if was an oil buner it mite start but it wouldnt run for long.

new fuel, oil ( and filters ) and a can full of " Start ya Bastard " ( i love the fact they named it that ) and she will start. It is a HiLux afterall. If you saw what they did to the one on Top Gear you would have faith.

PS : HOw did the windscreen break ? It looks intact in the Tide out photo but broken when back in the yard ! Was the car just dragged out using brute force chassis could be compromised.

The problem with pulling a car out of that sort of tide..and soft sand, is if you don't use brute force...and a lot of common sense ..the person doing the pulling out will also end up the same way
I Have seen cars that have just been left forever,..up past Broome!..
Just because, ...there is no way in hell to get it out!...
That sand can become like cement..

I have seen a big yellow tractor thingy...go in to get a car out of the sand and then get stuck..and then ... having to wait for a big tide 11 metres, to pull the tractor and car out..and by that time the car and tractor are cactus.
It's usually people that have not got a clue about the tides in the north of Australia.

isnt the sand hard up that way ?surely you could get it out in time,whats the story?
