Re: How to spot a 3.0 crd?

I understand that the CRD is far more reliable, but I have heard of them packing up. Whether it's better or worse than any other 3l common-rail TDI out there, I just don't know. Once an engien has a reputation, it tends to not only stick but even spread out. There are guys who love them and say they...

Re: How to spot a 3.0 crd?

Re: Indicator issues.... Please shed some light

The trailer wiring normally comes from the right (mostly).
Parhaps the cable between the right-band lights and the trailer plug got smashed too?

Re: Rust de Winter Bundu 10-12 Oct 2025

For anyone considering this, I can recommend it! Camping on the mountain on Saturday night with special koekies is almost like a rite of passage for every 4x4 driver. It's something different to the usual 4x4 weekend trail. special koekies? :frog: :think: Ja, daai goed is lekker! Maar jy het dalk a...
