I'm looking at buying a 2002 TF Rodeo with the 3 lt inter cooled turbo diesel engine. I've never heard any bad things about the old 2.8 lt diesels (except the rattling) and the new 3lt In the RA Rodeos seem to be getting a good wrap to, so what is the 3 lt in the last of the TF Rodeos like? Are they the same engine that's in the current RA or are they more like the old Jackaroo 3 lts? Brian,since you own one of these diesels, I'd be very interested to hear your comments on your Rodeo.
Cheers
Steve

Something to watch is the flywheel on these if it is the same as the flywheel in the Jackaroo.
We had an issue with one that was in a workshop and they couldn't get it to start. A call to City Holden in
Adelaide had the problem sorted. It was to do with the flywheel also doing the timing, apparently they get calls regularly with this.
Believe it has a (dual mass? or fluid) style flywheel which helps reduce vibration but is expensive to replace. Probably worth getting it checked or something with a service history you can
check on.
Something to be aware of if you need to do work on. Also believe the injectors are quite expensive (but most people complain about the cost regardless of make so not sure they are any worse)
Hopefully others more knowledgeable can explain this better!
