miles 227 Posted November 27, 2006 Report Share Posted November 27, 2006 Toyota Hi-Lux Surf 3ltr SSG.Had mime four years and given it plenty of stick,driven all round Europe,fens twice a week (450 mile round trip) not a fault Quote Link to post Share on other sites
IanB 0 Posted November 27, 2006 Report Share Posted November 27, 2006 miles there bombproof shame about the speed on the smaller engines though... If anyone buys a mitsu shogun/pajero, toyota hilux/surf, daihatsu fourtrak and you get a half decent example, look no further, they will get you anywhere with the right tyres and all are reliable workhorses.. the mitsu 2.5td engine has stood the test of time, it was used in the 91 shoguns not sure about even earlier and still used up until the 2005 model l200s I'm sure before the new shape and style of DI engine replaced it, its just keeps going.. ps most of the newer engines the last few years Direct-injection “common rail†diesel engines require really clean pump fuel..the benefits being quieter engine noise, improved power and economy and lower emissions...older diesel engines you just throw anything in though..
