We have just bought a turbo diesel 1985 MQ Patrol it has done 370000kms. Can anyone tell me roughly how long these motors do last. What are their capabilities off road (before we dare to do anything too hard)? What are the specs on the motor -(hp, torque, fuel consumption.) Has anyone had any problems, any ideas, tips. And where is the best place for parts as it needs a few finishing touches.
We should have researched a bit better but a guy came in off the street and offered to swap it for our rusty old vl commodore that was for sale, we were looking for another 4wd so we got it checked by a mechanic and now it's ours. It has no rust, is straight and the interior is pretty good. The only downfall is that the paint on the roof and bonnet is a bit faded which will hopefully come up with a good buff and the frames around the rear sliding windows are a bit rusty ( well yes there is rust, but only here).Does anyone know if you can purchase these frames new and how much?
Thanks
