Hi Everyone,
Oldest son is looking at a 3lt TD surf with 155000ks.He has done a search on this site but I would like to hear of owners or exowners reports. I know this is the same motor as the 90 series Prado and they do crack cylinder heads. Thanks for your help.
Cheers Pete

There is a Surf website
check it out, cannot remember the link. They do have the head issues, throw a big radiator in them &
check the thermostat that it has been changed to suit Oz conditions. Parts can be an issue but the Surf website will help you here. $16 000 for a 1996 your joking, more like $13 000. The kms
well they have been known to whind them back. Ask if they have the original Japanese auction papers to verify Kms on it when left Japan. I know in 96 they changed shape aswell, panels will be an issue with the new shape. But the new shape also came with a centre diff lock - my 97 SSRG Surf had one. The ones with the bonnet scoop / intercooler are the best ones.
Cheers Beddo
