I am a relatively new member, have been joined up for a long time but only a couple of posts. Auckland and Northland, New Zealand.
Have had two 1991 manual non-turbo Patrol/Safari both done around 400,000 kms, and now onto a 1995 Japanese import Safari.
I love these wagons, but we have had real problems with transmissions on all of them. Towing horses, timber and metal from the local quarry up and down almost vertical road and driveway with tight u-turn at the top, which I assume is what chews up the internals. I've suggested to madam we go over to a T-34 tank, but she's still chewing on that one.
Really appreciate the feedback on my occasional posts, thank you members.
