93

[Emo]

Mine is a 93 and I've got rear discs.

Question 2...... No

[hdj105]

Nearly all the 80's had rear discs, only a small quantity of early std wagons had rear drums.

1HZ's are not known to have b/e bearing probs, only the 1HD-T factory turbo's.

[chook05]

gxl had four wheel disks, all standeds pre 8/92 had rear drums.

Your dreaming

It is good practice to do your big end bearings regardless of the 1HZ or the 1HD-T.
GXL and above all had disk brake rear from the the begining.

Dumbdunce filled his multivalve up the other week with 141L, after we added about 4 litres from a jerry can to get him to the petrol station. Before we added the fuel, it was starting to cough and splutter a lot.

I put 85 litres in my main tank once. I was starting to sweat real bad. Have not used the sub tank yet, at about 195 litres I am just not game to fill it without cutting off my arm.
