2011 Toyota Landcruiser VX 4.6L petrol V8

Summary:

Big, brutal acceleration, velvet cover on iron fist strength and luxury

Faults:

Replaced suspension hydraulic globes x4 (maintenance), replaced windscreen wipers (maintenance), and replaced 2 tyres (maintenance).

PCS light pings on occasionally (pre-collision sensor).

NOTHING HAS GONE WRONG. Only maintenance.

General Comments:

Generally - no one expects anything to go wrong. And that seems to be the case.

This is a VX V8 4608cc petrol automatic. It make a discrete, powerful, "voom voom" noise that apparently V8 motors make.

It sprints away from traffic lights. and stops every 400km for fuel.

It is big, but easy to drive, easy to park.

Quite luxurious. Much nicer inside than the Landcruiser Prado it replaced.

1998 Toyota Landcruiser TZ 3.0 turbo intercooler diesel

Summary:

A very good performer

Faults:

Automatic transmission oil pan leak transmission oil due to leaky gasket. replaced free by dealer.

Air conditioner sometime do not work even when turn on. have to off then on again.

General Comments:

Very low fuel consumption for a 3.0 compared to my previous land cruiser LJ70. Engine performance is very good, lots of torque from 1800rpm Suspension is too soft and body roll is too much. Needs a set of stiffer springs and shocks.
