Morning Land Cruiser members , I’m Matthew, I live in Greater London ( Bromley) I am in the market for a Toyota Land Cruiser 1990-1996 80 series, 4.2 litre diesel, manual.
I have recently put an offer in for one.
I went and had a look at it, what can I say 30 year old vehicle need so much work to be done to her and that is excluding cosmetics. e.g complete new breaks, wheel bearings, pipes, drums etc.
all 4 springs and Leafs, suspension are rusted . There is rust but the chassis seems to be fine. Gear box, diff’s, sump, breaks all leaking movement on the prop shaft
the engine sounds sweet, but who knows. I have no idea about the electrics.
I am not a mechanic but I can tinker . Where is the best places for parts, any car breaker out there that have Land Cruiser?
any suggestions will be very welcome.
Thank you.
