Have just picked up my 05 courier dual cab (mother said I had to get rid of the Triton single cab).
Apart from the stiffer ride, off road the rest seems to be very good, especialy fuel wise as it seems to be getting about 9/100klm.
Does anyone have any points, that I should what out for?
Thanks for your comments.

No trouble with
mine bushy, pretty good considering what I've done to it and where I've taken it.

Hi Bushy,
One thing about the Courier/Bravo TD's: While the intercooler is in the right place (out in front), it's a bit low and exposed to damage in this vehicle. I'd definitely recommend a strong mesh screen in front of it. I've seen a few 'working' Couriers/Bravos wit the intercooler fins completely crushed by stones/big grasshoppers, etc. - and no longer capable of any useful cooling.

Ian thought that might be the case, so I will make a heavy duty screen up to suit. thanks for your comments.
