1997 Hilux 2WD Diesel Ute

Brian from Central Whangarei

298,400kms
2.4 Diesel
2WD
5 speed manual
Six seats with seat belts
Mags
New tyres
Reconditioned gearbox
Canopy
Towbar
Fairly new battery
Central locking
Immobiliser
Current rego - October '18
Current wof - April 18
Soft roof racks included

Presented in 'rough, but reliable' condition, my old workhorse is now surplus to requirement and is looking for a new home.

I bought her to move house and lug renovation materials about the place - that work is now substantially done.

Recently she's been demoted to 'commuter'.

She hates it.

She prefers to work.

I've had her for ten years and the only time she ever let me down was last year when the gearbox went.

When I asked my mechanic if it was worth repairing her, he looked at me as if I was mad and said:

'It's a Hilux - you've only just run it in!'

Hence I had the gearbox reconditioned.

She's one of the last of the New Zealand assembled Hiluxes, so that's a piece of history.

No major rust - just the mandatory surface stuff around scuffs.

Rear passenger side door is in primer - had to replace it for a warrant a couple of years ago. Window seals failed at some point in it's history and that door eventually rotted out at the bottom.

No major dings - just the usual war wounds of a twenty year old ute who has worked for living.

Like I said - rough, but reliable.

She's been in daily use, regularly serviced, is cheap to run and starts first time every time.

You should take a test drive today.

Dr. Moss Retirement Announcement and Details

Riverside Women's Healthcare

Dr Moss, Specialist Gynaecologist, at Riverside Women’s Healthcare, will be retiring in December, with her last consultation day scheduled for December 12, 2024.

Unfortunately, we have not yet found a successor. She will cease performing major surgeries, such as hysterectomies at the end of October to ensure that all post-operative follow-ups are completed before her retirement. However, she will continue to conduct minor surgeries until her final operating list on 6th December, which allows time for follow-up on results.

During November she will stop seeing most new patients except for urgent issues and will focus solely on follow-up appointments until December.

An email will be sent to all existing patients of Dr Moss with more details closer to the date.
