I'm wondering if that's still the case.

Patrol God
They've turned workhorses into thoroughbreds. It cost my cousin a small fortune, to repair his brand new Patrol after fuel contamination in W.A.
My advice is: not to follow my advice.

Just a bit of banter to get you to read the article lads. I don’t wish mechanical calamity on anyone & I believe in karma so if I were being truly nasty I’d probably have a rod out through the bottom of my dinosaur next week. (No reflection on the inner goodness of our illustrious leader & pizza maker extraordinaire intended)
