Looking for a Bighorn

[Downhillnz]

Righto guys. I have convinced the better half to get rid of her Altezza.

I am looking for a 7 seater bighorn. Preferable to be the newer 3.1TD shape. Manual is preferred but no essential. Must be tidy inside and out.

Ideally not too many issues with it.


I either have my turbo diesel corolla to swap or an altezza and cash. Or maybe just cash.

Will travel anywhere around the country side to get it!!!!!

PS. Nothing wrong with the altezza. Petrol prices make me cry.

Why not another MU?

Ever seen a Mu with 7 adults inside?
There was one in a Porirua dealer a couple of moths back Will try and check on the weekend

Sounds like a fun party.....

I've found one!!! Picking it up tomoro.

The wife didn't want a two door truck. And it needed to be 7 seater and not a van. A bighorn is all my brain could think of.

The one I found runs rough (someone failed at doing a cambelt and my money is on the diesel pump being out by a few teeth) but reasonably tidy and very cheap.

hope its not something more serious but then if you buy cheap and the rest is good you can spend a few dollars fixing it

It is in dire need of a general service. And a good rugdoctor. Its filthy.

For the price I paid I could part it and not worry.

My old bighorn was bought by a wrecker for 1220 If you got it less than that you cant lose

[Downhillnz]

It was. Plot thickens.... Crank keyway is worn to buggery. No wonder it runs like a lemon. Time to get the mig out

[geeves]

keyway on crank or the spacer thing the crank goes in. Heat from the mig could lead to cracking but then the correct repair is a new crank so you are already half way into a rebuild
