1984 Toyota Landcruiser HJ60 from Australia and New Zealand - Comments

"It's still a landcruiser!"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

After 500km it appeared that cooling water leaked to the motor oil through a damaged engine head. Then we found out the rest of the engine was broken too, and I am facing repair costs of $3000 - $6000.

Small leakage in front diff.

General comments?

Bought the car because of its famous 'landcruiser' durability. I am disapointed the motor broke down so quickly, but I still intend to have it repaired.

Land cruiser Modle No.HJ60 make 1987 is really a nice car. The problem is the loud engine sound comes inside the car thus making very noisy environment inside the car. The other problem is it trembles a lot while travelling. Is there any solution for the aforesaid problem? If any how can I get your valuable suggetion please.

Do not forget that the Land Cruiser is a 1984 model. If you had bought it brand new and maintained it regularly all the problems that you faced would not have come to haunt you.

Firstly, your car is not new. How have previous owners maintained, used or abused the car? You don't know probably.

Secondly, a $10 piece of rubber cooling hose that leaks can completely destroy a engine worth thousands.

Do not blame your cruiser. They are very, very well made pieces of machinery.

The LAND CRUISER 4WD is not running enough, it is a weak power in the motor, We have to buy the motor in one day.
