    Mazda Bravo engine clogged
    Answered by CarsGuide team · 3 February 2011

    From what you have told us it would seem that it’s not the engine itself, the top-end has been rebuilt without solving the problem, and rebuilding the bottom-end is unlikely to fix it either. I would be looking at the places where oil and coolant could interchange, such as the intercooler, turbo etc.

    Ethanol concerns
    Answered by Carsguide.com.au · 16 August 2007

    THERE won't be any problems from light blends like these. You would strike problems only with much higher blends of ethanol. You would then have to consider changing seals in the fuel system. I wouldn't be concerned about the proposed blends.

    Is a two-wheel-drive or four-wheel-drive ute better for towing?
    Answered by Graham Smith · 20 July 2006

    Unless you need a vehicle capable of driving over rough or slippery ground, I would buy a 2WD diesel ute. It will be more economical than a 4WD and will tow your trailer without problems. Your budget will get you an upmarket ute. Look at the Toyota Hilux or new Mitsubishi Triton. Also, there are good deals available on the Mazda Bravo and Ford Courier for much less. For little more than $20,000 you'll get a 2WD diesel with a tray and toolbox.
