Don't need it to be bulletproof.

Will certainly look at your recommendations though, thanks.

Daughter turns 16 next week so she'll be going for her license soon and the plan was it would be her first car.

Truck is on 01'. Bought new.

It's never given me any real trouble and I've certainly gotten my moneys worth + out of it.

It's only got 125k on it which is nothing for that motor.

In normal circumstances I'd call it a day but it will cost me more than the rebuild to get her into a vehicle so it'll get fixed.
