Hi, I'm looking to purchase a Double cab 4x4 for business and also to use for personal use. I have been looking at the Nissan Navara and also the L200. Does anyone have any info as to which is the best? I am swinging in favour of the Navara at the moment though.

When keeping a turbo diesel engine running but the vehicle is stationary, is it necessary to increase the revs? We were told to do this in Kazakhstan where the temperature was -40 degC and indeed the Toyota Hi-Lux had a manual choke style knob. Something to do with lubrication I think. True?

Sadly the time has come to say goodbye! Will need some TLC and rust sorting out to get its next MOT http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2475652545

I know about the S and the SE, but what's the SR spec that some of the imports have? -- Paul My Lake District walking site (updated 29th September 2003): http://paulrooney.netfirms.com

As far as I can discover, the Grand Vitara has no diff lock. Is this an issue, or does it get around the problem of slip some other way? -- Paul My Lake District walking site (updated 29th September 2003): http://paulrooney.netfirms.com

I thought that bigger was better over there orelse why do they use the HumVee, its as big as a tank, there's a yellow one up here in the north of the UK, it make my disco look like a dinky toy. Peter. "R. David Steele" /OMEGA wrote in message ... Why can't the US get Defender 90s, 110s and 130s?

And why doesn't the US military use the Defender as a basic, and cheaper, vehicle for the average troops? The U.S. Marine anti-terrorist unit uses the Mercedes G series. Works very well for them. Not the landrover, but still it's nice to see them use

R. David Steele wrote: Why can't the US get Defender 90s, 110s and 130s? The main problem is that LR and Ford's marketing dept have trouble seeing where they wouls fit in to the US market. They would be smaller than many US pick-ups but would be more expensive to buy. They do not have the comfort and luxury of a typical US pick-up and most of the market demands this. The sheer utility of a...

Because the average US motorist wouldn't be caught dead driving a diesel of any kind, therefore most automakers don't bother trying to sell them. VW and MB being execptions, but even they don't sell too many. Also, the US government isn't going to spend US taxpayer's money to keep British autoworkers employed, when they have their own workers to "keep employed".
