Yeh, could put about 12 of the 4.5ltr V8 together and we may get it to move

The V12 cat wasn't in my boat it was in 1 we had to tow to get it somewhere where parts and a computer could be flown in..

My K series Cummins does me just fine, simple with no electronic wizardry, and best of all...IT HAS A DIPSTICK.

PS, with the 1000ltr oil tank we have onboard, we may have enough oil to keep the Toyota's topped up...


Cheers Ean

I would prefer a dip stick to the current system, but wouldn't have your D3 with a dip stick over my D4 3.0 without one.... in a fit.

And if you had one, you put up with not having the dip stick too, like the rest of the happy owners.

PS my first one didn't have a dip stick either, and I still bought another D4 3.0

You've already owned two D4s....?

Rob I hope they sort this seriousness out with your D4. These forums the world over sadly have the ability to self degenerate and it's not just the Landy ones... always the ones with humans involved. Personally I picked up the vibe/tone of the original post and was saddened to see the troll type comments come through and seriously hope the fix your D4 properly enough to give you full confidence which is always a difficult thing to reclaim once you know it's been pulled to bits.

I worked a lot at Sale and know how reliable your D4 is going to need to be on the long road out there so I sincerely hope this works out properly for you. Not game to ask which dealer you were using but presume a city based one....

Best cheers.

I also had a read through some of these posts.
Mully you are bang on, with your comments.
Some are so blind sighted !!
Usually the same punters.
I could say more, but l know it would create a rampage of replies.

And i wanted a few options not on the first one, as I bought that one off the list and didn't order it from the factory.

Nice....

I'm trying to convince my wife that mine needs renewing, since it was an Aug 2009 build.

Can't print her response......
