Gday Just came back from a few weeks heading across the Simpson/Hay River/Gulf. I've had the engine light come on regular as clockwork after about 30 mins of driving on any type of corrugation. Usually the fuel tank was at or below half. From what I've read/been advised it seems to be caused...

They're a special bunch round that part of the world... http://smh.drive.com.au/motor-news/driving-on-drugs--with-no-steering-wheel-20130723-2qgn4.html Driving unregistered and uninsured were the least of an Adelaide man's problems when he was pulled over in the city's north-eastern...

Thanks for the replys. I guess it's always the horror stories that stick in your mind the most. The reality is it's probably less than 10% of trucks that have a problem with the turbo prematurely. Thanks for the links Old.Tony. Awesome info. Much appreciated. The Nav i'm looking at is an...
