Just like it and its as clean as mine underneath. He claims same MPG as a Diesel?? Could test it at our forthcoming meet at Langdale.

Anyone back up this MPG claim? If so i will consider adding to the fleet.

If it can do 35 MPG on a motorway run, it would be like the
Holy Grail of Surf's.

Diesel for me all the way.....

[Koi]

MPG seems a bit enthusiastic to me and I couldn't live with that poor filler flap repair. At the end of the day your buying it so if you like it go for it.

[phoebelala]

I would not have parted with the kzn185 anyway. So 2 surfs in the household would not be too well recieved by mrs phoebelala!

[AndyLala]

nice fix on the filler cap door! , a few rpelaced bits underneath... (hand brake) and a few Lucida's in his back garden... dealer...? Import, service, clean, sell....

[Chillitt]

is it me or is that an odd engine layout for a surf? high low lever looks different too...

[laser_jock@work]

Underpowered? A 3.0L TD would pull the 3.0L petrol along backwards!

Someone teach this guy the difference between power and TORQUE!

130bhp / 343Nm@2000rpm on the 1KZTE vs 185bhp / 256Nm@4600rpm on the 3VZ-FE.

Are Petrol Surfs cheaper than Diesels then? To buy I mean.

Dont believe his mileage claims, Cheeky sod! mine dont sound like a tractor,
Whats going on with the filler cap door, Mind you hes taken a hell of a lot of pics and he's show'n the bad bits as well, If i was going for petrol it would be a V8 and i'd have to be rich, Think i'll keep the one i've got thanks

[TonyN]

hehe, why do these people on ebay set themselves up to be abused?

Even the 2.4 isn't noise if a little underpowered, but the 3.0 isn't either. You can get 30+mpg, I've done it my old V6, but that was at 65 all day on the motorway, round town is about 19mpg unless you drive without pressing the throttle.

Definatly looks like a dealer to me.

A V6 should be whole bunch cheaper than that.

Whoever asked about the shifters, all the auto V6 Surfs have that arrangment of the levers.

He could have posted a few more pics!
