4.2TD GU Intercooled Patrol

Gidday Folks, On the vic long weekned I had the misfortune to put my 4.2td gu in the drink, water over the dash which resulted in it being written off. The motor was ok though as it did not get water in the intake, the water over the ignition did the stopping for us. I am looking to update to the new 4.2 intercooled Patrol and although familiar with the car anyone got any little tips. I will have to find a new home for the Twine heat exchanger due to the intercooler being in the way.

On another note I have to give a plug for the guys at AERIAL Motors in Heyfield for their efforts in finally getting my car out of the river 36 hours later at 2.00am in the morning ( and yes it was bloody cold). It was great to finally get a positive out of all this. They do 4wd recovery around the Gippsland area and nothing presents an obstacle. Also a chap named Brendon and another chap whose name I cannot remember for their help as well. We had plenty of recovery gear but what we required was a cable with 120 foot in length due to the flow in the river trying to take the straps downsteram and virtually impossible to control. I was with our local 4wd club and their assistance was greatly appreciated.

Look forward to finally getting across the river (in 1 piece)
