You say this and like our quality built LR`s

If you do go this route, try and get the later BA/BF or FG with the six speed ZF.

Then there was something wrong with it. My wife's BA Fairmont eats Klugers.

In all fairness the Kluger was a rental

Just sayin... the 1UZFE has the starter motor in the valley under the intake manifold. Not a simple job to replace.

But I would have no issues rolling in a JDM Celsior or even better the V12 Toyota Century. Yakuza style.

Sigh.

Totally understandable.

.

Also needs expensive timing belt replacement every 100 000km. But a great engine nonetheless (as is the 2UZ).

I think the XL and EL Falcons were the most beautiful vehicles ever made in Australia. I wish I could have my EL back.
