    4WD; What do you drive and why?

    The older style diesels are the bullet proof ones, ALL of the new common rail diesels are far from it, whether it be toyota, nissan ect. The main problem with the newer style is poor fuel quality and lack of lubrication in the fuel. Water in the fuel is the major cause of injector and fuel pump...

    Hi all, I just bought a second hand dmax with 86000 kms on the clock in almost new condition. I have put around 1000 kms on it and noticed it had very bad fuel economy.
