Thanks so much - I have a Spanish built (his nickname is Julio ;) )... just called up a wrecker in Smithfield who has a Spanish built one he is parting out. Going there tomorrow arvo. I think I'll need to update my signature here :) - good call mate!!

Hi everyone, after having one very flat tire yesterday afternoon in Bathurst (Centra West NSW for those who may not know where it is), I went to change the tire only to find I had the jack but not the tool kit to operate the winder mechanism to lower the spare or operate the jack. Long and short...

Thanks mate - great reminder that my passenger side one is mostly clogged... thank goodness it wasn't the driver's side nozzle!

Hi everyone, I have a 2006 D40 as my daily. It's very pre-loved and recently clicked 300K kms... The fan blower didn't work, which in the summer meant that whilst driving it was hot. I might just add here that the passenger front window was 'ted as well, so there was nil chance of 4 windows...

Thanks Bruce, it's the 2.5 diesel - auto. I try to only drive like Grandpa, reserving my lead foot for when it's actually needed. I'm thinking of getting some road tyres for it. That should help the economy too.

Thanks mate, he’s just clocked 300K kms, planning on regularly servicing him, like the other vehicles in the fleet… just need to work on the passenger front window which won’t operate from driver or passenger door, and the fan blower. Country driving is fine, though stop start traffic in Sydney...

Thanks mate, double cab… x3 A/T tyres, one road tyre. I have a canopy. I pretty much put diesel gold in it, usually sourced from an independent servo if in Sydney, or a Mobil, if I’m on the other side of the Blue Mountains. Have only had the Ute since just before Christmas. It was a workhorse...

Hi everyone, I do a few kms each with with a trip to the orifice (aka office ;() in Sydney. Was pretty chuffed with the (diesel) economy this week from Julio - I think it came to about 8.9l/100km. He's an auto diesel from 2006.

Thanks, its name is now Manuel 😀🤣

Duh me, 5 speed auto diesel…

Hi everyone, have just bought this rig, just clicked 296K kms today. Used it to tow a car from Sydney over the Blue Mountains to the Central West. It didn’t skip a beat… I can’t work out if it’s a Spanish or Thai built vehicle. Someone has put up that the aerial on the top is Spanish, but that...

Hi folks, I’m now confused. I took a photo however can’t upload it. My aerial is on the roof (front and centre 😉), yet my blinkers are in the front mudguards. I’m not sure if I should call him ‘Manuel’ or ‘Pad Thai?’
