I was looking at getting an insect screen for the front of 3lt Patrol but was told by someone the other day that they are not recommended for the 3lt only the 4.2lt is this correct and if so what other options are there.

You could try my solution used for the past 8 years: get course wire mesh (1cm squares), cut to the size of the centre section of bull bar and tie it on with cable ties. This acts as a really good stone guard and is the support for fly screen material (prefer wire over nylon). The fly mesh is held in place by small wire ties Split 6mm plastic tube along its length and place this along the top edge to protect hands when opening the bonnet. This works. I actually have my
driving lights behind this mesh also - prefering to lose a little in lighting performance for no stone damage
The wire mesh has never needed replacement and cleans really easily
Best regards
