Hello all,
I am looking at buying a 1998 GXL Landcruiser; it's a 4.2l Diesel - no turbo. I took it for a spin and although a little slow, she wasn't too bad.

One thing I noticed though was that when doing 50 or so km/h and then putting the foot down, it didn't want to change down a gear. It just laboured in top gear. There was very little delay in shifting the gears manually or out of O/D, so that was good. I forgot to check the trans dipstick...

It's pretty long in the tooth with over 300,000km on it, but the services have been routine. I don't want to buy a truck with looming issues.

My plan is to get a mechanic to look over it when the shop opens. Until then, i'm open to speculation!

Thanks.

Joshua.
