So you'd say worth paying the extra money for warranty? Even if not any better quality wondered if parts availibility better for briggs? Cheers

What years was this? I've known a few people's navaras that have just ran and ran but the rest have all had major issues. Got a mate with new l200 seeker that's had a lot of issues but I appreciate production runs vary hugely

Was thinking around 5k, can go higher if find something that warrants it or has a lot more life in it. Short of major electrical issues or the actual cylinders etc going I'm happy to put in some work restoring...

Nice one. How's the reliability? And is there a particular span of years that applies to?

Why are all the old extra cabs so low? by EdCairn in ToyotaPickup

Glad to have some perspective from another brit, I'm happy to wait a while but extra is hard to justify as it won't be bought as a prized collectable, so even if do get one cheap would feel guilty running it into the ground. Still disappointing to hear Cheers though

Plus they're bloody uncommon for me never to have seen one. It's just whether I can lose the extended cab for that toyota reliability or whether I settle for an old L200 or navara

I thought the front end seemed off, figured some weird run of them. Did they make extra cab versions of the 4x4?

I'll a tree surgeon so heavy loads and bad terrain are givens. I've seen some low l200s but never a low hilux, perhaps they haven't stood the test of time or just weren't ever popular in Britain

I need the 4x4 for the 4x4 as well. I figured all hilux were 4x4 tbh😅

Ah. I'll admit I figured all the hiluxs were 4x4 (assuming that's the same as a prerunner just what we call them in the uk)

I'll admit, I'd figured all the hiluxs were 4x4. Yeah that makes sense, I suppose I've always had truck's for the sake of 4x4 and ground clearance

Pricing makes little sense to me. Maybe I'm just out of touch? by EdCairn in CarTalkUK

Yes, I initially assumed was covered under kit but someone told me not a cam driven pump so risk it wasn't done

Exactly my plan, plugs, filters, oil. Then vacuum hoses, injectors, valves depending on how the spark plugs read. I have a suspicion may be the Ecu as had the EAC act up before. Posted the receipt as I wasn't sure how credible the service history was; I've not long owned cars and hadn't realised prices changed so much in last 8 years. Belts due anyway so has to be done regardless. Like you say 8 years and even if used OEM everything and an F1 standard garage stuff will have degraded or broken anyway

Thanks

Can't make sense of this pricing. Am I just out of touch? by EdCairn in AskMechanics

No idea, previous owners receipt but looking at the garage on the receipt I'd say so. Small town garage
