Mo Murphy Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 Why oh why do they have to make them so lardy ? Laning in the Lake District Jim's Toyota thing wouldn't go through a tight squeeze that a 90 and a Discovery both breezed ! In the end we had to high lift it and winch it at the same time to get it's great arse around. Why don't Toyota take a leaf out of Land Rovers book and make smaller 4x4s ? it's not hard is it, small country small lanes. It's no good being easy to repair if you can't take it on any of our quaint l'il old english lanes. Give me a 90 with a broken timing belt anyday !

JJ did you do your alternator as well by any chance? going to have to look at some waterproofing in that area. To be fair GBMUDs TD5 110 didn't survive salisbury plain either!

Mo Murphy Posted January 2, 2008 Author Share Posted January 2, 2008 First lady I'd ever met that I had more hair than Why do I seem to be the angry person magnet on laning trips ? Anyway, perhaps I should go back, she had a lovely big farmhouse Mo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
