Having owned a LJ70 then a KZJ70 I can say the difference is like chalk & cheese. The 3.0L engine is very atheletic compared to the 2.4TD.

 

[Craigmorley]

I take it that it's defiantly a good choice then lol
what they like reliability wise any thing to watch out for?

 

[Yorkshire Devil]

Nothing to watch out for. They are ultra reliable just make sure you cooling system is 100% and the radiator and water pump & thermostat are in perfect working order.

The only thing which is a bug bearer is the oil light which can come on at times even when full but other than that its ok.

 

[Craigmorley]

Ok then I've wired up my 2.4lt oil pressure sender so haven't go a light I've got a brand new rad and matrix along with stat and rad cap so j hope fingers crossed It will be ok I'm buzzing I want to no why every one rants about this engine lol
thanks

 

[Craigmorley]

We'll engine is all in and it's defiantly worth it lol

If it's the electric pump there's a pic on the "digital tuning devices" thread somewhere
