Only thing I'm concerned about which i have read is the early tining belt failure (this will be due in 10k) and the egr issues with overheating

Great find there mate. We have one and it's been bulletproof for 3 years. Get the timing belt done asap. They commonly go before 120k that the book says. They aren't that expensive as they are easy to access. Otherwise a great ute. Auto or Man?

Manual mate. Have you done anything with the egr or cooling system?

Nothing really. Cleaned the sensor in the egr once. Only other advice I'd give is be careful towing in 5th. We have a 1.6t camper we tow and had no issues but I'm straight out of 5th the first sign of loading up the drive train with a hill etc. Done a heap of 4wding and towing. All good. We are just running 15in Sunraysia style steelies with 31in tyres. Standard suspension with airbags. I would upgrade the rear springs rather than airbags if I did it again.

I wonder if that's related to the oil change problem and somewhere along the line there's no oil pressure for a short time until it's noticed and looked into and addressed?  You could easily imagine a few mech shops early on not wanting to tell the owner about it if it happened when they were servicing it but eventually the problem manifests itself like that premature main bearing failure.

he's got no idea what went wrong....he was saying just last night he has a mate with the exact same vehicle that's been doing the same travels he has (grey nomad towing a van all over Australia) had no problems at all....it's all pot luck I guess.
