Station Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 Not sure why I bought this - was after a Shogun, but saw this and went and bought it on Friday.It's severely surplus to my needs, so will drive it to work for a week and then put it on ebay.£700 is cheap, you could get at least a grand on ebay. It has MOT until the end of December 2015!The speedo doesn't work, but I'll have a look at this today, it is always the speedo gear on the gearbox.Sump gasket needs replacing, it drips.A few bits of trim missing (a bit under the dashboard)Passenger side electric window doesn't work (it's the wiring on the driver's side - I've powered up the motor and it's fine). All the cons are stuff you could replace on a scrappy raid and a new sump gasket. I'll have a look on ebay for bits and might replace some of the things. I've fixed a load of stuff, the rear window wouldn't come down (meaning you couldn't open the tail gate), I've changed the thermostat and done the coolant today. Also replaced numerous bulbs in the dashboard.Other than that, it drives brilliantly, has just had the cambelt done and doesn't overheat. It warms up nicely and is really nice to drive. The seats are uber-comfy due to the height and are adjustable by about five knobs. Central locking works, it has a two button alarm fob which also works. Typical Toyota reliability. It has a sump guard, new exhaust, new batteries (2) and some other stuff. It's not that bad on fuel to be honest. I got 30 mpg over the weekend. No offers, swaps, 'GLWS' etc. Can meet someplace if you drop me off at the station. Would benefit to sell in Leamington Spa as that's where my other car is, or otherwise on the Wirral brickwall, eddyramrod and Jim Bell 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dollywobbler Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 I missed this in the other thread, if you said. 2.4 or 3.0? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeKnight Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 Utterly perfect for my business (looking for something with more towing power than the Xantia) but you've caught me with my pants down and an empty wallet. Fuck. Will keep a keen eye on this and if money comes in I will snap your hand off. Don't count on it though, sales are slow atm due to time of year. Noticed no tow bar fitted but assuming they're readily available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a 2.4 Noticed no tow bar fitted but assuming they're readily available. Yes, I think they just bolt on (the bracket is there from factory). There's a thing on the front for a winch as well.

Station Posted February 8, 2015 Author Share Posted February 8, 2015 OK, I asked for it, was expecting the banter. Broke a sensor while trying to find the speed sensor and now won't up shift out of the lowest gear, so will have to buy a new one from Toyota, will get a speed sensor thing as well.

dollywobbler Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 Sorry Station, it seems you've invoked the law of 'WHY SO MANY WATCHERS?' However, it genuinely does seem a bloody good buy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cavcraft Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Surely the natural environment for that was ten years ago being driven round a council estate by a baldy 40-something bloke with thermal tattoos and an angry looking blonde wife? r.welfare, Lacquer Peel and The Moog 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
