I have had v8 fords and v8 holdens that have cost more to fix in a shorter time.

I love my disco and would not give it up for anything else on the road.

cheers steve

What'd the nozzles cost you?

I just got a call from the place I posted mine off to, they're poked. Looks like $NZ700.
If I was getting 30mpg from the truck with nozzles that bad, what's it going to go like with new ones?
I recall about $300-400AUD, but that was 4 years ago. They told me the nozzles were about 60% gone. I didn't really notice a difference afterwards.
