My name is Nick, I own a 92 V8 and I'm enjoying it immensely...... Have run into a few problems with it..... Failed alternator, broken door handle, jammed IACV, a whiney transmission, leaking radiator reservoir, leaking power steering pump and a leaky sunroof. So far it's cost me.... $120 for the guts of a 100 series Landcruiser alternator, $60 for transmission filter and oil, $15 for resin to fix the leaky reservoir, $10 for power steering stop leak, the IACV needed a good clean and lube, sunroof needed minor adjustment, door handle needed a little spot weld. The only thing I have left to fix is the A/C, that's leaking too. But thanks to this site and all the people that have contributed, it has made the repairs cheap and DIY and I'm really enjoying getting my hands dirty again...... Oh..... and my Mrs is so impressed that I fix these problems all myself =cD

Welcome Nick! look forward to seeing your soarer driving about as i'm in the same area as you (if you have seen a gold V8 soarer then that is most likely me).

Good work on fixing up those issues yourself, as for the AC leak
http://www.usasealants.com/products/red-angel-ac-stop-leak-conditioner/ maybe that would work? Don't know from first hand experience though.

Any pictures of the beast?

Possibly. though by the sounds of it, may be a different soarer.
