From Landy to Lux; Hello Everyone

Post by emilevdh »

Hi there,

I am busy selling my beloved landy in order to buy a 99 2.7i raider from a forum member, so think it's apt I join in the meantime.

Hope to have many trouble-free miles and lots of fun!

ps: This is my landy if anyone is interested: http://www.4x4community.co.za/classifie ... -tdi&cat=4" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
When it comes to camping for 2 people; nothing beats it. And it has proven very reliable over the years.

hehe I have! that is no comparison.

But it's nice for the back passengers to sit forward and not sideways. Also safer. If I could get a nice 5 door landy, I would not hesitate.

Thanks for the warm welcome!

That is one thing I am worried about - the fuel consumption - but I am hoping with lower running costs this evens out.
I have spent about R50000 in the last 3 years getting the landy in the condition it's in.

Welcome Emile,
From one Ex landy owner to another.
I also moved over from landrover(after about 5 of them) to Hilux, I just bought my second one.
These guys on the forum have a wealth of knowledge and experience to assist you in all you need to know and do on your hilux.
Enjoy

How are the 2.7's on service costs?

What you will miss:
-Bit of ride comfort(because of it's all round independant suspension)
-Uniqueness(landy in a good condition always catches one's eye and makes one want to go into the bush - no matter what you drive)
-not worying about rust!!!
-Fuel consumption
-Taxi respect(they tend to take more chances cutting infront of me with the Hilux)
-torque


What you will gain.
-A great forum full of knowledgeable, willing and capable friends.
-Service cost(about a third of that of the landy Diesel)
-Drivability
-Safety(ABS, Airbags)
-Use of a loadbin
-Reliability
-Resale value
-Speed
-Power
-repair cost(Drove my last landy 130 crew cab tdi for 5 years cost me R35000 on engine repairs, both my toyotas in 6 years cost me R6000)
-etc, etc.......

I still from time to time get nostalgic when I see a Landy, but up untill they sort out their reliability, parts, prices and resale value I will never consider buying one again.

Hope you enjoy it here
P.S
This is my personal opinion from experience with my vehicles.

Hi Emile,
welcome to the forum. A friend of mine also recently sold his Landie and said that for the first time in 8 years he sleeps right threw the night. He used to lie awake and listen to the Landie breaking in the garage at night time.
