Diesel engines - which is the best

What an absolutely stupid response, am I right in saying your a bleep !

oh, lighten up.....it's a friday funny :-)

Andrew

Yeah, and now your here, im laughing my head off!

mate, i think it's time to change your name :-)

Andrew

Reason?

It's grammatically incorrect.

Andrew

Your the only one who gives a bleep so far, deal with it!

oh, lighten up.....it's a friday funny :-)

Wrong! I'd love to buy another but they're just a bit too pricey and in too short supply for big discounts.

Im with HL on this one!

hi..... yes, 190,000 on a set of tyres, evenly worn.......I'd like to see that.
Cheers

It may seem strange but it's true. I started to source new tyres at 150,000 kms but they weren't available then (General Grabber). They're now very much in need of replacement but still have some tread - about 2mm more on the front than the back. I do a lot of freeway driving.

What pair you 2 are( hl & truckster) what it necessary to respond like you have, are you that insecure, if you can't supply a helpfull responce, then why respond.

Maybe you just don't know how to ask a civil question?

I'd like to know why, can you explain it to me?

Maybe they were dropped on their heads when they were a baby.

Hi Redback,

Here is my "helpful response".... note the spelling
I just thought someone might find it funny...........................................
So sorry.
Will promise never to do that again, ever.

Cheers

Thanks teach, want an apple!!

maybe take a dose of your own medicine baz.

Who is asking any questions, im making a statement.

dont ahve to explain bleep to u..

how dare you make a point of someone getting 190000kms on a set of tyres, happens all the time

Agree with you on that one.
Assume with a name like HJ60_Jon, you don't mind the old toyotas?
Taken me 10 years to get the paj how I like it.
And none of the new 4wds are tempting.
Should be a few good miles , or even Kms left after 190,000.

But then the price difference to a new car is a lot more with an older one.
But then I am resigned to just buying 2nd hand in future and saving that big loss in depreciation in the first and 2nd year.
The 2nd hand car market has changed a lot in the last 5 or 7 years.

Agree with HJ60_Jon and Oldplodder. What is this need to upgrade vehicles every few years? On the onehand you can buy new vehicles and trade them in on another new vehicle every few years costing you thousands of dollars each time plus the cost of needing to have your vehicle serviced while under warranty, or on the other hand you can buy a 2nd hand car with low km's and take care of it and drive it 'til it's worn out then buy another. On top of that the newer vehicles seem to be less and less robust. If I had loads of money I would buy my next 5 cars now; a couple of troopies, a couple of 80 series, all diesels, because I like 'simple' and drive them one at a time into the ground. That way, in 40 years time when everyone is driving the latest plastic toyota, I will be driving a near new 80 series.
If your vehicle is so good, keep it. If you think it's gone past its used- by date, instead of buying a new ute because they're cheaper, be patient and buy what you really want 2nd hand.

Front wheel drive.
Front tyres do all of the work, pulling and braking.
Maybe the rear brakes need adjusting?
Mini used to be like that.

Hi,
It's pretty normal for a front wheel drive car to wear the front ones much faster. Rotating them every 10,000 helps to even it out.
Cheers
(this is not meant to be funny)

Bugger, i laughed well there ya go hl try to be and your not, don't try and you are.

Funny fellow

Baz.

The New Triton Ute/dual cab is getting pretty good writeups.

Lovely Day!

Andrew,,,,you are a nasty pastie,,,,,,,
my 2002 patrol ZD30 saw your reply, and is now out in the back yard crying into its wiper bottle.
I demand you drive all the way down here to sunny??? Perth and apologise before i have to pay for councelling.

:)
meow.

rick.

Gday Rick, i was very toungue in cheek with that one, seems you took it the rght way. If you look at my rig profile, I drive the mighty 2.8GU - I'mnot really in a position to pass judgement on any diesils really:)

Cheers andrew

Good gravy Andrew,,,,you call that an apology,,? my cat makes a better meow than that.
Sheesh, the patrol is now crying into its open front diff, and you dont even mention coming down here to apologise,,,,,,shame on you,,,for making a four year old cry.....lololololololol:):)

mewo.

rick.

Actually, I reckon he MUST be right......the ZD30 MUST be the best engine ever produced!!!!

I admit to not having checked the importation records, but I would think that if you cared to do so, you would find that in the last 6 years, there may have been , say, 20,000 GU Patrols imported with a ZD30 engine, and ANOTHER 20,000 engines imported as well. Now the only possible reason for that is that soooooo many people are buying this masterpiece of modern engineering to replace the OE motor in their toyotas, mitsi's, holdens etc. Can't possibly be any other reason, eh??? ;-))))

Oh, Roachie,Roachie,Roachie,,,,,,,,,,,are you saying that the venerable ZD30 is the greatest piece of modern engineering you have ever come across ??? ( you need glasses mate..lol)
If not,,,,then your a nastie pastie as well, as the patrol has now booked in for councelling with the local shrink......from all accounts, this is gunna cost me a fortune in medical costs......oh crap,,,,its started crying again.....:):):):(

meow.

rick.

Sorry Rick, ol' mate.........the truth hurts, eh?? Maybe your ZD30 should have a Bex and a good lie down.

Cheers mate
