toyota recovery

[pete8862]

This is my brother inlaws hilux, busted the clutch after 45th kl. I took great delight in towing him back to my place & then trailering him home. I did'nt sing the prases of Nissans at all (yer right)

nice work peter where were you headed?

[AlsHilux]

those new hilux models look like sh!t.. no on or off ramp clearance at all, dunno why they bothered to release it in 4wd.

..is that snorkel for bling?

but hey, go the toyotas and the nissans! let's all laugh at land rovers.

[faulked]

ive certainly rescued more toyotas than nissans when i was driving my landrover but thats because the nissans were to broken to bother towing when the army go to something other then landies you will know theres a new 4wd worth owning

jason

Always rivalry between car fans eh?

Good on ya for giving him a tow. I remember getting my brother in law out of bed to recover me in my Toyota when I blew a motor, he gave me heaps.

Mind you it was a holden motor!

[faulked]

no rivalry feral they are all jealous of the superior ride from those british master pieces :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

[Feral]

Correct me if I am wrong, but Ford own landrover now dont they? Also their engines come from jaguar. (A step down from the BMW engines!)

So its just another yank tank!

[brisbane_boy]

all this car stuff is confusing feral if wat u say is right then i got a mazda with a ford engine witch you say comes from jaguar. sweet european engine :) :) :) . LOL

Dont the Army use Toyota "troop carriers". I know they do down in Tassie.

I've heard of a couple of new luxs now that have destroyed clutchs ,and if the clutch shows any signs being riden toyota wont cover warnanty so best to use low range on ramp or when putting trailers in tricky positions where you might ride the clutch.Or get a patrolB)

Is it "John Deere" green?

Be interested to hear what you think of it, I've driven the turbo diesel X trail (Mac Truck), and the Landcruiser Turbo Diesel (truck from 500 to 1500, sports car from from 1500 to 4000, then the engine management shuts it down at 4000 just as its really starting to lift!)

hey kriso did you look at the mitsubishi forum before you decided on a paj. I don't want to be nasty but they seem to be having a lot of probs.

p.s. I currently own a new prado but I also used to love my nissan and my pajero as well.

[kriso]

nah red lol mate i used to work on them they go awesome.

[faulked]

we currently have an old 3 litre pajero great car but its sucking water and i think its stuffed the only drama we had with it i didnt like was the electronic switches on the gearbox died and boy they are dear they apperantly dont like salt water but other than that for the age of vehicle its a great car still not a landrover though

mate the car forums shit me, i used to work on these cars including this model for a mitsubishi dealer, the "forums" guys came in not having a clue what there going on about saying this and that was broken but in actual fact they didnt have a clue on how to use it. or something was wrong cause there new model did something diffrent to the one they owned 5 years ago.

[Feral]
