Don't forget they blow smoke,burn oil and crunch gears and the rear end doesn't follow the front in ruts,and are quite prone to turning over without starting. Pat

[QUOTE=rick130;1938371]Psst !

I wish I was,mines new and does it.It's sad they went from the1HD- FTE,one of the best diesel engines ever sold here to the boat anchor they have now. Pat

Just got back from a return trip to Adelaide in the D4.
1500km in 18 hours.
8.9 litres per 100 k supported to be reasonable accurate by fuel dockets.
Used less fuel on the return journey for some reason?

Plenty of power to round up b doubles.

D4 performed flawlessly

Only scare was an errant roo near Ararat.

Naa, no nails to speak of mate, you know how it is from spinning spanners and bashing fingers.

I'd be much more concerned with spraining my cocked little pinky when sipping a French Earl Grey :angel:

But you won't get me out of my shed on wheels :D

No spilling the latte in the disco as it rides on air:D

Won't have to wind down the window,the climate control is fantastic,so your hair won't get messed up:p

oh and there is a mirror in the sunviser if you need to attend to the eyelashes....:D

I actually don't mind either,but for around town ease and long highway hauls,it can't get much better than a D4.

Oh FFS you're all starting to sound like Toyota drivers now.
