Thanks all.

So not much difference compared to a manual gearbox then .

Is that with a 4 or 5 speed box please ?

Hi , Hope I'm in the right section. I'm considering a 2008 d4d automatic with 152k miles . I think it's ideal as I do a lot of towing so no clutch worries and I'm lazy and like autos . The only reservation I have is concerning MPG as I normally do 15k anually. I'm easy with my right...

Thanks for info guys .

I've spotted a nice 2001 3L diesel with 140k miles on the clock for sale and I'm tempted . How does it compare to the later 2006 3L diesel which I'm more familiar with . Is it much less fuel efficent with the older engine and 5 speed box . I achieve about 30 mpg on my 2006 model Are there any...

Thanks for all the help guys ...... A good forum you have here . I understand Toyota did the seals already .

My last experience was a Disco 3 and had to spend 4k on it in first year and bought from main dealer I soon traded it I thought a landcruiser was a more simple basic less troublesome vehicle i.e electric handbrake air bags etc . Suppose they all have their woes. What shocks me is the high...

T OK . I've had that experience with a Disco 3 .

Hello all . I am currently looking for a 120 D4D about 2007 is best I can afford . Most advertised land cruisers have very high miles like 200k miles , I know they are highly regarded vehicles , but are they not almost worn out at this mileage even with regular servicing ?

Hello All, So easy to join thank you . I have had a Discovery 300tdi for many years and found it very reliable and cheap to drive I am considering a Toyota 120 D4D about year 06 , so will watch this useful forum club. Thanks all
