ok guys, here are some pics and info on the cruiser am looking at. please post any comments or suggestions:
Make: Toyota
Model: Landcruiser
Badge: Other
Year: 1985
Body: 4WD
Price: $8,000
Color: Red
Kms: 198,000
Transmission: Manual
Reg NO: CF1991
VIN: 0731329
Features:
Power Steering, Towbar, CD Player, Central Locking Remote,
Roadworthy certificate
Comments:
MWB, BJ73 (Diesel), Bullbar, Driving lights, Fog lights,CD
Stacker
from the seller:
I bought the car in May 2000 since then I have done:
New clutch master cylinder
All axle bearings and seals replaced
New tyres 20,000 km ago
New front brake rotors
Drum machining and pad replacement as necessary
New voltage regulator
New battery
New fuel pump, injectors and glow plugs 18 months ago, good for at least 100,000 km
New poly bushes in leaf springs
New CD player with six stacker under back seat
Remote central locking
Cibie driving lights, Hella non sealed beam conversion, and Narva fog lights
I have also been treating her to Penrite HPR Diesel oil every 10,000 km's or six months
She has only done about 28,000 km's since I bought her. For work I need to have her road-worthy'd every two years. So aside from me keeping her fluids changed and checked, that has been her servicing. Aside from that anything that has needed doing as it came up. Not a lot really, tyres, and injector and pump spring to mind.
Very few of the km's have been off road. We worked in Alice Springs and Eastern Victoria for about 6 months and did a little bit of track driving, very little requiring 4WD. A lot of her driving has been up to the Ski fields, most of which is sealed now.
All the photos I have on the computer at the moment are the ones already in the ad. I can take some more if you need anything specific.
Mechanically she is great, everything works as it should, the paint job is not the best I have seen, but not bad enough to warrant me respraying her, just a few chips and things. She is totally rust free, never done any salt water driving.
The is a short list of minor probs that I never got around to attending to:
The Tachometer is temperamental
The fuel and temp gauge has an interesting little fault, occasionally both needles go off the scale
Both these faults I can attribute to the instrument cluster, and since it is all one piece, odo and speedo included, I have not replaced it.
One of the rims is a different style to the other three, only slightly, and it was a few months after I bought it that I noticed this, that is how similar they are.
The cable that switches from fresh air to recirculated has broken at the lever.
I am not selling her with air-con because she does not have it. But all the hardware is under the bonnet, it has just never worked. I do not like air-con so I never bothered to get it seen too.
I use to work out and about in places where she was necessary, but am now based in Melbourne, and live within a train ride of work.
She is riding on 31 X 10.5 X 15 's Yokohama Super Diggers to be precise, just on $900 worth in January last year.
There is an LX badge on the back, I can tell you that, but I think the previous owner changed a few things cosmetically. I can tell you the car is carpeted throughout, the seats are the later fabric suspension type. It does not have electric windows. There are no headrests on the back seat. She is leaf sprung all round. She has had a later model transfer case installed too, the floor shift shifts from high range to low range, and there is a button on the dash to shift pneumatically between H2 and H4, manual hub locks of course.
Yes it is a normally aspirated 3B, a 3.4 litre 4 cylinder, that's some big pistons! It will climb trees, but will not win any drag races.
sorry it it so long
, thought easier put all this in one spot.
Cheers
