I am really happy with the vehicle and noticed how effortlesly it climbs the hills, as was the case on my trip to Anglesea. I'm using Caltex Vortex and will stay on it as I've heard good reports. It's also pretty affordable for premium diesel.
All in all, a big thumbs up!

very nice indeed, if i may ask , do you know if the little diesel needs any special servicing over the petrol unit, i know a lot of small petrol engines need the cam belt changed every 100,000 k`s commonly, particulate filter?
