Hi all have just returned from Canada and now just down to one Double
cab
Syncro. Details of my Syncro Double Cab here in Australia. It is a
1989 model
with front & rear diff locks, factory tacho. This vehicle I believe
was a
demonstrator model to showcase the range of Syncro models. It was
featured
in Overlander magazine issue Aug 89. So the history sort of stops
there so I
figure that it has had a very hard life with journo's putting it
through its paces
and a hard private life. Since owning it I have rebuilt the whole
front end with
new bushes everywhere, including new front M struts, this has brought
the
vehicle back to new in regards to driving. Rear shocks replaced with
OME,
and the usaul maintenance issues, being solved with searching
everything
until the fault has been found. I also relaced the propshaft due to
it having
serious vibrations, and opted to order a rebuilt one from bernd
jaegar in
germany. The process was very easy and within 3weeks received the new
propshaft. Vibration is now gone. I use my syncro for work everyday
so it still
is getting a hard run. Some details on how many Syncro double cabs,
&
Syncro single cabs imported into Australia would be interesting to
know as
there are not many around, if anyone knows let us know or register
your
personal Syncro. Hope to hear from other owners. Mark
