    Toyota V8 going BANG??

    Over here in NZ there appears to be a hi failure rate of the new D4D V8 engine, where I live in the Cenrtral North Island, several foresty gangs and at least 1 other contractor have all had major failures at around 60,000k's. Now Toyota are keeping this very quiet of course, apparently 'its all a rumour'. I was just wondering if the same was happening over there?

    Oh dear Bugga!

    They should have bought an unbreakable Hi-Lux

    You won't find me on: faceplant; Scipe; Infragam; LumpedIn; ShapCnat or Twitting. I'm just not that interesting.

    I assume you're talking oil consumption and if so, it explains why they have a 27 litre sump - so they can make it to the next servo!

    A how many litre sump? 27 litres! I'd hate to have to service that! Don't tell the greenies, they'll have conniptions!
