[J66P]

And don't forget the 120 is the best looking land cruiser out there :0) !!!

WHAT! they're bloody hairdressers cars compared to a beautiful BUTCH 80 series, (says he running for cover)

seeing this just makes me want a 90 series even more - and my mate keeps telling me to buy a freelander (he's a heathen...)

get yourself a Freelander to start with and the first time it breaks down get a real motor, it wont take long but at least you will know the difference

Hi majic,

I am guessing a good proportion of members here didn't start off with a Land Cruiser.
It's all a learning curve.
Them guys with Land Rovers, are still at the lower reaches of the curve.
Give them time,

I've started off with this

It's also fun offroad, but I want some creature comforts next

LOL.... that will be the same "Butch" 20 year old 80 series trucks you see round the Lake District with the wheel arches hanging off cos they are too fat for the gates?

Dont forget to bring the duct tape !!

Probably, got fed up putting them back so I've left mine off permanently now.

I'll reserve judgement (having 2 Land Rovers as well as my 90) until the 90 becomes as reliable and the Land Rovers.....(and it has quite some way to go on that front at the moment!)

You've only owned it a month?

Got to say, I'm always suspicious when there are major issues appear so soon after a purchase - who did it come from?

It was broke when you got it you just didnt know,

Seemed ok the first week. All seemed to behave as it should (aside from the O/D switch not really doing anything).
Got it from a dealer (won't say who just yet) and they were happy to pull the box to fix 4th but I want a full rebuild so we agreed I would make up the difference. Managed to find a guy who seems to know all about them who will do the whole job including t/c for £1200 + VAT with an unlimited mileage 12 month warranty. The dealers agreed to pay it if I give a £600 contribution.

The other thing that failed was the alternator.....

Some pics, in no particular order

One of these two is called Henry I believe. Well, the pub menu seemed to think so ....

My pics were more view-related than action shots

And a really cool school house!
