Sat down the other day & thought to myself I would like to update to a newer model of the big two after having had mine for quiete some years. But after reading all the problems of Toyota front diff's, torsion bars, gearbox probs etc I ruled out a 100 Series. Then looked at the 80series, but they had nearly twice the K's as mine .Then looked at Nissan & instantly ruled out the 3ltr after reading about the EGR, MAF probs & the unknown of when you are about to be towed home. Then considered the later 4.2's, but was a little put off by all the problems of overheating that Roachie had. So that was the finish of my inspiration for going upmarket. Yes! you might ask what sort of vehicle does this bloke own to be not impressed with the current market. Well it's a 1983 60 Series Sahara 2H Diesel with aftermarket Turbo 5/speed (rustproofed from new) with origonal 255,000k's. The final thing that made up my mind was when a friend who runs a 4'by business said look how beautifull that engine runs, there's not a murmur in it, don't ever sell it as they don't make them like it anymore. Well I guess it's back to the rough ride, vague steering & my half torn uncomfortable drivers seat. Maybe next year oh reliable one, love is blind !
