Lemon or not

hi , just read thru this thread and maybe i missed it , but have you changed your fuel filter . also some carby's have a small screen filter where the fuel line attaches to the carby . next i would clean the carby as it does sound like a fuel problem .

s you recon keep it?

I would....car looks great to me and to a lot of others here too.

You are never going to buy a car that has no issues ever...it doesn't happen,

and who is to say that if you get another car, that it won't have problems to fix as well.

I will also add, that Patrols generally have less issues than other vehicles, so once you fix the current little bits and pieces you should be good to go

Amen to that.. father inlaw is a toyo man.
I'm a nissan...
My gq has racked up 497500k's.. had new injectors at 250 thou, water pump around then and New suspension about 10thou ago.
His 80 series has just hit 200 thou (which I'm surprised at), he's changed
Diffs, front and rear
Clutch x3
Cv's
Steering pump
Water pump
Brake cylinders
Uni's
Hubs
Bearings
And that's the stuff I've helped him with in the last 5 years... :what:

And to make things worse, his is a dual fuel 4.5ltr, and my ragged old td42 still keeps with him...

You can't knock nissans... Well I can't..

Have you got a decent one to swap?

I think you need a new garage and mechanic more than a new vehicle!
