60,000 done. That was a big service as valve clearances are adjusted and all fluids replaced. Running beautifully. I miss driving my D2 as much but that is largely sentimental. This vehicle has its own character and the diesel is a very sweet. Enjoying the reliability too. Nothing to report on that front. Keen to do more camping soon. Cheers
I hope someone does something as good as this for the Ineos Grenadier.
Update. 70,000 klms. Very pleased with the vehicle. I have just developed a split in the cool side of the intercooler hose. It dropped a bit of power. Common fault. Thin walled rubber hose. Replacement 4 ply thick rubber hose on its way for $119 delivered but will also get the split one warrantied for a spare. New one is much stronger. Not mad keen on Silicon as they are a little harder to keep on the fittings...slippery little things.
Hose is very easy to take off. Will wrap in self annealing tape for now.
Would not have been an issue on a trip. The vehicle still goes OK but of course down on power and anyone with duct tape or annealing tape (better) etc can wrap it quickly and keep going. Not ideal to have the weakness but not a drama.

Annealing is what I do to my brass before resizing
Yep true mate. Got onto dealer today and they will fit a new one tomorrow under warranty and Uber me to and from town. Good service that.
Cheers
MMAL service would have to be one of the best at this point in time.Quote:

Definitely mate. You see Mitsu replacing the 2.5 (these could be problematic- MN Triton) with 250,000 to 350,000 on them and not original owners...very impressive stuff that. CheersQuote:
