06 diesel rodeo starter motor spat the dummy

LOL..! bleep er..

I meant to say LOL..! Very funny Pizzer..!

Chris - Wat too simplistic way to determine a vehicle's quality!

Using the same theory then = I had a 1996 Landcruiser that kept doing the back diff and it only had 70k on the clock

My Rodeo has done 70k and no issues with the diff.

Using your method of quality the Rodeo is a better car in this case?

Arrh but Tony your Rodeo also has issues with the air con belt..! LOL..

TerraFirma :-) Very True - But the Cruiser also used a lot more fuel with a gutless 4.2, my rodeo 3ltr eats the cruiser non turbo 6 for 1/2 the fuel cost.

:-) Bring it on..... Cheers

Unfortunately, these things are pretty common with the rodeo/jackaroo...small niggly issues like clutch slipping at 130kms, sensors going us....i hope the starter is the only problem you have....keep an eye on the chassis for cracks too.

bugga posted in wrong area - this is for sandman. well no its not under warranty,,, i brought it through carpoint, only prob i have had with it in about 5k. was garaged for two years before i got it, hence the low klms, is out of warranty due to time elapsed. got it back this afternoon, stuck bushes in the starter motor, the mech says. ah well live another day spend another dollar.... lol thanks for replies

That wouldnt be too painful, the contacts are usually a sign the battery wasnt too healthy or a wire was not tight enough...too much voltage drop = too many amps through the contacts...just be aware that the rodeo is a light duty 4wd and you should have heaps of fun with it.

thanks for that dozer - will be having a chat with my auto electrician this morning, as for light duty all i really want is to tow my van on the tarmac - go to the beach, do fraser island and a bit of the inland. my brother a dairy farmer, and the one with the engineering gene in the family, is on to his second rodeo and i actually purchased it on his recommendation. cheers
