I have not said there is no injector issue, there obviously is, plenty of people have needed to replace these.
I am, and have said this before that I am in this thread "specifically" saying that a figure of 10% of D4D Prados having catastrophic failures is BS. If it were true anyone should be able to quickly point out the several hundred forum members here that have had issues, prove me wrong, bring up the hundreds of examples on this forum of blown motors (not just injectors that need changing).
If you read the Hilux forum you will find a long injector thread and loads of people taliking about rattly injectors and injectors out of spec and needing to change them, but I took the time to read the entire thread over there the other day and didn't find a single mention of an engine actually going bang.
As regards the stats thing being important to me, I only chimed in on this thread becasue 10% was quoted, and I questioned the accuracy of that 10%, mathematically the figures supplied to justify the figure were wrong, the annecdotal evidence on this forum doesn't support the figure either.
It is important that people question what other people post, thats what makes it a forum, interaction, questioning, learning. If my ascertation of 10% being BS then the numbers on this forum would show I was wrong and anyone here should easily be able to find the hundreds of cases that would indicate it was true, but nobody seems to be showing me those numbers to justify their statements.
No I am not scared about owning one, in fact I have intentions of buying another one when finances allow, I am very happy with my D4D and intend to hang onto it for a long time to come, so resale value means little to me as I am not planning on selling it in the forseable future.
