105 stood for over 5 years

Post by disco4x4 »

Guys,

my brand 'new' 105 (2,000 KM) was standing at customs for over 5 years (2004 model)
after release from custom I had:
T belt replaced
all liquids in the car replaced
will replace the fuel filter tomorrow
air filter looks good

1. is there anything else you would recommend to replace as preventive action ?
2. the car is still not working perfect - engine noisy and transfer shift shakes like crazy and noisy - optional reasons ?

any thoughts are welcome

Keep an eye on your brake fluid for a while. Brake fluid is water based and the rubber can stick to the walls of the calipers and wheel cyl when sitting for long periods. your shocks could start leaking as well.
I recon the fuel needs a good flush. Is she petrol or diesel?

Just curious why so long at customs??

coolant, engine oil, diff oil f and r, transfer oil, transmission oil, brake fluid, clutch fluid if hydrualic. I'd drain the tank and put in new fuel especially if it is diesel. New battery as any SLI battery standing draining like that wont be good.

Check to see if you can rotate the engine by hand/tool ok.

thanks guys,

sorry for not mentioning - the car has 1HZ engine

DR - the car was meant for armor = stronger axle & very stiff suspension (which I soon will replace with probably Tough Dog 2" lift springs and Fox remote gas shocks). They did not finish the project, and kept the car is custom for a long time - there is only one more 105 in the country (Israel), therefore was not easy to get out of customs.

Anyway,
all liquids were changed
new battery was placed

did not drain the tank, but the car drove 2,000 KM since released - is that enough or should I still drain the tank ?
