Yes, member of the LRR of SA. Am off to Loveday with them this weekend (near Barmera) for some mud play, and I reckon it's going to be pretty muddy after all the rain we've had.

I was going to take the Disco, but now I think the 90 will be my weapon of choice. Shame to get it full of mud when it has just been detailed, but I really want to see how it goes off road.

Do you ever get down to the Adelaide meetings? I have heard a lot about your place (Wilmington?) from others.

I can do 9 if I drive really gently.

I'd be thinking of a mild chip upgrade and a good service.

I've run XZL's on mine with great success they look great IMHO. Although I reckon the XZLs would be just as noisy as the MTRs - I geuss it depends what your plans are.

The rest of your issues are just annoying and easily replaced with a few bucks.

I sat on an average of 105 (bit higher in NSW, lower in VIC), and here was a bit of a headwind. I checked the air cleaner and it looks brand new. Not sure what else would affect the consumption on a diesel or what there is to get tuned. I thought the TD5 was all handled by electronics anyway.

I have XZLs on my 130 and yes they are a bit noisy. The XZYs are more AT then MT so am going to get some prices on these. I'm going to swap rims for a week and see how noisy the XZLs are on the 90.
