G'Day all,
I'm currently pondering with the idea of possibly exchanging my Nav for a new patrol at the end of the year.
I'm familiar with the patrol and drive my mates 4.2tdi, but although its about $6k more than the 3.0ltr, and I know the 4.2 is gettin a bit long in the tooth, but I'm thinkin its poss last chance to grab a new vehicle with an engine thats semi
home mechanic friendly. ie a straight 6 without being jam packed with electronics, I know they are still there but not as bad as say the latest Holdens.....big lump of plastic with go away dont touch emanating from it.
I'm also not sure if the 3.0ltr is now DEFINETLY sorted after all the blown piston dramas??
Whats the opinions on the 2 diesel options, go with the technology of the 3.0, or stick with the proven reliable if a bit old designed 4.2??
(was thinking of basic wagon with just bull / tow bar optioned on)
Rgds
