Brian,
They have a few small problems, check www.offroad.au.com or the Patrol
forum on Yahoo...
They have a tendency to brake the serpentine belt pulley when driven through water/mud (the engine sits too far back almost in line with the front axle)...
The early ones had some engine problems, and they still have computer problems which is apparently altitude compensation, they are testing a new fix apparently...
All the diesel specialist say the pump is not very resistant to bad fuel ie: one load of bad fuel and thats it for the pump ($6000) apparently.... they are not rebuildable like the 4.2 or even like the new 4.2 cruiser...
