I have just been looking at the Suzuki Grand Vitara. From the info on the web, it is constant 4WD, but does have 4H, 4L, and lock. Any thoughts on this as an option for a capable SWB 4WD?

I believe Mitsubishi has either stopped, or is about to stop (again) selling the shorty Paj - but I read that Toyota are about to release a shorty Prado.


Is there any info on the Prado on the web anywhere?

Hi guys, thanks for the info, in my opinion, I would define SWB as a shorter version of an existing LWB with 2 doors. In regards to the Jimny option, I think probably the biggest weakness would be that they are very narrow. Apart from this, how would they compare to say a SWB Pajero or Jeep for 4WD ...

Short Wheel Base Options

Just curious in terms of what is available for newer models in SWB with genuine 4x4 capability. I am aware of the Pajero R / X SWB and the Jeep options, but haven't been able to find much else. Not really interested in things like the RAV 4 etc, as these are more off an off roader as opposed to ...

Fuel additive in Toyota Bundera?

I have a 1985 Bundera 22R, just wanted to know if you need to add the lead replacement fuel additive to this, or are the heads already hardened?

I wouldn't say strong, does appear to be a sluggish motor but seems to run fine. From what I have read in these forums, you could expect to get 500k from them if looked after. Having said this, I don't exactly know how well they ran when they were new, so its hard to draw a comparison on how much ...

I just bought a 1985 LX Bundera RJ70 - 2.4L, for $2250. Has 360000k, bugger all rust, but needed a bit of work on front bearings and brakes.

To give you an idea, I just purchased an 85 Bundera for $2250. It only has rust in the gutter sill around 2cm long, and no other rust. It was ACT rego'd, but to get a blue slip in NSW it needed front bearings, front rotors, front brakes front brake lines and I also got new hubs put in it. Total cost ...

Broken Heater Control

Hi, Hopefully someone can help, I have a 85 Bundera 22R. The bottom toggle slide on the heater control switch has come loose. I have removed all of the dash exterior, and found that the metal lever has a round flange on the end. This goes under the unit, then sits on a plastic knob. The plastic knob ...
