My 1992 Blue 2.4 Surf Sold
I finally had to part with my truck. After 3 years of total
enjoyment and apart from the large sums of money required
to continue our relationship,the truck was a joy to drive.
During our time together a new cylinder head cost with
parts and fitting £1400.
Replacement flywheel and clutch £800.
New exhaust pipe £300.
Four new tyres £360.
Regulator and motor for rear window £325.
New radiator £140.
Repair to original radiator £60.
Thermostats: various £40.
Turbo charger rubber pipe and bend £70 and £20.
Two new batteries £60.
New water pump and timing belt £120.
Tow bar £160.
Original purchase price £3500 + spare parts £3855 = £7355
Sale of truck £1250 net cost of £6105
Was it worth it? A definite yes. Now I am back to boringly
reliable vehicles.
The Hi-Lux Surf site gave me hope when I was in despair.
Information when non was available in manuals. Sharing
the pain and suffering really helped when frustration and
misery were all around.
Thank you administrators and thank you to all the members
who contribute to the pool of knowledge we all thankfully
draw from
May everyone involved have the Christmas or festival of
their dreams.
Regards
Oldone
PS the land cruiser will be mine in 2007
