So, is it all sorted now?
Maybe a bad connection somewhere that got a bump?

Re: Y60 Rear Bumper and corner chop
Interesting idea to put the spare wheel back to front.

Re: New 76 series
Those are good consumption figures
That electric arial is a big plus.

Re: New 76 series
Interresting topic. A couple of months ago I would have reacted differently........ I love the DC land Cruiser V8, lovely 4X4 :blonde: I am however not convinced that the 2.8 will be as good as the older V8s, but that is just me. Would I trade my two Patrols for it, NO!!! Would I get a DC Cruiser, ...

Re: New 76 series
Off topic but regarding that 1m km limit. I know the new Chery range offers this. No-one will ever drive a modern Chinese vehicle to that point, and maintain the service history which I am sure is a condition to the warranty. It will be flogged at 250k max. Modern cars are treated as disposable. And...

Re: New 76 series
I don't know what happens under 1200rpm, but at that RPM it has a hell of a lot of torque! Probably 3 times as much as my TD42. But most of my wheeling is done at 6-800rpm, and it's quite possible that the Toy's turbo is also not working yet at that RPM. In terms of durability, temperature is the k...

Re: New 76 series
Toyota don't "squeeze the max out of" anything. Yes, granted, but "squeezing the max" is a relative term. What I mean by it, is that a chip can doom it, whereas it may do nothing on an otherwise overdesigned engine. It is squeezed out to the max within their safety parameters. I...

Re: New 76 series
Correct on the Chip part. As for 500ppm sulpher you really need to research and read a little more on that. It does not do damage to any engine directly, BUT you will have to revert back to much shorter service intervals as the oil will build up sulpher which over time is damaging. If you ringfence...

Re: New 76 series
I'd also like to see what it does in terms of longevity. I am a big fan of the old adage: "there is no replacement for displacement" - especially so on big, heavy vehicles. Same here. They did squeeze everything they can out of that 2.8. Most of them will be used for drives to office, mal...

Re: New 76 series
People say the 2.8 drives away from the V8. That might be so when towing up a hill But I would like to see what it does on rocks. Does it labour the clutch or does it ease over the rocks like a big in-line six? And similar for deep soft sand, does it hunt on the auto (or require you to rev up to mak...
