| Now that the govt is supporting gas I just cant see the advantage of having it. It's 90 cpl here ... factor in the extra fuel it uses and it's just not worth it. Another TD5 Steve? I'm wetting myself in laughter ... scol. | |

| Not stuff ups Steve ... lerning curves ... I like the TD5 as a towing vehicle but the newer ones wnt let you use WDH. Not sure if that's a good or bad thing ... I'm still out and about and I haven't put my WDH on for the past few days as I have been on dirt roads and I didn't notice any real difference. Might do the rest of the trip without it and see how I go. It's more when trucks overtake I notice the difference but with the heavier van it may track better than the Jayco. Scol. | |

| Nah Ron it has factory self leveling airbag rear and to use LR's it can bugger the compressor. My other one had the same on it and could'nt use the LR's on that either.

| It was cold mate. I have'nt used it that much but I think its around 10L - 11L / 100k. Higher if lots of very short runs but seems good on Hwy | |

| That's good figures Steve. LEt me know how it goes towing ... I'd never get rid of the Cruiser but I do envy the Disco's fuel economy.

| Thanks Ron. Mate I'd rather a manual I just reckon there is more control with it and better low range gearing. | |
