Hi guys,
Just a quick one... Had my 2002 Hilux 3.0D SR5 Dual Cab for a few weeks now, and have only done about 1200ks.
When we had our last car, we noticed that after about 3-4000ks the motor really started to free up, idled a bit smoother etc etc.
Can I expect a similar thing from the Hilux?
How long till a diesel is "really" run in (the owners manual suggests the usual 1000ks take it easy). I might just be imagining it, but the idle seems a touch on the rough side, as felt through the seats etc.
Thanks for your thoughts.
Cheers, Haggis
