    Isn't the 5le just a naturally aspirated version?

    Have tried this site, but have found http://www.landcruiserclub.net/forum to be much more welcoming and helpful. Has been some issues with mods and that on the other i believe. But either are a goldmine of info on anything Toyota

    You jammy git.

    Snap it up with both hands. I have heard it is rock solid and bullet proof.
    It is also is used in toyota forklifts so all parts are fully availible

    Its around 100 horsepower as far as i can remember

    I have an Aussie Landcruiser with outback tanks. Not as quick as a d4d but a brilliant jeep. No issues in 114000 Kms

    There was something about it on the main motoring forum a few months back, a couple of thousand euro I think, but I'm not sure if that was exporting an irish car to Oz. It involved a few weeks of paper work too.
    Would a 4x4 that had spent its life working on or in a mine be worth buying at all ? They would only sell them on when they become to expensive to keep repairing no?
