    Default Series 3 R31 Silo

    Hey peeps, my sis no longer uses this and needs it gone. Currently its out of reg and hasnt been driven in a couple of months. I suspect it will need a new battery to get going but im not 100% sure.

    91 Silo
    White over grey 2-tone
    auto
    23*,000 kms
    $1500 ono
    Stock apart from Pioneer HU and speakers in the rear shelf (spacers used so no holes in shelf)
    Car is located in Flemington, Melbourne

    My sister bought this car off one of my mates a couple of years ago with 213,000kms on it. He inherited it from his Grandpa (the original owner) when he died with 160,000kms on the clock. I've known this car since 2000 and have personally serviced it many times over the years.

    When my sister got it had the following done:

    New windshield
    New battery
    New front pads and discs
    New rear pads, discs and rebuilt calipers
    New handbrake cables
    brake fluid flush
    New wheel bearings front
    New monroe gas inserts front
    New lower ball joints L & R front
    New centre tailshaft bearing
    4 * tyres (i think they're Nexen but can double check)
    4 wheel alignment done by myself. I was very particular
    set of plugs
    coolant flush/change
    oil and filter
    fuel filter
    trans filter/fluid
    subi spray/upper cylinder clean

    More recently i replaced the steering rack bushes and steering column bush with superpro items and had another wheel alignment. I also did a service, fuel filter, coolant and plugs.
    alternator was replaced about 18 months ago with a reco item

    Water pump and timing belt were done at 200,000kms by another mechanic. Should be in the receipts pile somewhere, along with a few other services i didnt do.

    The body is reasonably straight but has a few bumps around the place and a split front valance (the bit under the headlights between the bumper bar) but will come with another one to prep/spray.
    It is dirty inside and out. Seats need a steam clean and it needs a good wash, cut and polish. Try getting a chick to clean a car - I dare ya!

    Bad points:
    -ISCV is doing its usual thing. I have cleaned a few out and swapped them over but it needs to be done again. I can supply a spare if need be.
    -Elec auto is doing its usual thump into second. Common for these and is usually the solenoid that requires replacing. I have been quoted $40 dollars for one from a supplier.
    -Diff has a little bit of backlash but is also common for these things. LSD still works too!
    -Alternator is on its way out again. I have rebuilt these before and can get slip rings and bearings for under $90. Takes 1 hour with a press and soldering iron to rebuild and will be 100% better than a reco item - guarantee it.
    -AC needs new seals and regas
    -Needs a clean

    Its a reliable car thats never been thrashed and with a few hours of TLC and a couple of small things maintenance items will go for another 150,000kms.

    Call me, Stu on 0415 298 248 for more tech details or Nicola on 0421224565 to arrange a viewing.
    Car is located in Flemington, Melbourne






    PS: Sorry about the shitty pics. Thats all my sis sent me
