My beast

1969 Ex-Army Series 2A FFT

I know about three people with RAVs and they all complain about crap fuel figures....although 15/100 seams high.

The 'cruiser forum talks about getting about 12L/100, but figures of 17/100 loaded on trips, or 15/100 in traffic.

Thirsty for a small car!

Which would then make it illegal in most states?

Sorry. Correct. DTS Mitsubushi

What are you doing reading Toyota

Cheers mate.

Am fitting an ARB front locker - is the solid pinion spacer a standard upgrade, or should I specify?

1HZ. KM travelled? You mean now, or what I am going to do? It has 100k, I do about 20k a year. Budget meh...not ultra tight, but not throwing cash around like a miner

Mechanical ability...I'm not doing much.....let's be honest

Great ..... thanks MJ

Nah had to be 105 or 4.2 Patrol....and people want insane money for Patrols

Ok... After many years, and several vehicles....I have left Land Rover land...no more Patrol....and for the first time have joined the Toyo land. With the new GU next year I think we are seeing the end of live axle non-commercial vehicles....so I have bought this with the aim to last up to ten yrs ...

He ideally needs one before next year

PM Bingham about his 05/06 3L and the hand grenade it turned into! :D Agree the Common Rail ones seams to have ironed out most issues - but still hear people having issues with the idler tension pully, esp post creek crossings. Would be interesting to talk to someone who works for Nissan about the ...

Question.......pardon my ignorance, are these still being made by MR?

Whats the scoop on this Ashcroft mob? If I buy a Puma, should I seriously consider an axle upgrade?

Would like to at least put a rear locker in - how does this effect with ETC?

Do you have any idea what it is, or why it is left over ...? ie. just replaced head, etc?

I did a front axel once- just drove around in 4x4 for about a week, but can't comment from a mechanical point of view if there are any lasting issues. But can't see any major reason what the issue would be...other than if you had a crash and the police investigated it.

My only bit of advice is if you don't know much about LR I'd recommend using someone who does - ie not KMart etc. Then again LR is generally very expensive (dealer) Landy's will go on and on if looked after - but cannot handle the punishment a 4.2 Cruiser or Patrol can take. They need regular ...

Well done mate. I would be stoked if I could get that. So other potential Disco members aren't disappointed, I've had a 3.5 Rangie and 2x 3.9 Discos, and have always averaged 18-20L/100 on ULP, and 20-22/100 on LPG. 16/100 was maybe for highway, easy on the right foot, etc. However, current Disco on ...

Diso. I have had three with LPG - and never an issue. Just tune for gas, and change the plugs as needed. D2 have a good rep - and the Td5 is great, esp if mated with the auto If you go for the disco - just ensure it's one that has been serviced regularly, best if by someone who knows LRs, and ...

Yeah mate, my thoughts are it coms down to comfort and ability I currently have a 95 Disco - and despite everything, it is a pleasure to drive The old man has had a couple of Defenders - the current one a Td5 - and there is nothing "comfortable" about it - unless you are a LR fanatic who lives in ...

Since we're talking about LPG, how much of a saga is it to get a system re-tested?

What sort of money is involved?

I saw some F series (or was it GMC) can't remember ex SA and WA for sale recently. Agree - they are very heavy for a caravan - I know the F250s were right on 4 tonne GVM. The Landcruiser 'modules' were prone to chassis cracking due to the weight and have a very poor departure angle, not to mention ...

Series one are getting a bit on the rare side, not to mention pricey. The last one I saw for sale was $20 000 (admit it was in PC)

S2 not suitable?

Hmmm... see 25/100 towing is pretty good - I used to get around 20L/100 towing in the 4.2TD. Would be nice to rent one for a few days to test --- anyone want to rent theirs to me ?? :lol: What about standard 4wd touring - I've heard of 50/100 in the sand or is that just extreme? :shock: Also ...

Yeah I did a 3" and regretted it - just too much drone.

I want to be able to drive what ever I come across when im out. I prefer mud and muddy hills but i still enjoy rocks and rock climbs. I enjoy every thing. That's what makes it a little hard the plan. Invest in driver training. Having all the toys in the world isn't going to help if you cannot ...

I second Vanbox- --- mods delete this thread on relevance ---

We know you're just going to gas it anyway

Now starts the test - can the common rail handle what no other Patrol in Bingham history has done - i.e, not blow up

Out of interest Swerve, what sort of economy are you getting. So hard to actually find someone able to give an accurate figure and not "I guess" or "a lot" There are a few threads existing on this, but again same deal. Have been thinking of a TB48 as don't like the ZD30, but not going to live with ...

Yeah Guru that is precisely my issue. What is there? Fork out $60k+ for a 'Cruiser and get something that has the same inside as a 1990 model ... buy a Defender for $48k and get the same as a 1960 ... or buy a Patrol for $52k but have to live with the ZD30 What's the major issues you've heard ...

why a new car is it for a business /tax

Dissapointing to hear. Yeah, business purposes I need to buy something pretty much new.

Will try aurlo, have been a member there for a while, but not active.

Hi team I have a question about the 2010/11 Defender. Basically - am thinking at the moment of buying a 2010 Defender, Cruiser, or 3.0/4.8 Patrol Each has it's obvious benefits and downfalls - what I want is a 2010 4.2 Patrol :x :x The old man has had a couple of Defenders, and at the moment I have ...
