    HiLux not unbreakable

    See the thread on 4WD Monthly Forum

    http://www.4wdmonthly.com.au/forum/index.p...y;threadid=9481

    I liked this one. Think about ot:

    "keep the services up to it and the 2.8 3L diesel is bombproof! ours has just clocked up 300,000kms and its only had the head off and overhauled cos the head gasket blew- ......

    Our earthmover has a 2.8D that has done 490,000kms, and was rebuilt @ 400,000.... only to find a SPARE main bearing shell in the sump! still had all the bearing shells, plus another one from the factory!

    G'day i have a mate who owns a Hi-lux it is an 83 model now he always likes telling everyone how good it is and it's older than my 110 County by about 11 months (County is a Nov 84, and is still all original and 450,000k's, no RUST!!!!) now he is always saying it has done over 500,000k's 8O that is true :? but it has had 3 engines, 2 gearboxes, rear diff, numerous windscreens, :roll: :roll: panels replaced because of rust i.e. bonnet, both front gaurds, rear tray. The rear tray is aluminium now and I like reminding him it doesn't matter how much aluminium you put on it, it will not turn into a Landrover :wink: :wink: cheers Dennis
