That was the unlimited I take it? (bigger fuel tank)

I have the 2 door CRD. Awesome little truck. It has been very reliable mechanically. I think all problems that have been reported can be traced back to short cuts in the factory. The two biggest ones for the CRD are the turbo hoses and the battery. Turbo hose upgrade is being sorted as we speak, and the battery is a consumable item anyway. When my one dies (whether it explodes or just wears out) I will just replace it with a regular aftermarket battery. Both problems solved with minimal effort.

No, my truck is a shortie. Filled up in Horsnby, refilled at the Big Prawn. You can just imagine the range on this truck with a bigger tank.

tdwrangler, you just made me change my signature!

That's awesome, our tanks are only 66L! I suppose its not too hard to believe really - I get 7s and 8s on the freeway so it makes sense.
