I have a Midi, use it as a daily and a workvan. Mine is the 2.4TD, which keeps up with modern traffic, column change 3-seater van. They did a floor shift, but only has 2 seats up front. They are Isuzu. They rot badly, but I think most went for export. Parts are hard to find. Second hand parts are few and far between, and usually knackered. New parts are hard to find, they are out there but no-one has crossed referenced the part numbers properly. For example, you won't even find window wipers listed at EuroCarParts, let alone engine components. There are some photos of mine here: www.facebook.com/2wdOffRoader

I still have a new tailgate somewhere, a bit knocked about but not rusty!

For example, you won't even find window wipers listed at EuroCarParts, let alone engine components. ecp is the problem in that statement.... took me 15 minutes to tell the bint working there that yes they do carry oil filters for my 106. then after being told they could supply me FRONT caliper carriers for swmbo's A4 , decided all of a sudden they only carry REAR ones...all that took 20 odd minutes to plough through. rse and elbow spring to mind!!

They're Isuzu, so 6-stud J pattern wheels.
Rear live axle with leaf springs, front suspension is double wishbones and coil springs.

Clutch slave cylinder for the 2wd 2.4TD is 94319307, GM don't seem to list the prop UJ for the 2.4 only a complete prop but I think you can use joint 7156340 which changes to 91109415

Thank you, the clutch slave cylinder I bought tallies with that. The motor factors got a bit concerned because their system didn't cross reference the cylinder as fitting a Midi!
Just one more thing, they did an LSD as an optional extra, don't suppose that part number is listed is it? Thanks, Ed

They list either the Isuzu axle or Salisbury axle, its only the Salisbury axle that had the LSD part number 91149262 I think, should think its mega rare!

I just bought a 1995 midi with 20000 miles on. It's my 1st diesel, its fairly slow but feels good to thrash around. It will kick the tail out at slow speed in the wet which is fun. Column change is quirky. As for rust.. is there any commercial vehicle that’ll last 24 years as a workhorse without rusting. I’m pleased with mine. Done probably 400 miles or more in the last few weeks no problem. I’ll put some pictures on when I remember how to do it

The seller didn’t want to give me a contact number as I’m finding a lot recently which I find really odd. I’ve been using my wife’s Facebook to search for cars, so request a phone number and never get a reply 🤷🏻♂️

Looks in really good nick, and was up for a cheap price!
If that was about when I was looking, I would have bitten the guys hand off!
