I like that 80 series better, I'd like one of them one day, but with the cost of fuel, I doubt I could afford to run it.

not ridiculous compared to a well driven 2.4 but they can be pricey to fix!Originally posted by plumb bob View PostI like that 80 series better, I'd like one of them one day, but with the cost of fuel, I doubt I could afford to run it.Tim

No. surfs are "pricey" to fix, I reckon the Land Cruiser steps into a different bracket.Originally posted by dirtydog View Post
I guess it helps to be very handy with the spanners.Rob

My 80 is better on fuel than my 2.4 Surf was, between 26 and 28 average, as much as 30 on a run if you keep the speed down to 60.Originally posted by plumb bob View PostI like that 80 series better, I'd like one of them one day, but with the cost of fuel, I doubt I could afford to run it.
As far as cost of repair, only thing more expensive than a Surf is the engine, but bearing in mind that as long as you keep an eye on the Big End Bearings which were known to fail on 91 - 95 models (you can change them for about £80 - £90 and 4 hours work with the engin ein the car) the engine runs on for 300K miles no problem. Also sometimes the fuel pump has been known to leak and needs a rebuild which cost a few hundred. Injectors need an overhaul after 100- 150K miles which costs around £350.
The Suspension bushes wear out eventually but are cheap as chips, the diffs are solid and pretty unbreakable, and most other things on it are no more expensive than a Surf.
Just don't get it serviced at a main dealer.
My 80 has just gone over 200K miles (I've done 60K of them).Comment
