Now this is a donk,hard to believe its 3.6ltrs

So sad that it goes into a vehicle that will only ever be used to drop the kids off to school...................

Why manufacturers don't make them just a bit bigger and slightly less stressed is beyond me. Fuel is simply not that huge a deal in the big scheme of things - it's operating costs you have to look at. Mind you, if they hold together for the long run they'll be sensational. That much grunt out of that size donk would suggest a very dissapointing (and expensive) B10 and B50 rating to me.

Maybe it would have been better to fix the quality and reliability problems in all the other areas first!!!

Back in 1998 I t hink it was, the 50th anniversary of Landrover. I bought a magazine that had been published about Landrover by one of the local publishing companies,4x4 Australia, Overlander or someone like that.

It talked about a lot of things Landrover but the interesting statistic was that, at the time, 60% of all Landrovers ever built were still registered for use on public raods. That statistic did not include all the others that are still running around on farms and the like unregistered.

Now I love my Nissan but I wonder if the percentage of all Nissan 4wd ever built that are still running is anywhere near 60%. I doubt it.

It would be even less Toyotas or Mitsubishis. lol............ :-)
