Freak...you sure that your glow plugs going man? I've never had to change this but my mileages went up to 180 000km and mines in the hilux 4x2 worked well. I get the same fumes whenever I run my engine hard.

Patchie will look out for it... thanks.

Well I think it is. Only other thing would be the cold start sensor. But that usually causes the engine to race all the time. Maybe I just need to change my oil?

Van and tray cover looking good man... last estimate I got for something like this in June 2006 was $1200.

When is the next long weekend? March 30th I think? I got some house refurbishing going on weekends so I might not be able to make the run before then. Go ahead and plan for it....If can I will.
