Very wise advice - and truly selfless.


Unless your post which was corrupt & pointless :-)

Possibly the worst engine Toyota have ever made. Stupidly underpowered
and with a penchant for cracking heads.

Awesome engine. Impressively powerful and extremely reliable. I
transplanted one into a Disco I last year for a mate of mine and the end
result is rather good.

Buy a Land Rover.


That's a nice helpful comment. Or are you suggesting that Land-Rovers
are sans faults? Mine certainly isn't, oooh, now where shall I start
....? lol

If you're a complete knobhead, support a marque without engaging your
brain. If you can't stand criticism, don't post your ****ing stupid ****
all over usenet.

Indeed you are. If you were stupid enough to be a bike fanboy as well as
a LR fanboy, you'd also be a brain dead cretin.

Oh, hang on.

in this group, we like LR products and live with the various faults. The
other 4x4 makers such as toyota and Isuzu and so forth have also produced
things with major problems, and in many cases (especially in the UK) the
parts and repairs cost a lot more.

and the comment about this being a fan group is a lot more valid than your
gratuitous abuse. cross-posting is never that good an idea at the best of
times.
