@Snowy Thanks mate, I meant to be having a look today, and will take notice of rust etc, fella I getting it off says there is a smidgen of surface rust, etc, but obviously I need to look myself.
If its a diesel take it to a diesel mechanic for a look first .The 5l engines last a long time with proper servicing but the cost of getting a fuel pump replaced for an electronic injected version is pretty eye watering.

@mariner4life GFYs.
I miss @jegga He was a hiluxophile and would not have stood for that sort of shit either.
Actually, you saved yourself a very nasty stay in the cellar with the last bit because I agree with that (although you are out by about a year. 19 would be better).
You're not wrong. Last year the local toyota dealer somehow got the impression I have money and gave their hilux demonstrator for the weekend while my van was getting serviced. Compared to the 78-05 models they are incredibly fat and soft now.
You should look into the legality of towing your digger. The police lost the money from speed cameras to Waka NoMahi so they are looking for new revenue streams and a crackdown on trailers and towing is on its way. The tow rating of a 2wd lux of your era is surprisingly low but if you've got a winch and bullbar you might be over the towball rating .

Are Landcruisers a thing in NZ. Perfect vehicle for the OZ environment, latest models with a few extras now well over a 100k though
Yeah, the 24 valve 80 series really hold their value here . Shame the 70 series goes back to four cylinder next year.
@jegga Does he mean that our Israel wears a Nigerian flag in the ring maybe?
He was born there, lived there till he was 10 but country of birth is listed as nationality by the UFC
So Styris would be an aussie.
Full name Scott Bernard Styris
Born 10 July 1975 (age 44)
Brisbane, Queensland, Australia
I've seen pictures of him with both flags, he posted this after the rwc semi final

I heard something similar on a podcast about George Clooney. Basically he doesn’t have much of a range so he just picks roles within what he can do . The studios know that and fans will come to see him be a variation of basically what he usually plays.
Sells his part in Return of the Killer tomatoes a bit short but it’s otherwise fair .
I think most actors have a type, which is similar to their own personality.
True , then occasionally you get someone like Billy Bob Thornton .

The Air Force’s New Weapon Is…Shipping Containers?
The USAF could sprinkle potential battlefields and hotspots with shipping containers years in advance, each hiding a lethal drone.

The Italian Job - the 2013 version
How does Marky Mark get acting gigs? Pinocchio has more range and ability than that midget.
Also the script is terrible.
Glad to see someone else thinks this.

@Nepia yep, this girl would be 4 pints in and on her way home before he even started
I have never tired of watching this
@Tim said in Hurricanes v Blues:
Canes are now officially NZ's dumbest team.
Blues couldn’t score against 12 men , both teams deserve to be driven to school in the “ minivan “.
