Hey all, been a long time since I have been to this forum however I am now in a dilemma and am looking for some advice.
I currently have a 2002 PA which has the usual problem of oil leaking from tappet covers which I have never really worried about as to me it more of a cosmetic problem than an actual problem which needs money spend to fix due to the small volume of the leak.
However the last few weeks it has started to idle very low when stopped at lights etc and almost stalling when A/C on or a tight turn is required (due to the extra load on P/S pump I assume)
It now has close to 190K on it so a new timing belt will be required soon.
It has been well set up with lift, dual lockers, dual batteries, snorkel, electric brakes etc etc
Even though it has been a great car and the problems are not significant (well I am not sure about the low idle, so some suggestions on what to look for would be appreciated) unfortunately they are not worth much anymore and I am thinking of selling and buying a new Pajero Sport.
I am just struggling with the concept of spending a few $K to fix some issues on an old car which could be 1/2 its value.
I am interested in your comments.
Cheers,
Jason.
