whats best one 1.9 or 2.5I got an Isuzu after my last Hilux so I'm fine...but a cousin and a friend have newish ones and both have been into the dealer several times with them now, mixed issues but seem centred around cpus.
On the plus side, I will say that FRF (our local Toyota dealer) does offer very good service indeed.

Always the bigger engine for me, the smaller ones just seem to be trying to do too much.
Torque levels on the 1.9 are 20% below the 2.5. So a lot are chipped around here which could be building problems down the line for the next man.

Get the chassis and underneath cleaned of and coated/painted with something asap then. Mine at 11 years old (always intended treating underneath) is getting patched up for this mot and if i intend to get many more out of it I'm on the lookout for a chassis to clean up paint and swap. A forum member isn't far off with his 10 year pickup lifespan.

Make sure inside the chassis is done and the bracings on the crossmembers, they rot from the inside out. The tub on the back goes as well especially behind the plastic arch extensions if invincible spec, by the time the rust appears on the wing above the arch there's likely already big chunks missing behind.
Aren't they around the ÂŁ49,000 mark new now?

What's that all about?
Well I am looking at an advert for a New Invincible 2.8 with Auto box and Metallic paint for ÂŁ26113.00.
So I would say that going for a manual box and settling for solid paint would bring the cost down below ÂŁ25k, as it was just over ÂŁ1k more for auto and ÂŁ700 for metallic when we got ours.
Therefore you are talking crap about 3 years ago.

Really then put up the advert or put on your specs.
We buy any car will offer me 23.5k for a 19 plate
4 door invincible manual with 25k on the clock so your the one talking

Where did the crack start?
My 3 year old has just started to crack from where the front sensor is behind the rear view mirror.

They've gone up by several thousand since then .
How old is that advert?
That's the price I paid for an auto 2.8X end of last year.

My 2012 hilux failed the mot in jan due to bits of the chassis after falling out with rust,
I got it repaired then and got the chassis sandblasted and treated and painted with dinitrol.
Hope it stops the rot now
