Firstly, What I cannot understand about all of this is whats the point, firstly we have 2 blokes bickering, 1 saying look at my cv and the other says blah blah blah and then we have poor old Briggie Pete trying to play the role of the UN and whats it all about NOWT.... what bugs me is this... When I brought my Maverick I knew what I was getting into ........ rough ride noisey old derv engine, high maintenance costs etc etc but I went ahead and brought anyway, whats the point you may say well heres the punchline fellas DO WHAT IT SAYS WHEN YOU FLIP THE FLAP AND READ "DIESEL" Put DIESEL in it and then with a little luck you can quote an oldsaying "IF IT AINT BROKE DONT FIX IT" Like my old fella used to say when running a 3.5 litre Rover "IF YOU BUY THE DONKEY THEN IT WILL NEED FEEDING" So thats my view and I will be putting only "DIESEL" in mine and when it gets to the point when I feel its getting thirsty I will no doubt sell it and buy something that does MORE MPG, LESS NOISEY, AND CHEAPER RUNNING COSTS.... or if money gets really tight I will buy a moped etc
So there we have it so can we get back to helping one another out and trying to keep these oldish wonderful underestimated 4x4s on the road
