100 series problems

Post by chook05 »

Im looking at a 100 series gxl diesel (99 live axel) 170,000 ks,on a test drive on the freeway the steering was pulling to the left got used to it then the camber of the road changed and the car tried to change lanes then started pulling to the right, (checked tryes no flats) owner told me it had had a w/alingn but still pulled left or right, no signs of off road or repair, any ideas?
Also the car was SLOW (read gutless as) compeard to 80 gxl diesel, acceleration did not pick up throuh the rev range at all , ie acceration at full revs in 3rd was same as low revs in 1st (does that make sence) owner has spent $1000 on geting "injectors done" in last 12 months.

have you ever driven a n/a diesel?

the power is constant. most n/a diesels have a flat torque curve; which is what makes them good IMO.

if he's had the injectors done, thats good and will save you money (even though it shouldn't cost "$1000's" considering i did mine for $250 :D )

my two cents ;)
indubitably
