gday rod every 2000 miles will keep her happy,what i also do seeing there is no oil filter is buy some cheap oil as well, drain your oil ,put in the cheap oil run it 4 about 1 min, drain again then pour in your good oil,I sugest 40-70 penrite.its a thick oil which will keep your pressure up and the motor runs not as loud m_o_h

gday had the same problem with my tank 4 the ute.rust holes on the top of one ect.the process use to weld top to bottom is called roll welding.the way it was explained to me sounded complicated.everyone i took it to said it was not worth thier while.in the end i took it to a friend who is a ex panel beater.he cut the rust out in sections then welded plates same thickness in there place.some touch up then tar and u will never know. if u find someone willing to do the job make sure tank is flushed in case there is some petrol fumes ect also u must treat the tank after it has been repaired as it will rust on the inside where the weld is.he used a product that he said was used by motor bike tank repaires.just need to find a good welder m_o_h

gday had the same problem turned out to be my tail shaft jack up the car,get it on stands, start the engine, get it idling in second gear, then get under the thing with a light(helps to cast shadows)watch your taleshaft. if u have any movement up/down, your taleshaft is either out of balance ,or warped.the factory specs allow for 0.030 of a inch movement, any more will cause vibration and eventually damage your uni joints,might be a good idea to change your yoke if it is the tailshaft,new yoke is around 89.00 at rares cheers m_o_h
