Hi all,
Thinking of updating to a 95 cruiser, know of some trouble with the bottom end ie.. crank going at about 100000kms does anyone one else know of any problems with this model and what is the fuel consumption like in a diesel .l know of two people with crank problems just quering if these two are exceptions.At present have a 90 model patrol but dislike the trouble with getting parts, would like to know peoples thoughs on this vehicle and any good or bad experience's you have had. Thanks in Advance..Jason

Jason, The big end problems were only with some of the early 80 series turbo's, a dicky bunch of bearings. By 95 think all problems were ironed out. We have a 97 turbo, which has 189000 clicks, and no dramas except for a rebuilt injector pump. Our roads are s'house, by most peoples standards, and it is holding up pretty
well. It better, I want to go touring when we retire! Work on 7 km/L economy, travelling from
Winton area to
Brisbane or Mt Isa, and up to 9km/L round Brissy. if you get a turbo, put a 3" exhaust on it, worth very $. Long range tank is good too, get from here to
Toowoomba without refueling - 1450 km. plenty of AM gear for them too. Regards....
