    Till it stops
    Which is immediately after the warranty period.

    And when it stops, the TD5 stops dead in it's tracks, no warning, no time to pull over.

    What they were thinking was that unless they put in a diesel engine that will cope with Australian conditions, we will never get any market share back nor have any chance at any Australian Army supply contracts. i.e the Perentie would have been still born with the 200TDi.

    One on the only occasions in the last 30 years they got their thinking straight and away from Euro zone.
