It's not registered yet so he could do a toyota type towing/gvm upgrade i guess and still be miles ahead on price and reliability...ever heard of a Paj busting cvs or having air box or oil consumption issues..or dpf..or ..or ..or☺

This guy is a very smart buyer with an obsession for research. And towing 3.5t is not on his agenda but 7 seats plus all the other Paj features are. Great sound system too☺

But..still not as good a car to drive as a D4. He looked at D4s and whilst he really liked them the endless carping about reliability issues with the TDs put him off..plus of course age and no warranty.

He was just leaving Maclean and on his way to Cabarita. [emoji50]

Kits are available to get to 3000 with increased ball weight..you can go higher before registration with engineer's certification. Pity Mitsu state a GCM which can be an issue whereas Toyota don't. I believe..which provides more flexibility pre rego esp for insurance purposes. He's gonna get a small van..eventually..so all's good.

Not too much of those grown here anymore, North Qld has cornered the market there.

Still quite a bit of sugar cane though, and lots of macadamia's, guava's etc up here on the plateau and in the hinterland

Oh dear. The one I can recall was on the Southern Outskirts of Byron I think. Big Plantation, Indian owned/operated.


Probably named, as is the custom, "The Big Banana"[bighmmm]

4000 RPM @110kph!!
What gear is it in?????
..... or is it "just for illustration purposes" [bigrolf][bigrolf][bigrolf][bigrolf]

Used 1/4 tank of fuel for 567 kms yet only 526 kms to refuel...

I’m having consistent and regular issues with my MY19 D5 also. Back to the dealer again on Monday to have the rear diff stripped and assessed, had transfer case replaced already. Clunks, shudders, vibrations and constant issues with cameras, nav, blind spot monitors and reverse collision detection.
I’ve owned heaps of land rovers and every series of discovery - never had so many issues and agree with JLR being unhelpful and dis-interested...

I guess it doesn't help the client if they have the Australian Distributorship by the 'nads.
