[andy65b]

Ok still looking for a M35.

Found one but it has a few issues, just wanted to get your thoughts on them and if they are big issues . How much would it cost to fix/ repair them? I'm going to call mechanics around here and see if i can get quotes.

- FRONT UNIVERSAL JOINT OF FRONT TAILSHAFT IS WORN. $145 for the boot to be replaced and greased at commercial service centrre.

- RHF RACK HAS SLIGHT MOVEMENT ON RACK & PINION. $200 for replacement from commercial workshop.

- BOTH FRONT LOWER CONTROL ARM RUBBER BUSHES ARE WORN AT REAR SIDES. $300 I think it was from Jetwreck

- OIL LEAKING FROM PASSENGER SIDE ROCKER COVER GASKET AREA. Not done this one

- TURBO INTERCOOLER HOSE LEAKING FROM CLAMP Not done this one

I've got afew more M35's to look at but damn, these inspection costs are mounting up.

The Prices I paid for these jobs were...

Rocker cover gasket is $30 and budget an hour to 2 hours in labour. So around $200 ish.
