Good to know that the lifetime of the TD5 injectors is LONG if treated right because at $880/each x 5 = $4400, that's definitely a Credit Card killer

I reckon the Puma though will be better suited to our requirements, so now, I've just got to keep saving until the right time comes up....

Re: The Replacement of the "Spud Shaft" between the G'box & T'fer on the Puma, would it be fair to say that if it's done 100k+ in kms that it should have been replaced?

Sorry to rain on your parade but you've replaced rubbish quality injectors with very expensive rubbish quality injectors. Your ''new'' injectors are most likely just as much out of spec as the old ones. Pat

I'd keep a very close eye on the exhaust and a very close ear on the motor,if it starts puffing black smoke or gets a hint of a rattle turn the damn thing off.

Thats because everything else around the injectors has been repaired or replaced

That's funny because the mechanic that worked on our Prado said the exact same thing when I asked about LR injectors & their reliability....

I don't think the Injectors will the thing I need to watch out for but more so the Pistons from what I've been reading.... As I've said, with continual proper servicing, only time will tell how things turn out.... I'm hoping & believing for the best

I do have the Techstream program where by I can plug in & view/download how the engine/injectors are performing, etc
