Thanks Yarno.

I'll have to take note of what you just posted, as I will take it for a full service when I get it.
Gonna do the timing belt for sure as well.

I checked a 91 model 2.8L out and the fellow is a back packer, willing to sell it for pretty cheap, less than $9,000!!

But he has ...

By the looks of it, I will be buying an MU this or next weekend.

So can anyone recommend a place in Sydney to take the MU for a service?? I'd prefer to take it to someone who has done a few MU's before?
