2004 3 litre turbo diesel holden rodeo

They are a high reving diesel that works hard. Even though a lot will see 400k a lot dont. Low sulphur fuel means reduced lubricity and fule pumps can start leaking. Expensive to fix and many end up wrecked when the motir fails due to the high cost of repair.
At 260k the odds against you are mounting. I think a 2002 V6 petrol jackaroo is good value and the motors will see 400k plus with few troubles. Perhaps some other posters may be able to indicate how many kms their rodeos have achieved

You don't say how much they are selling it for.

Have a look in classifieds for my DMAX. After advice from a mate I've reduced it to $38K. It is ONLY advertised on Exploroz at this stage to give members the option of first buy.

Hi Callum,
As has been mentioned previously it depends on the price you are paying. I have a 2003 RA 4x4 diesel with 235000kms. It is a work ute that I tow a trailer with every day. It is no rocketship off the mark but is strong. I also think it is geared quite low(I can get to 3rd before I need to use the throttle and very steep descents in low range 1st are painfully slow). The downside is it revs quite high at 110 in 5th (2900rpm). Mine is in really good nic, but shows wear and tear ie drivers seat, steering wheel & gearknob. It is regularly serviced inc front wheel bearings and all fluids. I have just replaced the front discs. It is very reliable but it is a machine, so just be aware of what may need doing in the short term, like a clutch, rear drums and linings etc. I have had a few issues. EGR valve, ignition swith, rattly clutch(ongoing, it won't die so I can get a new one) but nothing major. 10 litres per 100kms week in week out towing a trailer around town up to 15 litres per 100kms towing a 1500kg pop top van at 100km/h. Very capable 4wd. Approach with caution but be positive as well. What else is on the market for the same money? How long will I keep it and how many kms will I do? A mate of mine has had lots of issues with his new Hilux and another needed a new turbo on his D4D Prado, $4500 later....

My 2 cents worth.

Cheers

Mark
