  1. Thanks for the responses. Sorry for the late responses as I was unable to check the site. Went with 5W40 synthetic. Thanks for the tips on fluid replacement, I suspect those may not have been done on schedule. No record of timing belt replacement unfortunately.
  2. Just bought a Montero. It has done 147,000 km. I want to do an engine flush and oil change but a little confused. The previous owner said he used 0W-20 Synthetic. Unit#d Mot#rs recommends 10W-30. I am considering using 5W-40 Synthetic. I will not be putting a lot of kilometres on the car as it's not a daily driver. So definitely not 5000 km in one year.
  3. Looking to buy a short wheel base Montero, 2001 upwards. Saw one which is 2003, 3.5 GDI. 1. Are there issues with the engine? Is the V6 or the diesel more favourable? 2. A friend who has a 2001 3L V6 says not to touch GDI. Also that short wheel base has a poor market. 3. The vehicle has 160,000 km, and 11 previous owners. 18 on the book including leasing companies. 4. What's a reasonable price for this vehicle? Thanks.
  4. Hi guys, I used the tyre repair kit in my Aqua and wondering where I can get a refill /new liquid. And what is the compatibility of a non Toyota tyre repair liquid with the same pump and equipment. Thanks.
  5. Thanks for taking the time to respond in detail @iRage, @kush and @matroska. The CRV seems to be the favourite. Should I be worried that the vehicle will be almost 6 years old and that there might be added maintenance issues/costs that I'll have to face? As opposed to a 2 year old vehicle in the list like a Vezel or Q2? The Harrier also looks like a good option, bt again the age worries me a little.
  6. Hello everyone. Looking for some direction regarding buying a used SUV. I have shortlisted the following and would appreciate it if anyone who owns one or has any experience can give me some feedback to make a decision. Or any other potential vehicle I have missed? Honda CRV (2014/15), Honda Vezel (2016/17/18), Nissan X-Trail (2015/16), Audi Q2, Suzuki Vitara Boosterjet (2019), MG ZS. My priorities are reliability, practicality, resale value and driving pleasure (in that order). Not very fussed on fuel economy. Concerns about the Vezel DCT and X-Trail transmission issues.
