Re: Mazda bt-50

Looked again as the 200 bhp beast is heavy on road tax

Can get a low mileage 10 yr old one for a price auto with tiptronic 170 bhp

thing is about hiluxes i can get julian at overland cruisers to check it out and service and he is good !

any idea of mpg with demountable on board ?

Re: Fabulous Dutch quality Lelycampers now available in UK!

Gary

thanks for the info, so my next 2 pet peeves about design of demountables are

1. Can we please have a grill

2. Can we get 6kg cyls of the ilk of gaslow or gas it in the lockers

Cheers

Re: Mazda bt-50

3L engine only seems to be on the top of the range one and i hate leather seats

the 2.5 kicks out 140+ bhp enough for a demountable

Re: Mazda bt-50

Morning Richc. I looked at the Mazda when on my search too. My interest was based on a couple of builder mates who run them and have had a good few between them. Both swear by them and like me agree that even having a Japanese badge makes them more reliable than a Ford! yeah is it badge engineering...

Re: General fitness level (here)

I'm under instructions to put weight on so you'll find me taking it easy

My exercise quotient for the weekend is planned to be walking between rigs , introducing myself and bumming a cup of tea (will supply own cup and in true folk festival style it will be clipped to my belt when not in use)

Re: Gas in France

Gas it are also a good alternative that I've used, on my old camper it took me 45 minutes to install , plus a 24 hour wait for a calor - gas it convertor. They also sell all the converters you will need to connect in different parts of europe but by them off the gas it shop on ebay as they are cheap...

Mazda bt-50

I know these are the same thing as a ford ranger but I don't do fords They seem to be reasonably priced 2nd hand, can't seem to find the fault complaints people seem to list for navarras, isuzu rodeos and l200's 140 odd bhp which is good for a demountable carrier So anyone any comments ? do you run ...
