General comments?
Hi-ace is very good workmate!!
It really is.
Never problems in winter time,
even -32C starts without outside help-
of course by using fully synhtetical oils,
additives for fuel and with double accumulators (140 Ah)
Fuel consumption is 7,5-9 l/100 km
Good braking and steering system
Some problems are only-in wintertime don´t drive into deep snow with out load
The body needs a good rost stop, especially if salt are used in wintertime
Engine noise at speed more 100 km/h.
