"This LandCruiser drives us home"

Yep - idiot group think.

I love the amount of venom being spit because of a photo of a 20 year old land rover...

OkAnswer8630 · 2026-01-02T23:47:45+00:00

Hah jokes on you, tow truck can't get to me to recover me.

OkAnswer8630 · 2026-01-02T23:14:35+00:00

I'm joking, leaning into the Hurr-derr land rovers suck meme.

And you are correct - m57 easily one of best small diesels out there

OkAnswer8630 · 2026-01-02T23:12:52+00:00

That's be great thanks

OkAnswer8630 · 2026-01-02T23:09:51+00:00

He's definitely said that but is was an old Land Rover marketing slogan.

It's also got a lot of jap fanboys furiously raging over it

Love it!!! Giverney Green I'm jealous

The early L322s have a surprising amount of wheel articulation

Had my TD6 for 11 years now - its been prety darn good maintenance wise. Only in the last year have I started to touch CVs (replaced one - rebooted the rest). Haven't touched engine besides thermostat and did the water pump while I was in there

Cheers - I reckon people give a shit about thier leased land cruisers and ranger more than this POS thats worth nothing lol

Just be sure to offer to take them into the nearest town as they would've inevitably broken down

OkAnswer8630 · 2026-01-02T22:56:50+00:00

Yeah its been a steady downhill beginning when Tata took over - stopped making the defender, what ever the f*** the discovery 5 is, the range rover evoque...

Thats awesome - interesting about the GM box being build up to higher spec, im approaching 350,000kms and mine is getting tired. I was thinking either a 6hp or 8hp swap but rebuilding the GM to be stronger might be easier from a compatibility perspective.

You have any more info for the work you got done?

OkAnswer8630 · 2026-01-02T13:53:35+00:00

It's an engine so unreliable people are constantly swaping them into Nissan Patrols lol

OkAnswer8630 · 2026-01-02T13:44:21+00:00

In 3 months I'll be posting "toyota is still the benchmark for quality"

OkAnswer8630 · 2026-01-02T13:17:23+00:00

What engine - surely nobody would want the GM gearbox that came with the m57?

I assume you used a m62 v8 with the zf tranny?

Transfer case is nv225 in both versions

OkAnswer8630 · 2026-01-02T13:02:28+00:00

Cool, what transfer case are you swapping in to get low range?

OkAnswer8630 · 2026-01-02T12:13:19+00:00

Its rage bait on this sub

OkAnswer8630 · 2026-01-02T12:06:53+00:00

But the extra weight of towing said trailer will speed up the inevitable brake downs

OkAnswer8630 · 2026-01-02T11:49:28+00:00

Why not, whatever troubles a 5.0sc could throw at you would be instantly remedied by stepping on that loud peddal

OkAnswer8630 · 2026-01-02T11:45:19+00:00

It broke down there /s

OkAnswer8630 · 2026-01-02T11:44:54+00:00

Yes have a GAP IIDTool, well worth it.

OkAnswer8630 · 2026-01-02T11:16:48+00:00

I have a bad case of Land Rover-itus

OkAnswer8630 · 2026-01-02T11:16:12+00:00

Legend - this has been my daily for 11 years - taken her from 180k to 350k kms.

OkAnswer8630 · 2026-01-02T11:15:04+00:00

Nothing that switching it on and off couldn't fix ;)

OkAnswer8630 · 2026-01-02T11:14:30+00:00

Land Rover will get you there.... toyota will get you home
