Head still going strong

[snowwolf]

Just thought I would pop back to the forum to see how all the surfs are going, I changed the head on my surf back in late November and sold it straight away to a mate of mine and it is still going as strong as ever, he loves it, wished I had kept it now, he has had no probs at all, I had had it for 15 months previous and never had one prob, only the head, which I changed myself, when I sold it I got a 1996 4.5 petrol land cruiser, which is a great car and love it to bits, but I still do miss the surf, to be honest I did prefere the drive of the surf compared to the land cruiser, suspension is not has choppy as athe LC.
But I must admit the power of the LC is great fun, but have to make a few more trips to the petrol station...LOL

Hi, you may as well stay, there are a few LC owners here now, down in the basement....



Good to hear the Surf is still OK, good job.

Yes I'm !!!!!! glad It's still going ok, nothing worse than selling a car to a mate and it goes wrong, but I did tell him to read all of the forum articles before he bought it LOL.

Got my LC a month or so ago, it's in the garage for a Fuel pump rebuild as I couldn't be bothered to do it myself. Got to agree about the ride however mine I think is due to the front springs being a bit compressed, aftermarket shocker on it that are so hard that I think they are actually welded together and the front anti roll bar bushes are shot. Mind you I do love it, the 4.2 engine is a peach, pulls like a train from idling speed as well.

Still I'm back to driving the Surf at the moment while the Cruiser is in the shop and I still think it's great - mind you I really have to sell it if anyone wants it for the supremely reasonable price of £3,999. (sorry couldn't resist an advert again).

New head and everything too.

Cheers
