Ref toyota land cruiser how good are they

[nick channer]

the land cruiser colarado is what your talking about.. cant be compared to an amazone in any way.... but havin said that they'd be miles in front of any disco... anything with a landrover badge is fit for one thing and thats the scrap yard.. in last 2 yrs i had a sport [disco3]. td6 range rover and a late 90... all gone now.. landcruiser amazone.. audi Q7 and newer tansit tipper..never known so newer cars spend so much time at main dealers... my amazone is a mint 99 T reg with just turnt 70k miles. it had done 53k when i bought it a yr ago and has never once been to a main agent.. or any garage. only for brakes etc..

Brought an old SWB colarado earlier in the year, it's a 2000, cost less then £3K. Try and buy a 90 for that. It is the 3l turbo diesel. Bit thirsty 25-28mpgs, but very comfortable and will happily pull our 2.2ton chipper.

I have a 1999 amazon had for 6 or 7 years now had new brakes and piece of exhaust and 2 oil changes. Have a disco van ok for work dont want anything LR for family use. Next van will be landcruiser with d4d . New LR lots of bling no quality.

I think there is a reason why when you go to places like Africa you only really see Hi-lux and Landcruisers, not Landrovers.

 

Apologies to all LR owners, I'm sure your LR's are great for your purpose. (although a unimog would be better )

We got a lancruiser, the mile ometer gave up at 300,000 miles but the engine still goes, o,k many of the ponies have fled the stables but it still runs. There has been a horrible clicking noise on full lock the past year but still no failure. The steering wheel is down to the steel and the foam has fallen out of the seat leading to, a lop sided gangster style driving position. The bonnet has has lost its lacquer after the engine over heated causing it to fade but still it will not die!!!

It just will not die

It's a 4.2l 24v turbo seems the best one they made, I,m also amazed as it only gets cleaned on a rainy day that the body has no real major rust.

 

If I could afford the running costs I,d have one myself stunning vehicle.

Nissan Patrols are god too, had a chipped 3.0 auto one 7 years ago , did around 25-30 depending on my driving.... thats the prob with chipping them they just wanna go.... its still running about the town....
