If TD5's are as unreliable as you are making out surely all my spare sensors are not for the hell of it! As far as I am concerned having a decent amount of spares and tools is only sensible. I dont want to risk our safety should something go wrong, and I am not going to not take spares just to prove a point to opinionated forum members.

At least in a td5 you dont get the risk of the cambelt snapping. Would rather take any number of dead sensors than that.

I havent been on this forum long but from what I have seen of some of your posts you are just after an argument most of the time.

It doesnt come down to money atall. I could afford a tdi Disco, but I dont drive one.

Afraid shouting doesnt make you correct.

Forget about bottle openers, I'm impressed that they've got beer on tap.

Makes me correct when I am.........

I was saying wrong to the comments about the around the world Latitude trip not your stupid sensors

Bit touchy are you about what you post?

I will keep that in mind anytime I post something in a forum that you are a part of in the future even when it has Nothing to do with you.............

Now on the point of what I said about your sensors......

I can travel about 11kms on that in fuel......Correct

You still have to carry the same sort of spares as well as your sensors.....Correct

geez, does that mean I am correct or not???????????????

As far as the timing belt issue, It isnt an issue as long as you do it at around the 80k km mark as with most vehicals with a timing belt including my wifes carolla and a lot of other cars so I see that as maintenance not a problem as do you guys with replacing looms and tightening oil pump bolts as well as replacing plastic head dowels and head gaskets etc etc etc etc etc.......

Oh yeah Im still correct......

On top of that, I probably carry a wider selection of tooling than most people do as some other members on this forum would atest to whom have had the pleasure of having my tool box out to fix their cars as mine doesnt generally breakdown due to the fact that I maintain it and drive it according to the amount of money I have for repairs which isnt all that much.

I havnt had a car (that Ive chosen to own) on a tow truck for about 10 years and it was a VL commodore with a blown head gasket although I had an AU ute which had a couple of trips on a towtruck due to it blowing transmissions due to the Ford stealer not fitting the right parts (as in a trans cooler) when they were instructed to by Ford aust but thats a different story.

So what your saying is that because you didnt do your research before posting Im now to be a "NOI-T4L" or No it all to anyone that might struggle to work out his insult.

For the record, at any stage that you disagree with me or you know Im wrong then post that instead of stupid child like insults and proove me wrong and I will appologise.

It wouldnt be the first time that I have and everyone can get the wrong idea of how things work sometimes espesially when they dont work on a specific machine/vehical all the time.
