Hope so, dif,engine,gearbox Have not been opened up once

That's really impressive. My Corsa's motor started pushing oil into the intake before I traded it in. It was almost time to open the motor up!

How hard do you drive that bakkie though? Do you drive like a ballie or are you a boy racer?

2.5 you can drive it like a boy racer it wont go its a 58km motor.

Its a donkie.

I also don't drive it hard till its warmed up. It gets new filters every 15 000km I don't care how old it is. If you see the gunk coming out of diesel and the air....filter worth it

Here's another disturbing example

Sometimes I need to get hold of those drip rail molds (those black plastic strip molds for the two gutters on top of the roof - they always crack and brittle, braking off due to the sun's torture).
Recently I sold 2 x Ford Bantams needing these. With the first one I was lucky to get a pair at a scrap yard in decent condition - paid 50 bucks for the pair. With the second bakkie not so lucky...was forced to go to a Ford dealer - R460 for ONE!!!
