    Are there any friction modifiers that can be added to the gearbox oil to prolong their life ?

    Nulon products ?

    You'll get a rear facing in the middle seat but forward facing only in the side seats. I've got two set up in mine currently, one forward and one backwards.

    I have a 2003 Courier 4wd. Its done 470,000kms........ Bought it at 400,000 knowing it would probably need a recon at any stage (it was on original motor, no rebuild etc but was owned by a mechanic shop so was very well looked after, and had a full panel and paint for the sale) I factored this into the purchase price and had them recon the gearbox, although it didn't really need it, and put a new head on it. Its been an absolute trooper since then, they have plenty of go for a 2.5, runs circles around our 3.0L turbo Hilux's. Tows really well, put a set of mud tyres on it and it goes well off road, has factory diff locks.
    I drain the and flush the radiator everytime I do an oil change as I also heard the radiator is their archilles heel and is what leads to the cracking heads problem.
