Easy to get into and auto just what i need at the moment then wait for it the head cracked :sadno::sadno::sadno::sadno: not had any choice but to fix it so looks like i will be in the Surf for a while as it has cost ££££££££££ not as much as a rebuild on the scoob but a big dent in my Impreza money(this was going in to a bank account to not be touched).I am sure my luck will change soon and i can get it sorted for jap bash.

Shame to hear about the scoob Wez, and good luck on the new venture, we had a isuzu trooper auto, but got rid of it as it cost us a fortune in fuel, and then we brought another scoob:rofl:

Fuel not a problem as i just pop to Tesco for some cooking oil 64P a litre :rofl:

:doubleup::rofl:

Great choice mate. I've been thinking about getting a Surf. Loved my old Hilux pick-up

You will miss the scoob, but the Surf will win a place in your heart

What engine is the Surf?

Thay are all good. I had the 2.4 diesel, but the one i want next is the 3.0TD

Wez
I had one for 18 months, prone to doing head gaskets mate.
Is it the 4 cylinder?
Sorry to hear the scoobhas gone mate

Excellent choice mate really good cars bad luck about the head but at least it was fixable, shame the scoobs gone though.

Yep love it already like a car to drive.I got it for a very good price the plan was sell one of my bike's to pay for it which i did then save the scoob money for when i can get another one.Anyway it's the 3.0 ssr-x so does have some nice bit's on it rear heaters etc.The 3.0 do not normaly do the heads think i just got a bad one that had been boiled up in the past.I have gone for a complete new head,rad and all the other little bit's(some how a snorkel made it's way on to the list LOL) came to just over a grand which still makes it a cheap Surf lookin at some of the prices.

Sounds good mate
Electrica rear windscreen too?

This is the best place to get Hilux bits from. Everything i bought for mine came from here. really cheap too. very helpful on the phone...

Nice looking Surf there Wez, handles like a car? myself questions that, unless its based on a 2cv or similar?
I used to have a Toyota Landcruiser 4.2l, 6cyl with 2 inch body lift, 6inch suspension jack, running 34 x 12 inch rubber that got dirty! :doubleup:

Good luck Wez !!

:SMBLU:

Sorry to hear scoobs gone mate, I hope it gets as much love as you gave it (would've liked to of offered you a few quid to swap drivers seats as your one was very slighter better nick then mine).

Good luck with the Surf and I hope you can make it to J.Bash....we will reserve a spot ontop of the WR1's ;)

Sorry to hear the scoobs gone mate, you got that looking the nuts. But, the reasons are more important.

Good luck mate and don't be a stranger on here.

PMSL @ Scott and agree that there will be a designated powder blue parking spot for you.

No way i will be a stranger as soon as i am back in top form a new scoob will be top of the list :doubleup:.I have been lucky that 2 of my mate's have Surf's so with there help the head is off now and the new one should be here Tuesday.Never thought i would sell the scoob and one of my bikes but what happened has made me have a good think and health is more importent.My left side is getting better but still have a few problems with grip etc.Jay still has her sport so still have a scoob in the family.Thank you again for all the nice replys and my main aim now is get it sorted for jap bash hopefully there should be 3 of us in Surfs one with a v8 in it.
