clive palmer bought a heap to use as fleet vehicles for his yabulu nickel plant operation in townsville. Pieces of crap.

My question is why would you bother when you can get a new dual cab deisel triton for $31 drive away with a 5/10 year warranty. if you can't afford that bit extra then you might have to go second hand quality over new POS

My mate got an extra-cab Triton for $27k drive away & his brother got a dual cab for $28k. He saw the price at a dealer in Townsville online and went to the local Mitsubishi dealer & they matched it.

Thats an awesome price I was happy to get one at 31000, I love it except for one thing the bluetooth in the triton is called that because thats how close you have to get your teeth to the airconditioner vents so you can hear anything coming from the stereo speakers from your phone, i look like a 140 year old man driving when someone calls me on the phone, Dont buy the great wall at least for a few years

What is the problem with gaskets containing asbestos? Unless one is in the habit of pulling heads off motors, then grinding the gaskets up and breathing in the dust, asbestos in a gasket should be pretty safe. There is a massive scare campaign over asbestos directed and funded by big trade unions for political purposes.

You have forgotten about the people who have mined, carted, processed and fitted the asbestos products to the vehicles.

It has taken years to bring the issue to stage in most, if not all first world countries, where the stuff is totally banned, and I'm only guessing but I reckon the asbestos used on the GWs has been sourced from a mine site in a Chinese provence (or some other developing region) where the average labourer has no idea of the death sentence he or she has been handed.

I'm not sure what political purpose you are talking about but if stopping more people from getting asbestos related diseases is the aim then I'm all for the "scare campaign".

^^ What he said. Much of the time about 30% of the fleet are off the road being repaired.

Drove one for the first time yesterday

Just got back from Vietnam, a communist country right next door to China, the vast majority are ridding Honda bikes or driving Toyota's. I never saw one GW in over 2 weeks, under any name, that would make you wonder

Kinda like 'Fosters Lager' for Aussies?
