Newbie here.....just brought a Hiace SC, good or bad (Ausie)

Hi all,
Due to an epanding family...I have just purchased a 1994 Super Custom Limited Edition. I just curiouse as to the diffrences beetween the Super Custom and the LTD version (7 seater).

Also what should i look for as far as any common faults, this one has done 130000ks, 3lt turbo, auto

Any help would be greatly appreciated....ps great forum

welcome to the club

there is a lot of info on this site read through it and if there is anything that your not sure of just ask us and someone can help

Welcome from sunny Qld. I hope you enjoy your new toy. This forum should guide you through any teething problems as stated above, but in the main they are pretty good. They have many features that the modern vehicles are still catching up with.

Mine's been good, although I had to recondition the auto transmission last year at around 140000k's. The converter fused itself to the clutch plate so I lost reverse. A rare problem apparently. Other than that it has been a good van. I put a set of alloys on it to try & make it look a bit cooler. I think anything is better than hubcaps. BAN THE HUBCAP!!!!

Also I disconnected the "lights on, door open, please don't leave me" beeper which was doing my head in, especially if you want to play a CD with the door open. Now I just have to find the "sunroof open" beeper & I will be a happy man. Oh also that annoying "you have selected reverse & are going backwards" beeper. You would think the car was made in America with all the bells & beepers!

i like the reverse beeper it helps when your 4wdin and want to keep your eyes on the track

Fair enough. If it was a reverse parking sensor I wouldn't mind. I find the rear mirror on the liftgate handy especially when backing up to a car or trailer.
