Toyo Service Cemtre come to mind.

Any proper garage shpuld be able to service a 4y, it is in every second taxi!

They do not have the skills anymore to service these old cars hence 13k to have it outsourced.

You can send it with Motorvia to Cape town (R3500.00 one way)

I'll do a major service for about R 2500.00, i'll send it back and you will have change to spare

Hoppy, 3 Hiluxes, lucky man, I have just one hilux, and one wife and am confused as to who to spend more time with :? oh and my hilux is younger than the wife... just glad that shes not a member on this forum. would take it to Louis but the temptation to have it EFI'd would be too great!!
