Upgraded V8 79 series

Pajero DPF problems were from 10 years ago weren't they?

Changed mid 2016 along with extra safety
Specs stronger chassis better seats and so on . probably the only down point is the dpf and about 5 grand more expensive .

I got a DPF 200 and can't see any real downside. I was worried about the potential to start fires but that doesn't seem to be a problem if you keep under 60 when a DPF burn is necessary.

My DPF 200 gets better economy and more power than the old non DPF one.

I think its a bit of a non issue.

Yep it probably is not a problem , I was just wondering if some potential buyers were a bit wary of the dpf .
The landcruisers in this particular yard don't normally hang around long .

Cheers

You never know. If I get a big $5000 bill from Toyota for the DPF replacement in 3 - 4 years then I'll be bitchin....

as far as wa goes if it is silver ,white or charcoal it sells unbelievably fast and especially as we approach summer when shopping around for my 76 we were waiting for the right price and car, we found about 3 so we went around that saturday to check them out. 2 sold that day and 1 sold about 15 mins before we could put a deposit on it in Monday should you have a blue one a maroon one or a gold one it will sit for a month or two as i noticed at our local dealer where there is a gold one sitting whilst all the other are shifting very fast.

as far a WA sales go if it is white,silver or charcoal it will sell and sell fast and if you are looking at a GXL coming up to summer you better jump on the best one you find coz it aint gonna last long.

as far as the dpf goes probably 60 percent of landcruisers have had their cat deleted woth a new exhaust probably even more if im honest my uncle owns an exhuast shop and very rarely the owner wants to replace the cat and deleting the DPF doesnt cost heaps more so i dont think that it is a big factor at least in wa anyway

Boobook,

The new gearbox, think it is an H152?, has a higher 2nd gear & 5th gear. Don't know how much better 2nd gear is but 5th sits about 2100 rpm @ 110 kph. The big plus seems to be improved economy on the highway, with reports of 2.5-3L/100 less fuel burn.

Few blokes have bought the new box for pre-2016 models for around $3K, and sold the old box for whatever they can get, say $1500-$2K. Another alternative is to purchase the Terrain Tamer 5th gear shaft and have it fitted. Similar specs as Toyota unit, about 20% drop in revs.
