Hi all, will most likely be purchasing a MY06 3.0r spec B 6Mt wagon next saturday.
Live in the northern suburbs of Melbourne and keen to start learning from you guys -
and potentially start doing some small mods over time.
I will post some pics once I get a hold of it.
Cheers

Welcome!
Are you teeing up any pre purchase inspection?
Lmk, I need to grab my Btssm logging kit from Marcus...

G’day again Ben,
For now i’ve just got a mechanical pre-purchase inspection booked for Friday.
If you’re available this week some time i’ll try to make it work, otherwise I’ll pay you a visit post-purchase and hope that everything checks out!

I guess the main things to check from my POV, are inlet leaks: eg cracked plenum being a main culprit.
The mechanic can potentially use a shop scanner to look at long term fuel trims aka a/f learning 1.
This value should be within +/- 5% on a healthy car.
If not the car needs further diagnostics eg inlet pressure test.
The scan tool will also bring up any stored or current cel codes, make an accurate note of the codes for looking up the issues in eg the FSM workshop manual.
On the hoist check all the relieved and silicone filled (diff) suspension bushes.
The relieved bushes: holes for nvh relief, tear at around 100k km and are best replaced with aftermarket solid items, front lower control arm bushes rear position, rear diff, rear trailing arms front position, pitch stop and engine & gearbox mounts being the main culprits.

Yeah thats exactly what they said they’d do along with the basic servicing. So i’ll wait to hear back and if need be they’ll be the first things i’ll replace/upgrade from a drivability stand point, and given it’s a high milage vehicle. I believe it’s already passed a RWC so chances are they’re okay for now... will keep you guys in the loop
