    Interesting article(just scanned it). Some of the earlier ZD30's were plagued with trouble(so I've heard).
    I'm wondering if that's still the case.

    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)
