Hi,
First time posting so please be gentle.
After firmly deciding against a Landrover for my first 4x4 because of their appalling reliability, I confidently started to think Toyota.
My budget can only stretch to a 53/04/54 L3, Diesel, Manual which means anything from probably 75 - 95K miles on the clock. I'm looking for a "keeper" to run for at least 5 years and only expect to do 10K a year and a lot of towing.
I have confidently been looking for my prospective purchase until I started reading about engine failures on this forum, can anyone perhaps give me a view on what particulary to look out for with this model when buying and any other known issues.
Any info would be most welcome.
Regards
