It's pretty obvious which truck is the hybrid!

The Americans call my 150 HP 3:0 V6 (Petrol) the “3 Slow” …. And yet the 2.4 TD only has 86 HP!!! How do you guys cope??

My 2.4 did everything a 3.0 did. TYRES are the 1st mod if you go offroad

You can find your countrymen here:

They will talk a lot more sense than us pommy b@stards.

Most of the time they do. Some of the muppets ought to pay attention to what they read though. Which, whilst that's reminded me, hello Stormy.

You can always rely on me not to read a post right before answering

is yours manual or auto

[shadowhawk]

all i know so far is i defiantly want a 3.0lrt TD

as for being auto or manual i dont know

auto's i donno it's just something about them i like being in more control of my car like you feel when your driving a manual but then again at the same time it would be nice to have a auto while driving around the city which i guess thats what i would use it for most the time i wouldn't be going off road every week but when i do go off road i would probably regret getting the auto ahh this is a hard one

there's also the truble of finding the manual

[Ballibeg]

I've not regretted an auto off road. I'm always in the right gear and have never stalled!!!!!

i was just thinking say i get a 3.0ltr TD auto and then later on do a manual conversion would that be possible

has any one ever done this would a 5 speed from a 4x4 hilux ute fit??

[shadowhawk]

ARRHH im $$$$ed now i'v found one thats 3.0lrt TD manual real nice looking one and i want it so much it sounds like a really good buy

but i dont have the money i could get a loan out but i'm already paying one off for my othere car but thats only $170 a month and the loan is in my mums name so i should pass for a loan

my plan was to pay off this car this year and then get a loan out and get a surf then sell my othere car and put all that money on the loan for the surf arhh but now i'v found a really good surf that's every thing i wanted plus some arhhh what the hell should i do


heres the surf any way

Pricey over there aren't they?

Ask the fella if he'll take a holding deposit on the Surf, sell the car, put the money/loan on the surf. Pick it up. Job done.

Not too bad, and diesel is chaeper anyway.
