sussex 5,803 Posted January 29, 2016 Report Share Posted January 29, 2016 nope sussex the rust comes for free and they will be replaced with stainless over the next few weeks. I dont need to be cured by a toyota it would only create another problem........ bordem By boredom do you mean constantly driving ? , that's what the motors designed for mate ...although I have say I do miss the excitement of being towed at high speed or chatting to the recovery driver as they rescue the Landie from its latest breakdown ..must remember to check the hilux hinges tomorrow for rust !!!!!!

Parabuteos lad 878 Posted January 29, 2016 Report Share Posted January 29, 2016 surely they could keep making them and design a newer engine to meet the emissions regulations? I don't think it's just that but also about crumple zones and air bags and stuff and as such needs to be re designed Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sussex 5,803 Posted January 29, 2016 Report Share Posted January 29, 2016 surely they could keep making them and design a newer engine to meet the emissions regulations?

But I'm allways under mine or under the bonnet checking and owt suspect I change and it's cheap. If it worked all the time I wouldent do that and enjoy it hence the Bordem. Must admit I been rescued once by the AA but apart from that it's been great over the years. Kind of a grown ups mechanic set. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
