Same with the old faithful TD42 Nissans. Keep em serviced and treat them right and they just don't stop - it is getting harder to find them though same as the Toyota's. The modern gear is built lighter and blown to within 6 thou of it's limits just to save emissions - the irony being when you load them up they return worse fuel economy than the newer gear. I still struggle to understand how in some cases burning 50% more fuel with the more modern gear to save the environment actually ends up reducing emissions, especially CO2 out of the tailpipe which can't be converted like the nitrous oxides or carbon particles.
