Last month my bill is $600 for my car alone but its not that its $600 its the fact I have hardly done any km's... I need to start keeping a log book like George does so I can work out exactly where its all going.

The month before my petrol bill combined was over $1100 and that included the Dargo trip and did a lot more km's and was towing a lot that month.

Saw a TD42 on ebay that suits being used as a donor but no turbo for $4700 ????
yeah wow, thats a big bill. now you know why i passed on the shorty, they petrol and gas was just too uneconomical to run. and gas is just too hard to come by in remote locations. i think between todd and I we spent over $1000 on fuel on the october trip. im under no illusions driving 4wds isnt cheap but that was too much(it worked out at like $200 a day).

i know how much time and effort you have spent getting your current motor working well, and i know some people have suggested it before mate, maybe it is time to cut your losses and sort out the diesel motor. it would cost you more than 4700 tho right? i think rossco said his setup cost around 6K or more?
