I bought one of these 6 year ago but never got to drive it more than 5 mile as some twat in a artic pulled out of a junction an took the passenger side out after 1 day of owning it. I know toyota's are reliable enough but do these suffer with any niggles I should be aware of cus I wanna buy another one. the 4.2 diesel i'm talking about by the way. sadly because of the last one jane didn't want another at the time so we bought somat else with the insurance money but now she does

 

dunno if there any good, but its ugly ass fuck? and the interior looks pretty shite as well really?

 

some people's ugly is another persons fit as fuck.. I think they are nice looking. and well spec'd inside really. a sangyong rodeo, now thats ugly. lol

 

your lucky you only got to dive it that far. you'd have run out of fuel otherwise.
they are, simply put, the most uneconomical vehicles i've ever known. a friend had one for two weeks, and he put nearly 300 quids of fuel into it. there wasn't anything wrong with it either, they're just unbelievable.

my dads old petrol rangey did £100 a week. that was only about 90 miles aswell but the landcruiser was in a different league and a diesel aswell. steer clear unless you've got deep pockets.

 

totally agree lol!

 

mmm.. in my job I get to drive greedy cars.. range rover sport supercharged springs to mind. fuckin well nice but it felt like ya drove it into the petrol station filled it up and drove out and back in again to fill up. even the merc s63 amg wasn't as bad as the r/r sport

 

total agree with orionmojo bloke down my street got one greedy as fook on fuel so he drives his pajero most days, my mate own a 4x4 garage and he says they also suffer from big end probs quite common

 

.. edit.

 

maybe I wont bother with one then.. I put 30 quid of diesel in mine then it died. so never got to look into fuel consumpsion

 

I agree , my old 2.5 td disco wasnt what you would call economical , that things gonna be terrible imo......

 

i know what you mean about the fit vs ugly thing, its not preety but i can see the attraction i think

colours nearly the same as the granada though so theyll sort of match

 

lol.. nice dig.. daft bugger

 

the gx is ment to be better if i remember

 

I say that because I was looking into them quite bad, but it was some time ago, think the gx is better is cause it has better/less complicated suspension

 

they are more economical than shoguns if you havn't got a lead foot

 

is it a normal land cruiser or is it a lc amazon.

 

a 4.2 diesel full time 4x4 jobby

 

You can fit free wheeling hubs to make it 2 wheel drive ie manual hubs from another toyota.

Un breakable jeep I'm in oz and a 4.2td with over 500k km's is still worth good money over here.

Depends if you need a tough wagon though the reason they are popular here is they cope with the terrain. You can get much more comfortable and economical cars if you're not going off road

 

I just really like them mate. what miles per gallon do you get out of it

 

the bollocks of a car doe's 22 mpg and are not as common as the cock extension range rovers that look like a box on wheels just my opinion

 

Perfect vehicle for pikeys

 

yeah I agree, an I know one that has one. lol. a gold one that looks like its been round the world 1000 times, but it still goes on and on

 

your opinion is well accepted my friend. I had the displeasure of driving a range rover supercharged from london to home, 110 miles, 60 quid in fuel

 

Btw petrols are awful on fuel-14mpg on an auto. Diesel prob 20 ishmpg depends what you use it for though

 

well I want a manual diesel, the misses hates auto's with a passion. and to be fair like someone else said, I had a pajero 2.5 diesel auto in 2005 and it only did low 20's on mpg

 

I love em myself,tough looking big bastards too!!!I'm driving a jeep Cherokee at the moment and thank fuck it's LPG as I'd be bankrupt otherwise by now,but there a nice old tool.I think 22mpg is very optimistic though as I get about 28 out of my merc ml cdi which are considered to be reasonably economical.totally agree about pajero autos,I had a manual convertible one myself(gutted I sold that) which had been fettled in japan and went like fuck yet was much better on fuel than the auto one.

 

i too love them, cos of how capable they are and love the sound they make.

but have never owned one so dunno about fuel consumption? if its as bad as above, then i'll stick to my v8 rr thanks!

 

Iirc there's one model landcruiser that's the least environmentally friendly vehicle on the road,which is strangely appealing!!!

 

The parts will be a fortune.

 

Get a Hilux!!!

 

Some years back my bro had the amazon, loved it, put a lot of miles on it, it was his company car(his own company), so everything bill wise was logged, he is a bit of a heavy foot person and averaged from memory 12-14mpg, was well comfy though and quick for what it was I thought.
