INTRODUCTION
The Cressida range of cars covered in this manual was introduced in South Africa in 1981.
With Four Models: The L (and LS) with a 1770cm3 engine; The GL with a 1982cm3
engine; The GL Station Wagon with a 1968cm3 which was later changed for a 1972cm3
unit and the GLX Saloon with 1972cm3 engine which was discontinued in 1983 and replaced by
the GLE which was fitted with the same engine. The engines in these cars are all four cylinder
units fed by a carburettor.
In 1983 the six cylinder 1988cm3 Gli-6 model was announced and in the following year the six
cylinder 2.Bi, both of these cars having an electronic fuel injection system and electronic
ignition and were produced in Saloon form only. The first major alteration in vehicle
configuration, apart from the five different petrol engines, was on the 2.8i• which has independent
rear wheel suspension with disc brakes in place of the live axle with drum brakes used on all the
other models.
Depending on the model and year and customer option the transmission to the rear axle/final drive
may be a four or five speed manual gearbox or a three or four speed automatic transmission, the
fourth speed of which is a true overdrive ratio. The brakes in common with best modern
practice, are hydraulically operated with two indepen­dent circuits to front and rear wheels,
assisted by a vacuum servo unit and including a pressure reducing valve to eliminate rear wheel
looking under heavy pressure.
The general standard of equipment and accessories can be described as most comprehensive and
equal to or better than most cars sold at considerably higher prices. Most of the usual
servicing operations required in nor­ mal use can be carried out by the average owner driver
but for much of the sophisticated electronic equipment the assistance of a qualified service
station will need to be called upon. Overall, the Cressida has proved to be most reliable and, for
its size and the facilities offered, most economical to run.
