[QUOTE="diggit, post: 451549, member: 3031"] I just picked up a 1999 Toyota Landcruiser that needs a bit of work. Now I rocked up to view the vehicle on the condition that it was dry with no leaks. It was a fair drive to view but upon inspection this cruiser clearly was leaking oil. I took it for a drive and the engine seemed good. Its dual fuel so I ran it on both gas and petrol for a bit. Both seemed to work fine. So I got him to knock a couple of grand off the price due to the leak and I took it home. I was under it today and in fairness it has more leaks than Wikileaks. I'm considering a couple options. 1. Get some major work done on the engine possibly a full rebuild, she has 300,000kms on her. Get the dual fuel system checked over and upgraded perhaps. 2. Selling it on...my personal favorite but the kids LOVE riding in this wagon and they want to go on a road trip in it. I'm in Melbournes Eastern suburbs but anywhere within a couple hundred kms is fine by me to get the work done. So I'm looking for help from anyone who has had engine work done on a landcruiser and can recommend someone who can do the work required for a reasonable amount. Or if someone on the forum is capable of doing such work? Engines a 1FZFE Thanks folks! [/QUOTE]
