Check the starter relay

I think that's about average, you'll be doing well to find one better imo. 120s like to rust

I'm running Maxxis AT 771 tyres on mine due to the low price. 18 months in and all good so far.

Nice yacht, nicer truck though. ;)

Tempted until I saw that it failed mot on rust

Get a new seal from Toyota

TDA - turbo diesel automatic??

Rust, pretty much everywhere

That'll be a rot box

Exactly, if you worry about mpg then maybe you're looking at the wrong vehicle. I only tend to use mine at weekends, I definitely wouldn't be commuting any distance in it. Mine is used for towing, shooting and carrying stuff, I just fill it when it says it's thirsty.

Me neither but mpg was my last concern when buying my 80

I wouldn't be even be looking at any landcruisers if I was thinking about mpg. I pride myself knowing how much fuel my 4.2l burns. :)

Get a 24v 80, the best Landcruiser by far, You will need to pay for a decent one though. Although I'm biased because we have three. My brother has an 120 and it's not much better on fuel than my 80.

Just buy a genuine one, is it worth the risk fitting a aftermarket?

Getting rid of the Junkers pushes the decent ones up.

Also won't affect me, I walk to work. I think fuel should be £5 a litre to get some people off the road.

I ain't planning on going to London in the next decade anyway so won't affect me. I'm glad I live in the sticks.....

I'd rock that...

That's a beauty, Welcome

Really?? They have gone up then!

I just bought a centre diff lock switch from Japan off eBay, it was £85 delivered. My local dealer quoted £135.

Any problems and it sounds like you need to find a better mot tester

I take it your car is a 12 valve op?

Get a fiesta van on a any driver policy, that's what I advised my fiend to do. Cost £300 with nfu. You can even bolt the rear seats in.

You'll probably end up with it on fire with that jacket in the back. :mask:

Now painted up and back on the road. I just need to fit the new painted tailgate and give it a wash....:)

Well I'm after a decent mild steel for a 24valve we have here. Milner and roughtrax only stock 12v exhausts. Anyone know anywhere? I'd be interested in a 3" stainless for mine too.

Are any of your stainless exhausts 3" ?

Very cool indeed. My brother has a 90s Celica fitted with a Yamaha.

Where are those?

Happy birthday

The less insurance know about the better.

Now painted and waxoiled. Time to bolt on one of my old mans stainless steel towbars.

Petrol or diesel?

Dangerous isn't it :tearsofjoy:

That doesn't look overly rusty but I wouldn't be paying £7k for it. If you want a petrol manual then it's Japan only. Edit: here you go http://www.tradecarview.com/used_car_smart/toyota/landcruiser+80/19014016/

Non turbo...... I'm out!

I take it that the underseal was painted on yesterday?

Put it this way if a garaged 20k mileage 80 came up tomorrow for £20k. I'd buy it straight off.

On the plus side though they don't seem to hauling 3 tonnes of trailer all over the place and are generally looked after.

For me it's simply down to the condition underneath. If the 180k truck is rotten then you'll never fix it no matter how much you spend.

If you're considering paying that kind of money I'd start searching in Japan. I didn't even know that Toyota made a petrol manual but there's plenty over there. Some of the condition of them is stunning too.

Rust is the only main thing I look out for now, Everything else can be fixed fairly easily. I tend to look at what tow bar is fitted too. As Chris said most of these tended to be work horses after a few years old so a big nasty plant hitch on the back points to me that it's had a hard life. We...

Get another 80. What's better that the best 4x4...... Two of them.
