I need help to make some decisions. I am currently three hours away from my very rural home nursing a petrol/LPG 80 series that has turned very very poorly. The chap who looked at it said it needed a new engine. So what shall I do? I also have a diesel imported 80 series in the garage waiting...

It IS the Australian one :eusa-shhh:

Is there not a chance it is a 24v motor? (he says hoping against hope)

Thanks for the replies. The car is a VX limited, is that good? The oil sits between a third and a half, so i am happy with that. I have been out in it today through deep water and in driving rain, superb car, I love it. Only problem is the rear window seems to have dropped a few inches and...

Can the good people on this forum please explain a few of the differences between my home registered petrol (lpg) 80 and a diesel imported 80 I have just bought, The import had two batteries, and the LPG one has just the one. Is it 24v or is it the extra the equivalent of a leisure battery...

He who dares Rodders, he who dares :dance: I still don't know what I am going to do with it, I certainly don't need two, but where I live is a bit of a pain for LPG for my other one.

I love it. It's not perfect but it's far from manky. Drives like dream, with everything feeling tighter than my '95 petrol (200,000 miler) and the 168000 on the speedo is actually 168000 km's, so it's low mileage too. Tyres are like new, 12 months ticket, all the belts look brand new. Very...

Oh, while I am here, what is the script with the electric windows in these things. Rubbish, just rubbish. :eusa-snooty:

I love my LC so much I have just bought another, which I pick up tomorrow. It has a button in it saying "centre diff lock" and I am sure mine doesn't. The new one is a 93 import diesel, mine is a 95 domestic petrol. My present one has a rotating switch for front and rear diff locks, but I...

I couldn't resist :icon-biggrin:

I have no mods or anything planned, and I cannot see the cruiser going seriously off road, but I feel I needed a 4x4 where I am on a tiny Scottish island, so got a 4x4 that I had admired for a while. It drives lovely but the steering is a little vague between turning left and right and left...

Hi. Just a note to say thanks for having me, I have recently bought a '96 80 series LPG VX details of which are on the eBay board. I got a lot of help from members of this forum and I want to give thanks for that. I am picking it up tomorrow so I can officially be welcomed into the fold, but...

Hate to spoil your funs but the bollards are collapsible :( :twisted:

I asked him to have a look at the oil level, this is part of what he wrote: "I have recently checked and also had changed all the oils in rear, front diffs and transfer case so all ok, I did a full front knuckle service a few years after I bought the car and changed all the seals and gaskets...
