You means the rubber cylinder thing which act as the spring spoiled? how could it be? it was design to used up to 15 years. i think discovery 2 is still new right?

WTF ??? 380km for full tank ?!?!?!?!?! that OMFG !!! thats bad ler wei !

my friend @ the cameron farm is also using the discovery 2 also...blardy hell he spent almost 30k on his repair bills annually...i heard it has lotsa electrical problems rite?

Anyone know if price of pick-up will increase next year with the new National Automotive Policy. I read somewhere 4x4 will increase in price, but will that affect pickup as well.

Most probably because pickups are categorized under 4x4s by the customs

yeah, now the fortuner 2.5L cost RM171k n 2.7L RM185k w/o insurance, my dad got lucky got the very last unit b4 the price increased, brr.....

i will say european car not like japanese car,it got specific time to change the parts

Discovery 2 really damn expensive in service and not any ppl can FEED it

front windscreen wiper rubber RM150 per set and it only can stand for 3 months,just imagine

wat i can say is european car tends to got problem but japanese are not,they say the thing can use for 3 years but we still can use it after 3 years,unlike european "cukup masa,tukar then MONEY KELUAR,then sakit hati"

my dad C200K also like that,after 3 years,wheel bearing spoilt and then now may be need change gear box liao,should be RM20K

ya~ that's true, most european car were design with limited life span. But there's one japan brand also put 'time bomb' in their parts as well. HONDA. I'm in car's spare parts business and found out that some parts for HONDA were design with fragile parts which will ware out in 1~2 years. So is for the CRV's suspension.

I'm now in australia.
The hilux here has a 4.0 petrol engine or a 3.0 turbo diesel
i wonder how much fuel that thing drinks.

They have some funny options tho. Some come with the same rear tray like our M'sian hilux but some just have like a lorry back.



turbo air scoop!



prices! multiply by 2.8~2.9 to get ringgit
* 4.0L VVT-i V6 Petrol 5 spd Manual Pickup from $47,420
* 4.0L VVT-i V6 Petrol 5 spd Auto Pickup from $49,850
* 3.0L Turbo Diesel 5 spd Manual Pickup from $49,920
* 3.0L Turbo Diesel 4 spd Auto Pickup from $51,850

Yup, my dad's old CRV (97 model) must replace the stupid absorbers. It seems that most CRV's had the same problem.

Cool...3 litre turbo diesel...hmmm but things for us don't seem to bright though...There are rumours that diesel would rise to rm2.10 per litre. I don't think it would happen though becoz the ministry would be confronted by discontent public vehicle operators and transportation services. Furthermore, diesel (Euro-2) have friendlier emissions compared to cars these days so they should promote diesel engines as a viable solution.

Btw, a friend of mine @ mutiara motors KL has suggested to me to put an intercooler for my hilux. FYI, they are the official distributers of G-reddy products in Malaysia and Im not really interested @ it for the moment. If anyone here is interested, I could ask him to help fit a G-reddy intercooler kit in.

3.0L trubo, sound like 1KZ to me, many Land Cruser II have drop that engine into their hood.

check out the latest motor trader....there is some new hilux gear....its like a mask for our hilux lol....i wann to get it !!!!

isn't it the car bra?...erkk...don't really like the design....

anyway...anyone knows how much it cost ?....
