Haha, yep, cheeky buggers.
Wasn't at home, was def at work carpark, however my rig is always parked in the emsecond carpark and right next to the school garden where there's always a class and their teacher, along with the teacher that runs the garden, she's there all day, along with the groundsman and his offsider. It is Ingle Farm though, must've been ready to run it over toncashies and then up to the Settlers for smoko

3500klm this week...3000klm of that were home to Melbourne and return....geezus these are nice cars to own and travel in...8.8lt/100 was the figure on the dash when I got home...it aint 'everything' but it helps with fuel at its current and ridiculous price...coolant temp only got to 74C in the City traffic...my hat goes off to those of you that deal with that mayhem on a daily basis...rabbits is a good description of City drivers....but open road it never went over 63C...admittedly the heater was on most of the time....trans temp hit 83C a cupla times during some 'invigorated' driving manoeuvres...ONLY complaint is the hi beam...have a light bar and will get that fitted later this week on a family adventure to a town that has an auto lekky and my fav. Auto outlet....a service is due and it needs all filters n oils done...except the tranny which still needs to be rebiult to enable reliable towing.....just really happy with the overall comfort, power and fuel efficiency of our buses....GO JEEP !

The mob that did my dpf replaced the thermostat in mine as they said it wasn't getting hot enough, I like you, notice the temp never gets high. The only time I see it up in the 90's and the fans come on is chugging up tough steep hills on hot days in low range.
