    When I had a starter motor on the way out, I had roll starts down to a fine art, especially as the driveway wasn't that steep or long so you only got one chance!

    Featherweightdriver,


    The point is that you can't roll start an auto and all D4's and most D3's are autos in Australia, hence the need for a tow!

    ^^^ Agreed

    Poor assumption on my part around the prevalence of auto transmissions in D3 / D4 land

    Most late model Jap 4x4's have the same problem. The majority, if not all, 200 series and Prados are auto.
