  1. Yes and no, different number of windows, the roof is different and the wheel arches and floor, also different tail light metalwork- interior furnishings and rear vents.

    The brazilian ones weren't as well built or painted and most rusted away real quick, worth a lot less than a standard Bay, but cool coz they are different.

  2. Disregard statement about coils, just realised you have earlier M104 with dizzy cap, vacuum leaks are usually at the lights or at the transmission modulator, also may be making the box sluggish. Unplug air mass meter when running and if idle smoothes out you found the problem.

    The mileage on your car should be irralevant in terms of the bottom end, they generally are bulletproof.

  3. Ring startech in auck, genuine/oem plug leads for a M104 for around $150, check the coils too, there was a supersession to a newer type due to misfiring, older ones can be modified by running a couple of beads of mig down the outside to prevent tracking.

    M104 vs Jeep six is like comparing a DC3 with Concorde.. The old pushrod six is a good motor, also way too tall to fit in a Mercedes engine bay, the M104 is in a different league technology wise/ 1/10th the weight..

    And a million times better than a RB motor.

    Drop in a 3.2 M104 and upgrade software and watch it fly.

  4. Nah but it's my mate Nick's, nice 71 2002 auto- used daily. I just done the head and some major smash repairs on it. Can be seen most days outside Freyberg pool as he has the little cafe at the front, Bernies..

  5. fuck territroys are gay as shit. better off buying a real deal 4x4 7 seater if you're going to buy one of those.

    xc70s are win i reckon. get a block one, add mudgrips and big mudflaps and a roofrack with lights and be king.

    This, Volvo's are fantastic.

    Also done a few overhauls of Allroad air suspension, no dramas, seal kits available and the US reconditioned struts have a lifetime guarantee
