I have one for towing all our equipment on a weekly basis, Bandit equipment so it works hard. It has just clocked 106K without too many problems although it is serviced regularly. Just had its 105K service which is everything + cam belt & that was £550.

 

Prone to suspension arms/bushes wearing & had a couple of electrical faults but apart from that all good. We have another automatic which has not been as reliable as my manual, think they suffer from gearboxes & torque converters.

One of the best 4x4 to drive, Tow with etc... But be prepared for dipping into your wallet!

I had the therapy now Jon and can say the £1200 a month saving is coming in handy. There was just too many inferior components falling off mine at such a low mileage when it had such an easy life.

I've just sold one after 13,000 miles in 9 months

 

The above quote about sums it up really. Really nice to drive, 400 miles towing and get out as fresh as you got in but once they get a taste for the garage they eat money.

 

Bottom arms front and rear, suspension compressor and general air leaks, gearbox, torque convertor, egr valves.

 

It's a £50k vehicle and repair bills are based on this fact. Find a good one and you are laughing, find a neglected one and your wallet will cry!!

Iv got one and yes it gets used its got A/T tyres and has mud on it so not just a school runner, do I like No is it any good for towing No am I going to sell it and get anther landcruiser Yes

I loved mine fantastically good to drive solo great for towing. All leather interior, upgraded stereo to die for. Unmarked unworked condition like new but it just fell to bits. I spent 3 times as much on it in 3 months than the landcrusier in ten years.
