Hi guys,
I'm on the look out for a 2nd gen 2.4L diesel for around £1500. I'm taking part in a charity 'rally' to Mongolia this summer (a 10 000 mile trip from London via lots of interesting countries and more interesting terrain) and will be auctioning off the car when I get there. (www.fitforpurpose.tk for more info on that!)I'd ideally want to get there in one piece with as few breakdowns as possible!
As this is for charity and we're buying the car and getting there out of pocket, we really can't stretch the budget much unfortunately. I've been told to look for another vehicle, as I'm unlikely to find a working Hilux that will get us there for that price, but this would be the ideal car for us...
Also, I'm a bit of a novice when it comes to Hiluxes, but I've noticed that the head needs replacing or repairing after a certain point- what sort of mileage car should I be looking for in order to avoid head problems? I'd rather not get a car with a dodgy head and then pay another grand or so to get it fixed...
I hope I don't sounds like too much of a n00b- please be nice
