G'day all, a question for the brains trust.
We are looking at updating our beloved NM and have been looking at getting another V6. The main reason for this is that the Paj is the wife's daily driver, and it only goes about 5 kms each way to work. The question is, is this kind of driving as bad for a diesel as I think it is, or am I over thinking it, and a diesel will be ok so long as we keep it well serviced?
I've always been lead to believe that this kind of short trip driving is no good for a diesel. Is that the case?
To add though, the Paj will be used for 4x4ing and camping trips, so it will go for a decent run every so often, once a month maybe.
We are looking at NP and NS, which one would be more tolerant of this kind of operating conditions? (Exclude DPF issues in the NS due to this type of driving, I'm already aware of this)
Thanks in advance
