Yes Matt this is the model that had the issues. I had a GUIII (Nov 01 Build) in which they were supposed to have addressed them…they hadn’t! There are
well known issues with the motor blowing, usually around piston No. 4, and with the 5th gear splines not being long enough and shredding. I had both happen to me. If I were you I’d have a good look on the Patrol 4x4
forum or buy a vehicle where the motor has already been replaced (I sold
mine a couple of months ago…sorry).
Patrol 4x4 forum and site
Cheers Mick
