2 things 2.4's hate are hills and sand. They were not a bad donk but low on grunt. Hope you smoke as you will have plenty of spare time as you travel.

cheers

Hi,

want mine? It's a dual cab turbo with Power steering. Just needs paint and some carpet.

The 2L is a reliable motor but crap on sand.

Cheers
