The 4.2 EFI love the juice but leave the rest in standard form for dead ........
I personally wouldn't touch anything less than 4.2 L, but your budget will determine what you can or cant get

L28s are a mighty tuff little motor
I run one in my MK shorty, screams its lungs out, bit light on torque compared to the diesels, bit tuff as hell ....

Wouldn't touch anything less than 4.2 L,be that diesel or petrol

Head over to P4x4, some over there have done it,but many don't due to road laws
I think your right ,ive seen it somewhere else ,also ....
If you don't have a shroud,fit one
If you have one and done what you mentioned,and its still running hot, go get the radiator flushed by a rad shop ....
90 % of cooling issues are blocked radiators...
Youll need to know someone who can turn a blind eye,for the road worthy
But once that's done,it wont make it legal,and you get pulled over youll get the fines and demerit point issue
Too costly,many have tried, not many have succeeded
The price a GQ can be had for, its a far better alternative
New shocks,pins,bushes,nice spring packs can be fine , but its a commercial based 4x4...

Sounds like the glow plugs,hard to start, abit of cranking to start,abit of white smoke and diesel smell
Look into new glow plugs, there not overly dear,and last sometimes a good few hundred...
White smoke is unburnt diesel,isnt it ???
Fairly common with diesels that don't start easy with dead or half dead glow plugs
Sounds like its a wild goose chase ....
Give the system a proper check over, clean , maybe full system flush, bleed correctly and adjust then make a decision
GQ master cylinders have a bigger bore...
Check out wreckers,scrappies,or other places,maybe local paper for people stripping them ???
These seats never get removed or swapped over,so just about every damaged,bent,busted patrol should still...
They usually say that most ultra clean workshops charge more for cleanliness,and all the untidy places ive been to know their stuff
