got told a VW Amorak turbo diesel was a good strong vehical with loads of torque, yeah right. took one for a test drive since we are looking to upgrade our company fleet. will NOT be upgrading with VW Amoraks thats for sure, we would buy high maint Toyotas or bad chassis Navaras before we would buy a Amorak.

Actuallyignoring comments from people who clearly show they whouldn't know what end of the spanner to use to do up a philips screw. The very worst advise was "Ohh no you don't/won't need a warranty for one of those" refering to a car with a rep for blowing gearboxes.
I do wonder if people were required to put money where mouth is backing up their advice if they would be sayinmg the same stuff

Just the other day "run turbos on low octane because they are low compression" Worst advice ever!

Yes well you know that, and I know that, but what constitutes complete vehicle maintenance is a totally foreign concept to many motorists here. Because most people have been fed a diet of castoff vehicles from another country for the last 25 years they wouldn't know what a manufacturers service booklet looked like, let alone how to follow it.Its far easier to behave like sheep and let a wof inspector tell them whats about to fall off every six months and plead ignorance/whinge when the cambelt breaks or the auto dies from years of swimming in its own liquid faeces. People here pay a fortune for orphan jap domestic models that really aren't that good to start with and would be regarded with suspicion and next to unsaleable in other countries.I often deal with immigrants from the UK and can't believe how much more knowledge they have about how their cars work and recognise the need for good service compared to most kiwis.

Does a Toyota Estima count as the soccer mum set or just the samoan mum set!
Theres a big difference for the genuine soccer mums you know.

so true, but most kiwis have become so maorified over the last generation or so they have lost the civilized British attitude towards motoring in the true sense, those glorious blasts down a country lane, Eh! what-ho

I don't BUY pos euro's as a matter of choice. They are trade ins needing disposal. The NZ army thanked me profusely for donating fiat punto's and multiplas as gunnery practice but aparently they had to be dinged up a bit first as they are so ugly the gunner was struggling to aim at them his eyes were streaming so badly.
