Ignore the peanut gallery Bec, they still have VCR's in their lounge rooms as well.

What engine etc do you have now (I am guessing ZD30) and what do you intend to use the vehicle for?

The DVD Players will last longer if you stop trying to squish the big black cassette thru the little skinny slot :devilred:

Hijackers Bec, they are so funny, be a different place without them LOL.

My 05 GU 4.2TD is the last before electronics get too involved. The injector/pump has electronics and that is it as far as I know. No ABS, Air Bags, Trip Computer, Cruise Control, Traction Control, EBD etc etc.

My wifes Lancer has lots of stuff like that and is nice to know she is in a safe car but it doesnt go off road and cross deep water so it has a better chance of not giving her trouble.

Performance and my GU do not go togeather, but I am expecting it will last a long time.

Back to the peanuts,

Macca
