2002 Toyota Landcruiser HZJ 79 review from Australia and New Zealand
"Leave this car in the junk yard where it belongs!!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
On the way home the day I bought the car I hit a small kangaroo and put a huge dent in the bull bar.
I needed a new clutch after 10 000 km.
One of the headlight bulbs blew a week after I got the car.
The sump was leaking oil after 20 000 km.
It couldn't get out of fourth gear pulling a 2 horse float with a strong tail wind.
The fuel pump stopped working six months after I bought the car.
General comments?
I have had continuous trouble with the car since the day I purchased it.
It didn't have the power I expected a turbo to have, and struggles pulling dead cattle.
I would never buy a Toyota again.
It just doesn't perform like my Nissan used to.
