Hi Legends,
One of ma mate is about to get into a NON turbo 4.2 diesel patrol in another market. He asked me suggestions on performance and reliability or re occurring issues nd other concerns with the non td mill. Some of you might know a lot about them. Is it recommended ?? Does it run the same tranny as we have in td42 ? Is the Non turbo 4.2 comparable to 3.0 l td (common rail) on performance.
Hope it's not a Lemon !!
Hi bud, someone will be asking shortly to answer your question, there are heaps of guys here that can answer it. Can you please just jump over to the intro thread and tell us about yourself. It's something we ask all members to do.
Cheers
Rusty

The 3.0L CRD and Di will leave the N/A TD42 in its dust. Even a factory spec TD42t they will. Having said that, well looked after TD's are super reliable.
As mudski suggested, don't worry about an na td42's performance.. Because there isn't any. It'll likely never let you down though.
Just bolt on a Denco (or similar) turbo and it will go well and long. Did that with my old Maverick and it went fairly rapidlyQuote:

Slow maybe, but they go forever
My 2000 GU 4.2D has 844 000 km on the ODO with no issues at all
Yes 844 thousand
That's very very very VERY impressiveQuote:

I did just over 5,600kms in mine in the last 12 months.
