Rodeo Injectors

Once again AJB, same same, but at 280000.
(Doesn't the man listen, or is he just being thorough?)
No offence Stephen M, but I think '666 is the only bloke with a bad bite on a 2.8 Rodeo. Sure, I bagged our 94 model for appalling, woeful, atrocious and potentially dangerous turbo lag, but apart from that, it was the Ducks Guts: sorry it's gone.
I thank you for MM regarding the 99 model that you've just test driven: seems that they fixed the lag problem in the 5 year interval. As I think I said, our 2001(plated)
3L is good as gold wrt lag, but I just don't think it is quite as good as it could be.
Stephen, I'll be the bunny, and ask for complaints re 2.8. (Then I'll duck).

Na pretty much decided on a rodeo, over the gutless hilux, yeah great off road but over being the last on the cue all the time. Trying to con the wife into some $$$ and I would buy myself an SR5 99/04 hilux but that aint gunna happen so only have $15k to play with just havnt told her how much to add all the extra's, OME, snorkel,lift, new UHF, muddies, diff lock etc. Going to tidy the old lux up over the weekend, steam clean, repaint the bullbar, clean all the dust out the air vents etc, new pin stripes (have in box when old bloke hit the rear tray just never put the rest of them on) repaint inside the rear tray and then try an flog her off. Bloke at work was gunna buy last year when I was gunna buy trucksters patrol off him but he has already bought some thing but few other blokes interested so should go pretty quickly. Will put 12 months rego on it next week so should be a good selling point as well.Unless I win lotto in the next couple of weeks which aint going to happen seen as I dont play it. Going to have a look at another rodeo tomorrow but still have to get the wife to sit in one as she is just on 6 foot and always complained of the lux being too short for her legs. Might have to modify the seat runners or some thing so the seat slides back further.Cant think of any other vehicle that suits my needs and after having 2 dogs in the back of the lux today in 41d only for 15 mins had to take to work to get vacinated thank crist they werent in the back of my wifes new car, bloody slobber from one end to the other in the ute well.Regards steve M

Hi there Chris, havnt actually purchased one yet just doing some home work before I do. From a previous post some one was saying that even with out known knowledge that the injectors can stuff the top of the pistons at a certain amount of klms even if vehicle is running ok but seems that he may have been the only person with that problem. Have heard they are expensive to replace but looks like its not an issue any way. But yes that would be my first port of call to have a diesel mechanic to check them out if I thought they were to be an issue. My motto is if running ok dont touch except normal servicing but if it was to be an issue then I would get the injectors checked but doesnt seem to be an issue. Regards Steve M
