Re: Buying a 2.5 V6

Thanks, that's useful info.

It's an amazing truck and I will miss the Landcruiser but a 3-litre commercial-grade diesel engine is not the most refined lump!

Re: Buying a 2.5 V6

Thanks Geoff, It's only done 40,000 miles so it's clean as a whistle underneath and everywhere in fact! I will get it undersealed as the first job.
