Buying New What would you buy and why

What are the emissions requirements in Australia at the moment and proposed? Vehicles for sale in Europe all have to meet euro VI standards, which to say the least is troublesome and really requires a full R&M deal from the supplying dealer.These may not be what is offered in Australia. We saw a few weeks ago from a troubleshooting request that the specification and legal construction requirements differ from what we are used to in Europe.

Just about everything affecting vehicle reliability and performance depends on operating conditions, some problems encountered by an operator in one part of the country on particular work may well be unheard of elsewhere ,so it is difficult to translate UK experience to the other side of the world with accuracy.

We can however try, but the number one priority is going to be what has already been mentioned several times - dealer support.
