hand6.gifhand6.gif  For the diesel.  You gotta love 'em.  Fuel economy and plenty of power when you need it.  I cant wait to see the new Ford Super Duty that comes out in January with an all new diesel power house in it.   yahoo.gif About 400 HP and over 700 lb/ft torque.  WOW!!  Thumbsup3.gif

Very cool and not something we see very often in the States. I think the steering wheel is on the wrong side...;)

cool truck Graham, I like it, original looks and hand6.gif on diesel... I grew up in Europe where Turbo Diesel has been 50-60% of the market for many years... lota of torque when you need it wihtout revving the engine, durability and economy... plus now they ahve great emissions and you cant tell you're driving a diesel except fo the crazy torque at low RPM and low redline!!! CONGRATS!!!cool10.gif

Thanks for the heads up, guys.
Pax, if you look carefully you'll see the steering is actually on the right side!subtlelaugh.gif

Nice looking vehicle!!!  I actually drive a right hand drive car here in the states and it get a lot of stares.  Also, I love diesel powerplants, my dad was a Mercedees dealer for many years and sold many  diesel powered cars, they're sweeeet.  Oh yeah, one more thing, went to the Petit LeMans at Road Atlanta a couple of weeks ago and dang, those diesel powered Audis and Peugots can really "haul the mail" and whisper quiet too.

These are great trucks.  Here in Ireland this is badged as an L200 and would be highly regarded for reliability and durability.  Diesel is the way forward if you want economy and usable torque.

Make sure you keep to regular services and have the oil changed every year, regardless of the manufacturer's specifications.  Regular oil change is vital to the long life of a diesel engine.

Enjoy it.
