Yes why I chose my Challenger of that vintage as they drop engine cubes and rev them up for emissions to meet Euro5-

They're all getting more fragile for the flippers and leasers
I believe for a keeper you want to fit new genuine Denso injectors to them all around 160k if you know what's good for your engine

[McTavish]

Yes - I'm banking on shelling out for new injectors around the 150k mark - but my mechanic is also keeping an eye on the injector values to be sure.
I'm now up to 75k kms in 6 years - so I might have some time to save some $'s before they're due

Just an effort to stop more people suing them. We did at work and got our 15/16 models (all out of warranty) swapped for 2020 models. Hilux is the gift that keeps on giving.

God! Aren't we all lucky that this is a Toyota problem! Imagine the vitriol and crap spewed forth by Toyota owners, if this was Nissan, Land Rover or Jeep. This thread would be up to page 495.

I feel sorry for the forum member whose 'cruiser engine blew up recently but it was treated as 'Bad Luck' by most.
What a load of bollocks.

This tells me my choice to buy a Y62, was a very good move.

Sometimes you think you made the right choice.....but you won't know for sure until it's 15yrs old ?

I don't keep cars that long, so all good, a couple more years, and i'll see what the next model is like. Or a P400 defender. No more modern diesels for me.
