Hey everyone,
Massive question here, im not a full on 4x4 driver and know stuff all about engine's. I got my 80 series cruiser (duel fuel) about 12 years ago to drive from melbourne to darwin but lifes issues got in the way. When i got my cruiser it had 180000km on it and everything was perfect.. untill i needed an entire top end rebuild costing me $6000 then i did the radiator on a public holiday $1300 then i hit 325000km needed another top end rebuild $7000. I dont understand because i do look after it. The fuel pump died a month ago and now the rear engine seal is dripping oil everywhere i park so thats more money. Ive put that much money into it that ill never get back so ill continue to fix all issues untill they stop. On Family holidays i dont like to drive it more than 350km cos i stress something else will go. What causes this to continuously happen when its regularly serviced and i dont give it a hard time. Its just a money pit. Has anyone else had these issues before?
Cheers guys..
