Just got a 2002 GU III,3.0 with 145,000k's on the clock. Other than the usual Fluids and filters, is there any other areas with the motor that I should check?
Thanks.

Thanks for that mate, I will look into it. I do know of most of the probs associated with this motor and was just seeing if there was any other items not to overlook.
I also did expect the usual dribble from the usual driblers on this Forum
. I do have an 4.2TD GQ which will be donating it's motor down the track a bit later
, but for now its the wifes shopping trolley.
