1985 Toyota Bundera LX review from Australia and New Zealand
"Tough, but this particular one was unfortunately unreliable"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Engine burning oil
Numerous carburettor problems
Brake master cylinder did its seals
Front brake calipers broke bolts and didn't work effectively
Leaky windscreen
Leaky transfer box
Gearbox developing bad whining noise
Rust developing under drivers side floor, in gutters, in roof, below brake booster reservoir and several other places
Drivers side window actuator dropped a few teeth and would slip when winding up.
General comments?
Tough construction!
Thirsty on fuel - approx 17L/100km regardless of driving style or conditions
Surprisingly large cargo area when packed properly
Can go pretty much anywhere the big boys can go!
