Went to Isuzu today to get a quote for a new Ute. The quote had to consist of a CVM upgrade, they refused, saying that the up-grade is not legal, as while the new suspension is legal, the vehicle is tested and rated for the vehicles stated CVM. I said the magic figure of towing 3500kg is to do with European Dr...

Hi Forum. In April next year I plan to buy a Prado. I was looking at a model a few years old but a friend said if I can 'extend myself' to buy new to avoid problems with the diesel particulate filter. Does anyone have an opinion? Thanks

Hey there everyone, i have had some great advice on this site so thank you! I do have another question in relation to my motorhome floor.

We've folded up the middle seats in our Pajero and I'm contemplating actually removing one of them, mainly as a weight saving. Anyone have links to road rules that either say it's clearly illegal? or that it's legal?

We've had significant issues with our 3 way Dometic fridge and are contemplating replacing it with a conventional fridge as we have over 400w of solar and a 200 amp hour lithium battery.
