Long story, you gotta do some homework en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Land_Rover_engines

Nice to see the old thread up, hows the little monster keeping? I'm sure you'd have something to share with us on this after all these years...

Thanks mate, already managed to source one( hard copy) from a toyota dealer,

anyone..?

Td5s started rolling off in 1998, Pumas came out in 2007

Hi friends, please kindly chuck in a link if you have the factory users manual for the Toyota Hilux YOM 2005 onwards, could not source it on the net.. Thank you

I'd Suggest a 110, more space, utility, and resale value..

Yea something like that could go from 2.5 mil to even 4.0mil that also if ranged from a 200Tdi to a 300tdi (1995s are likely to be 300tdi) I was referring to the soft top, hard top, county station wagon, XS, Ex-military trims.. Most chances are vehicles from these years have been upgraded with newer parts, depends on what you find..

Runs between 1.8 to 5.0 mil AFAIK, a puma who cost close to 5mil, but there were battered up old 110s for 1.5 also.. Depends on the spec, YOM, engine, reg no., options, body trim etc

It'll be better if you can find a set of bumpers that came originally coloured and then colour match it to your vehicle.. this is because the prepainted bumpers are covered in a special primer in the factory itself, therefore the paint tends to hold on to it better than the normal bumper. If you just colour your normal bumpers, with day to day running and vibrations the paint will crack and weather away in no time...

Speaking of hybrids and sales, i've been seeing this for quite a while, in a particular part of the island.. Mind you I will not disclose the location of the vehicle as it will be an advert.. AFAIK its a mugen tuned version

Thanks for the replies people, I had quite a confusion there.. I guess that query is solved..

Ok so the 4DR5 is a high powered industrial engine is it? High compression or whatever.. btw what is the requirement of a high current in the system in a dual purpose vehicle such as a Hilux or a Hiace?

Thanks for the reply mate, I myself have been confused with the series - parallel thing, its been a long time since I heard/read them the last time lol, anyway so I guess the HILUX and others require a greater current for some reason, opposed to the 4DR5s which require a greater voltage.. Maybe someone with more expertise will shed some light into this..

anyone?

Just wanted to ask auto electrical experts in the forum, why is a series circuit of 2x12volt batteries used the in hilux? almost all models.. why the extra battery? even in a stock vehicle? And from the 4DR5 owners; why is it used it in parallel for a whopping 24v? Is the engine that heavy to yank in using a 24v motor? Thanks..

Always welcome mate, feel free to ask us anything. on landys of course good luck

btw thanks for patching it up mini, 2 heads r better than one..

Yea all come as AWD by default, but there are aftermarket hubs that you can use to modify this feature, but you'll have to get off the vehicle and chuck them in when needed... but as far as I know there are no issues with the AWD system.. Improves handling and doesn't have much impact on fuel, but of course there's no 2WD defender to compare it to..

Well when it comes to LR ownership, within a short time u'll endup being a enthusiast, fan, expert, mechanic, electrician,DIYist, "divorced" and whatever you may call it.. Anyways I feel you are not on a clear impression on the whole thing.. Back in the 70's and until 86, old land rover series 3s came in, these had a leaf sprung suspension and crude dash, 2.25L diesel + most body panels were different, However they can be fiddled with to make a defender look alike these came in no.s like 28 SRI, 31 SRI, etc some even came as 32 the LAND ROVER 90s (not Defender) started off in 84, and the 90's came out in 86, these had coil springs, 2.5l diesel (12J), 5fwd box, AWD,and panels are the same as a defender, In 1991, they were renamed "defender" 90 or 110, to avoid confusion with other newer land rover models Then they kept on upgrading the trim, engines(200tdi onwards) etc till now, So what you need to worry is not about it being a Defender 90 or a LR90 just make sure its not a crappy convert(Frankenstein) of a Series 3, with some other reg book etc.. But mind you in most of the LR90 reg books from the auctions its mentioned as either LAND ROVER simply or LAND ROVER 90/110 But you can confirm this by the chassis no, starts with SALLD XXX XXX 123456 the LD is seen only for 90/110 and defenders.. In terms of performance I feel there is very little difference between a souped up 90 and a real defender 90, because either way they are noisy, big, and poorly trimmed, except for the ones from YOM2007 onwards..

The best chances are that you are gonna find old 90s restored to Defender spec (I am not talking about old series landys) , from the 32- era from police auctions.. basically its just a name change.. Well you are certainly looking above 1.9mil for a 90, if you are lucky to find a real defender 90 from the 1990's it'll hit somewhere close to 3.0mil due to the YOM, it would be a 65- or above as far as I know.. btw why are you emphasizing on it being "badged" a defender they are all the same except for the engine and a few bits..

Are you intending to swap em in a hybrid variant?

Yea cheers to the green oval Yea, sorry i couldnt update on that, She's staying.. Couldn't let her go..

What is da vehicle?
