which 4x4 ?

[gazterrano]

i recently sold my terrano considering another but unsure at mo, really loved my toyota which was the 3.0 surf auto if the mpg was better than 20 i would have kept it ,friend of mine repairs land/range rovers & he always has his ramps full & yes oil leaks come as standard so pass i found the t2 2,7 under powered compared to the surf but the surfs are getting dated now ,budget around 5 grand

Nissan Patrol simples
Y61 for that money

Terrano has plenty of go tbh mate, few little tweaks and it can have more to no ill effect

2.7tdi T2 you know it makes sense

 

[stinka]

Actually yes, with that budget I'd get a y61 swb

loved the t2 driving position & leather etc mine had done 90,000 but as i say found it rather lazy , my 3.0 used to pin me in seats at the dab of the throttle ,think my t2 would need some serious tuning to match it

Rumors are just that mate. Ballocks.
SWB Y61 live axles,diff lock rear,coils, discs all round , loads of room for 37s before any body trim. Early 3.0 had probs I believe but don't buy them you want a 2.8 or 4.2 :sly Most reliable truck in the bush, fact :clap

Just checkout ANY aus offroad site you like :thumbs

Seconded................

 

[zippy656]

Is the 2.8 a veggie burner? Like the T2 2.7?

 

[stinka]

If its a Bosch pump, then yes

 

[Fraccie]

no idea mate,mine runs on straight diesel.

My initial impressions of a 2.8 Y61:

MPG is similar to my old 4Runner, dunno exactly, but if it is a major concern, don`t buy one.

Very comfy to drive on the road

Good off road without mods.

Huge, great for getting people and stuff in, PITA to park down the local Supermarket.

Check under the plastic wheel arch trim, water and mud trap with the associated problems that can cause.

Fairly easy to work on. N/S head light bulb is a bitch to change.

All in all, cracking truck ,well made and very comfy.

Coolies will have to keep an eye out

I recently bought an 05 plate 2.9 diesel auto Terracan for less than your budget. Merc lump goes like stink .good fuel, full leather ,climate etc. If you can live with the badge you will get a lot of car for your 5k
