I honestly believe that governments and 4wd manufactures don't care about the longevity or reliability of current diesel vehicles. They just care about ensuring their vehicles meet the ever-changing emissions requirements to be able to continue selling vehicles.

The only way this will end or improve is if falling sales impact the economy.
You are right on the money I reckon. Gov's hold these companies to ransom to please the green lobby.

What is the carbon foot print to scrap, rebuild or make a replacement vehicle after a short service life. That doesn't seem to be on the agenda.
