You are a operator that needs replacing, if employed in the earthmoving industry!!.

I agree with TD100, if you know your vehicle and how it performs that's the way I have always operated, I do put trust in the gauges It has, and same applied to 30 years of Truck driving, I did own a 1959 FC ute , I new it burnt oil ( and did it burn it) so every day checked and added , but yes as a teen I bloody thrashed it,

Funny you had a FC as a teen so did i (58 FC sedan) poor thing coped an absolute hiding hahahahaha Paul

The mighty FC.

I had one as my first car back in 79. A beautiful one owner with 90,000 miles on it.

Best Off Road
And I bet you wished you still had it now , it would have been "Best on Road"

Here's a photo of the ute, and yes it had the white Pom Pom's around the rear window , of course todays youngers would have no idea what they were , the trend was to get some lace with little white balls dangling on it and push the lace in between the glass and the rubber , maybe some other oldie might have a photo of such, The name on the wheel spats was "Telstar"

AND - would they be SLIM'S by any chance?

Grrr!!!

Next you'll be telling us that you had little balls too.

Had the Fuel Pump changed at 345000 and even then I think the mob in the Isa wanted a job , anyhow it was done and I paid, had the Valves check at Prosser Toyota in Gosnells WA 18 months back , nothing needed fixing and it's still on the original Injectors,
It has had a lot of long runs as a Pilot vehicle, I always add Wynnes or Nulon to all oils when changed , and occasionally I add Wynnes Spitfire Injector Cleaner to the fuel.

Robin were they those Platinum Plugs??

My Turbo Falcon has the things and according to the owners manual they are good for 150K before changing.
Shudder to think how much they are gunna cost when they do need to be changed.

john I had platinum plugs in my cressida, about $20 per plug a few years back

Hi John

There even better, Iridium tipped I think - anyway they were only a dollar dearer than normal at $9.95 each. Not that it makes much difference what sort you use as long as heat range is ok.

One of my favourite posts from the Patrol website was when someone trying to put a case for diesel said that they would cost $100 each.

Yep,,,

Thats why . The motor produces so little horsepower it lasts forever . I do about 10,000klms per year in mine so it should last until i am 150 .
