Coal Miner

the old man has both these issues.

the clunk was reduced around 90% (his claim) on its first service) by greasing and the oil use was around 1/2 litre per 1000k's I believe.

the clunk he can live with, the oil use he ain't impressed with at all.

same with a few things like missing power outlets etc.

Mate our v8 cruisers at work chew oil. More when there putting around than working hard.. Keep an eye on your alternator. We work 0n 90% dirt roads and due to the position the placed the alternator they seem to fill up with dirt and self distruct! We get an avarage of 2000 - 15000km out of an alternator!

Floging the ***** off my lc200 ttd in the mines i use 1-1.25lt of oil every week. its only 3mths old but we have done 25000km in it and the oil consumption does not seem to be easing up. BTW where are you getting your alternaters from ?

Pull off the 2 plastic covers (don't twist or bend, just pull off), then unbolt the 4 bolts. Took mine off for space, just got to cover the mounting brackets with a bit of carpet. LOADS more space for camping gear.

Its much more fun to order the car with no seats other then the front two. I have fitted the back out with custom black widow draw set. I carry alot of sesitive equipment onto a lot of different mine sites through out qld.
