Hmmm we had a couple of LC100DX's at work, and be stuff if I know how a 1HZ could damage anything, its not like it actually did anything, but they would drop 5th gear in them despite this.Originally Posted by rovercare
Toyota do lots of strange things, the 78/79 1HZ versions had a different (weaker) 5 speed than the factory turbo's, the Tx case is proven regardless, but there was alot of issues with failures in the N/A 1HZ version in regards to the gearbag, the factory turbo, doesn;t seem to suffer the same fate, bizarre Tojo stuff...........but then, I could start on Land rovers backwards steps
I do like the TDV8 and have also been very impressed by it. I think a 76 wagon on LC100 axles would be a good tourer. People will also work out how to run better gearboxes into them before long if they haven't already.

Of all vehicles on the market, the Defender is the one that goes back the furthest.

Major part of the heart and soul of AULRO.comOnly because LR don't accept responsibility. How many 4.6 V8 engines have had problems but LR don't replace them as they usually failed out of warranty.yes but being 4 cyl ones LRau has only replaced half as many! so we are still better than toymota

I spent a week in a new LC ute recently. When I first got in, I was shocked that the interior hasn't changed since 1985.
The ride has barely improved since then as well.
The new engine certainly has plenty of torque - right across the rev range.
Where I was only had a fleet of two V8s - and about 10 6 cylinders.
No issues with the two they had - however I only got to chat to the users of the vehicles, not the service crew. They were used in fairly rugged conditions on a daily basis though.
I bet nobody can tell me what the gear on the back is for?

The marketing.
The difference is LR don't claim that it is an all new model.
The defender has failed to progress, Toyota have actually gone backwards.
Toyota resurected a model they had stopped making.
I think Toyota are making the mistake LR made; resting on their laurels. Relying on reputation meanwhile the others were inovating and making better 4x4s.

Detonation control?

What makes you say all of this? To be fair, I don't see how they've done anything different to Land Rover with the Defender.The difference is LR don't claim that it is an all new model.

Flux capacitor?
My guess is it's utilised to monitor and measure stuff.
