Re: List of vehicle inspection stations in Trinidad & Tobago

Yes I always late! But, this big change from 1 to 2 years inspection for light T was never adequately publicized. I read newspapers and watch news almost every day, and only today was I lucky enough to see this mentioned. I inspected a year ago Feb 2018. My sticker is Feb 2019. Can I now wait for Fe...

Re: Isuzu 4 x 2 owners

I am driving a loner 4x4 2.5 TCC Dmax, while I'm waiting on a new Dmax 4x2. The 3.0 Auto.
The engine is poor, no accelleration, but the ride is really smooth. Better than a BT50 I had before. It's also noisy as hell.
The price of the 3.0 is 203.

The varying idle is the brain trying to save fuel. It reduces the fuel down to a level of stall, and then re-injects to keep engine running (many times per sec). I had same prob with BJ ZM engine.
