Yeah do a service on it like K-BAGZ said, is the idle smooth still or lumpy?
I would suggest change the oil, check all vaccume lines are connected espically the thin black one under the throttle body, and give the throttle body a good spray with some throttle body cleaner, squeak I have no idea.

But The plans for this ute look great :D
Yeah actually speakin of, I took the plenum cover off an its pretty putrid so to is the TB didn't think the plenum would make much difference if its dirty or not but,

Cheers bud

So many white utes!!

I'd start with checking the vacuum and throttle body hoses, clean the throttle body and IAC valve. Check condition of spark plug leads and plugs etc.

RH squeak? Probably just debris embedded in the brake pad. Either bed them in or remove and de glaze the pads.

Sweet FA was open in Mount Isa today!

Okay, bit of a learning experince cause sorry but I couldn't even tell y where vacuum hoses are, embarrassing as it is to say it, don't know that much about cars, I try doin everything my self just so I can learn, but hasn't been a speedy process haha

Yeah that squeek goes away under braking

Copy image code from photobucket or whatever and paste directly into the reply box. Same as you do photos.
