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

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?
