Holden Jackaroo Turbo Diesel information requested

my toyota 4 runner before it was stolen, blew the arse out of the uni joints on my rear tail shaft, needed diff rebuild and needed a gearbox kit in it and still got me to sydney and back to newcastle at 110 kph, i felt the rear tail shaft go before ourimbah hill and checked it all out, found nothing wrong, until close to home then a vibration. went down to my dad's and had a crawl under it there and found the rear uni joint of tailshaft and died, ie no bearing's!!! someone was looking out for me and my wife!!!

my sister had a jackeroo, auto and petrol started leaking around the rear main seal at 170 000 klms, and started getting more problems, they own a toyota landcrusier 97 fully raised and gxl which they love to bits and no major problems yet!!!!

You pay for what you get!

I'm not bashing holden, just saying from my experience. Do the research first as you are and ask your mechanic mate if you have one!

It would seem that Jackaroo world is no longer in operation.

Well hopefully as he is good at haggling he may need it with a 3ltr Nissan as well
Hope not but maybe

Great Advice Oldbaz,
Stay away from this model Diesel it has inherant problems which cannot be fixed (its the motor design). The Jackaroo is a good vehicle but petrol is the way to go.
Good Luck,
Blackie
