Jimmy, I drove to Morocco via Dover, France, Spain and Cueta last year. To be honest the cost of driving, tolls, accomodation/ camsites en route isn't much different from getting the ferry to Spain and driving to cueta. You can see a detailed breakdown of costs here -...

No private (apparently) took two other calls when we were out (one about a hi-lux). Getting impatient.....Bit harder than I thought finding a low milage 5dr Colorado VX with stamped service history. Seem to get snapped up quickly. I'm assuming by dealers, as there are not many private sales.

Must have no more than 120,000miles on clock and FULL stamped service history. Have already been let down by a couple of mis-described motors. It will be given a very thorough going over. I'm not a fan of red.....it clashes with my eyes.

I went look at a Colorado '1998' (yes change my mind again - want the older engine) yesterday advertised with 104,000 miles on the clock with FSH . Took 2 hours drive to get there, and the milage on the clock was 134,000 and he couldn't find the service book......Grrrrrrrrr

Bit late now....but google 'American Cot' I have two, and they are VERY well made and comfortable. http://www.britishmilitarysurplus.co.uk/ishop/1069/shopscr310.html They are military issued, but you see them regularly on ebay. My ones are ten years old get used a lot and are still tight as a...

Well serviced, gear arranged so that you dont have to turf everything out to get something, a fridge and BFG tyres. After that, it depends on your bank balance and how bored you are. :thumbup:

That's spot on...looks good too.

This morocco 4x4 forum was started by me after a trip to Morocco in a Discovery last year. Hopefully it will grow and help others organise their own trips. It is open to all makes of 4x4, and is solely about Morocco. http://sahara-overland.proboards.com/index.cgi?

My Discovery (cough) is on ebay. Don't think I'll be buying a Cruiser from a dealer, but thank you for the heads up.

Am I right in saying that the 120 series has an 87L tank?

Thanks for the feedback Gary.

Exactly what I was thinking. Maybe I should have asked .....how good do you find your D4D powered land Cruiser?

Yes it has. But if what people are saying on here, and other forums/websites are correct....TLCs don't tend to suffer from electronic managment problems. Would love to hear from anyone on here who has???????

Just found a very informative thread that answers all of my queries. Thanks to all of those who contributed to the thread. http://www.landcruiserclub.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=8940&hilit=d4d+engine D4D it is then. Not sure which series yet.

Cheers Andrew, will have a surf.
