Peter, as always, I respect your views and it is not disparaging. Thanks! Nissan certainly did get a few things right. Also, I do not want to re-open a now-tired debate on the Lexus. But in my case, if Nissan were really that thorough in all respects of their designs, I would not have had to undergo an engine replacement in the first place.

Oom Mac remains a die hard fan of the ZD30. That is his prerogative. But I could seriously never ever trust that poor excuse of an engine again (spark plugs, or no spark plugs). The stats speak for themselves. It is just common sense talking and I certainly do not regret having been pragmatic.

Back on topic: Is there really no place anyone knows of in Jhb where one can get one's chassis properly cleaned?

If I start a Chassis Cleen in Midrand / Kempton or such .. will you okes support me?? :-)

Hi All,

I am probably lucky in this regard, I have a play pit (chimes) about 3km from my house, and a cleaning pit about 500m from my house.

Ai, dis lekker hier in Kommin Land (Benoni)

Yes, perhaps combine it with the option to regrease the universals?
I would prefer Midrand- but any residential area may be more visible and therefore I think successful.
But if you brand it specifically as a 4x4 chassis & valet?....I think there is a real gap.

Stafaanusss ?? Waa inni Ben-ooni kry jy sulke geriewe ?? Ek wasdaar booooo in Elizabeth Str [maar chassis moet ik Garsfontein toe piekel ??

Nee Oom,

Ken Oom die Northmead Mall? Daar langs die ou Mona Lisa( dis nou n MyChina). Daar is n Zennex garage met n chassis cleaning pit, ek dink hulle vra R50 of R60

Grant you know those real trucks without spark plugs? You should see how they struggle in the dunes..............
he he

hehehe....dig dig dig.....

There will never be a truce between the diesel and petrol boys....

BUT.... at least it's a Patrol !!!

But my diesel got there and back on one tank.

Real Trucks do not have spark plugs
