PE

then again, I doubt if my polo would have survived it :D

Die Hel is very nice, seen pics of a friend that went,very secluded 8 )

Stef

Having stayed in PE for 9 years, my wife worked in the motor industry for quite some time, doing real time line supply of parts & later wheel & Tyre assembly. When there is no stock to supply the production line (normally due to imports not arriving on time) they line supervisors would use a...

Stef

That's the same as most 2700i's?

Could very well be an option

Stef

The 4.0 V6 prices are looking good , worried 'bout consumption though. Will need it to commute as well.

Stef

With the new shape Hilux looming, it would make more sense to buy the D4D, but I still love the IFS shape :problem:

IFS's are still too expensive IMHO.

Stef

Really a follow on from the Price trend thread... What is your opinion: Red 2004 KZ-TE 218 000k m for R149 995 or White 2007 D-4D 193 000 km for R214 900 ? Mileage virtually the same...Price wise the KZ is more within my reach, but R214k for a 2007 D4D is almost too good to be true as most of them a...

Stef

Tx Chris, but actually looking for a KZ... Anyway, back to topic, I see a lot of 4x2 KZ's around and the prices seem to drop; saw a 2005 legend 35 for R139k the other day. Not sure if it is dodgy or just someone who priced it right :think: What is the going rate for an IFS 2.7 4x4 204/2005-ish follo...

Rebuilder Chris,

I'd be interested in your IFS...what model is it ?
Looking for KZ in good condition with minimal attention required...

Stef

Dit lyk bevange ou maat

Konrad, R160k vir 'n 2005 legend is 'n dêm goeie prys :) ek sien 4x2 legends nog steeds vir R184k :?: Soos Chopper sê, het vroulief se Chico nou vervang met die nuwe shape Polo ter wille van die huweliks politiek, en die feit dat ons tydelik net een voertuig gehad het, maar ek hou my oe nog steeds o...

Stef

Almost got exited about the Legend 40, 'til I saw the price.... R406k for the D-4D 4x4

Seems that only the price is legendary; R10k for every year

Stef

Tx. Just needed some sanity

Too desperate to make a proper decision. Anyway, took delivery of brand new 2010 Polo today, so mommy is happy.
I'll maar have to drive me 2007 Polo while looking for a decent 4x4 & trade it in or buy older model 4x4 as third vehicle

Stef

Some people take book & retail as the same thing. I this case the Retail is R148k with Trade-in around R135K according to McCarthy Toyota (from their little book) The site I mentioned lists Estimated Book, Retail & Trade-in, thus I guess agents retail as above = estimated book & Retail a...

Stef

What do you think is a fair price for a 2005 Legend 35 KZ 4x2, 95 000km? Book is R148k, can't remember trade-in. Can get one for R169 900, but is too steep for 4x2, I'm thinking R155k tops. It is not listed on the site below, but according to the site a 2005 3.0 D-4D R/B Raider should retail R161k m...

Stef

Tx Gert :)

Het weer 'n vars lys van Autotrader; moet dringend iets kry.

Vroulief se Golf is klaar verkoop en ons sit nou met net een voertuig

Andersins is dit maar die nuwe shape 1.4 Polo vir haar...dan ruil ek later my 2007 1.6 comfortline in op 'n 4x4.

Stef

Done so..

Hi What's a Transunion Report? Bundu, it is also referred to as an HPI. Basically you input the VIN number & it checks if the engine number matches, and verifies the year model. Also check if it is of "stolen interest" and it will list the enquiries done by banks/dealers (if any) etc ...

Midway Motors in Klerksdorp; blykbaar het hulle die ding so gekry op veiling, was 'n bank repo.

After only 2 days I am Lux-less (or luckless??) :sick: :sick: Turns out my wagon is not a 2003 with 136000km's but a 2002 that already clocked 269000km's in 2008 :thumbdown: :o: Also seems that there has been some work done to the doors on the right. Fortunately I could cancel the finance agreement ...

Dankie Dadz Toy...

My gut is a little upset right now :crazy: Bit concerned 'bout the service history, worst case I'd need a new engine(not sure what it costs (Holden motor import +- R18k). But then again, cars with service histories also fail. It certainly drives ok; drove it in 4H for a bit; no issues with locking/u...

Stef

Here are the pics; dealer bought it at auction & did some work on it. Piet, the autotrader one you suggested is a bit dodge, saw it at the dealer (Inspectacar), 250 000 km+; looks like it worked hard; I can get a 2004 KZTE 4x4 with 250k on clock for R149 950, body work also taken a beating though.

Stef

Tx Piet will check it out, also thought R150k is a bit steep; trade is R119k Retail is R135K

Hello All,

Not a 4x4 owner yet...might own a 2003 3.0 KZTE 4x4 (all I can afford). looking at buying one with 136k Km for R149k. Still wanna haggle over the price as it has the 4x2 steel rims with crappy tyres & not the original alloys.
