    Yeah, your right GM. I quite happily did all the servicing on my ancient Hi-Lux and more recently my 1996 Toyflota van. My last 2 cars though.......the dead giveaway is when you lift the bonnet and cannot see the driveway underneath through any gaps in the engine bay. Or cannot see all the sparkplugs or oil filter for that matter.

    The old 6x6 GMC I worked on was good. High enough I could sit under it to remove the starter for a rewind. Think it has something like 8000 miles on the clock mid to late 80's

    @veitnamcam

    Somehow I just came across this.

    Put 50k on the clock now and is still going well, the Isuzu 4JJ1 motors are meant to be pretty good.

    I keep thinking about upgrading it but I just can't fault it, does everything I need it to.

    They are sopost to be a good engine.
    I got the shits with being burnt on secondhand vehicles and tho I couldn't really afford it I bought a new Triton end of 2018.
    So far total cost if it vanished tonight is less than my 1991 80 series lancruiser cost me in the same timeframe so I figure I am on a win.... Do miss the fridge and icemaker and heated seats tho.

    Yeah good point.

    My mrs wants an upgrade now and she's looking at Toyota Highlanders, bit worried about the fuel bill.
