Man, my world turned upside down when I saw the most positive man, Ryan, of all people, sad and defeated. So glad for you and me and all of us that you found your bearings and so much positivity again to make it on a new trip with just a few days of preparation. What an example of resilience and positivity. And you know; what you radiate, you receive. Goes to show.

@@4x4ventures_southafrica allthough it made me sad with you, my compliments for laying bare your soul there. Important example for people who struggle not to keep it inside and for overlanders to see the struggles and not only the shiny parts. The highs get even higher thanks to the lows. Enjoy your trips to the fullest. Ps in july 23 was in Robins and on that same small road a.o past chingahobe dam (was it really detema in the film, and not chingahobe, if so boy it was dried out). Will be back in Hwange this year (and all of the zimparks).

Good work 👍 Have witnessed this scenario over landing my way around Australia yes modern diesels are not tolerant to low grade/contaminated fuel maybe something to consider is to use a high quality filter funnel which pre filters while filling at the fuel pump also gives you a chance to visually check what’s going into the tank also if you haven’t already got a good aftermarket pre filter separator with warning light additionally to what the cars factory filters these things will buy you some preventative insurance so you get a long life from your new motor I in fact run a twenty yrld petrol car because I don’t trust modern diesel cars in super remote places but that’s not for everyone I know JA

The chaps at Ford did it under heir suggestion. EGR stands for exhaust gas regulator. Apparently it somewhat hinder performance in due respect of controlling emissions. Blanking this outlet is simple and is apparently good for the motor as it dispels heat and breathes better? Hope I’m right

My biggest concern moving on would be fuel, so vital to get quality fuel. Maybe consider building a trailer that will carry fuel . Expedition overland has a nice set-up for fuel.

Yuuuup, fuel quality is a major concern for us absolutely. We often joke about carrying fuel trailers. Crazy to think that that’s what it’s come to. We have installed extra fuel filters, but, it seems we have to find another way.

You can drive anything if you have great dealer support. In today’s market none of the big motor company names can afford to put junk out. Safe travels boeta.

Only 147,000km? My D4D has 440,000 and other one 220,000km - neither skipped a beat - yet. SA Ford are totally useless - they would not help me when I had trouble with a very crooked Ford dealer - I vowed never to buy one again. After 1 million km with Ford - I switched. Glad you got sorted.

I think he meant 147K km of hard overlanding...if that is the case, it's impressive. Any engine will give trouble at some point if it is abused - like the Cruiser 200 and the Fortuner of his friends who travels with him

The dealers are only helping because there's a camera and a following nothing else! Funny enough the new Ama/Fords are already having failures on the LION V6
