    My last crew used the later model hilux's. One blew a gear box at 45k an the rest needed at least one injector by 100k.

    Currently we use the Navaras, STX 6spd manual and a 450 auto. The STX goes hard, the 450's got plently of grunt but the autos a bit sluggish. Both pretty reliable for bush hacks.

    The new mazda are just f'ing ugly.

    Really?
    One of my best mates is the top diesel fuel tech in Australasia and does it all the time for customers.
    You would very surprised at what comes out of the pump and what does damage.

    But what would I know... Not as if I've been purifying fuel for use for the last 15yrs or anything...

    Big difference between a fuel filter and a water separator. The 1HZ is like the old 2.8. Will eat anything, but its not common rail, not HP and doesn't have high speed plungers in the pump...

    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    Iv Heard nothing bad about new Isuzu. The new hilux is getting a bad rap the fact is there is more of them on the road than most new utes there % of problems is smaller than the rest. If it were me tho id probably be looking at the new VW or Ranger.

    Yep saw that I was wrong this morning when I went past the Caltex on Lincoln Road. Sows you how much attention I pay to other service stations as I have only used BP for years.
