Purchasing first MK patrol

[taslucas]

I went and had a look at GQ 1990, its dual fuel works on both petrol and LPG, took it for a drive it ran really well.
It has 2" lift and pretty much new 33" tyres. K's are genuine. I put a deposit down and am picking it up tomorrow. My mechanic quoted me 280 to fix the rear main seal if i supply the gasket, and yes mudrunner i rekon ill replace clutch too when the rear seal gets done.

Thanks for all the advice fellas, im glad I went the GQ rather than an older MK.

Will post pics soon.

Its great this place .....
Firstly asking about over priced MQ/Mks then getting steered in the right direction
No im not being sarcastic......
Reality is why buy something older when newer is around similar money
These old MQ/MKs are a great ol beast,but for 4,5 grand youd have rocks in your head if GQs wernt on the list

The only rocks he'll have to think about now are the ones he'll be crawling over in his new GQ:-)

The MK's never had a 3.5ltr diesel too bud. They were an SD33T, 3.3ltr. Coils are better than leaves but I had an MK shorty 15year ago and it went anywhere my mates GQ shorty would.
I wish I never sold that car too. I wonder where it is now....Hmm

I had a MK LWB that started with a l28 - ended up dropping a rb30 in it - it was a great car. It got knocked off - with the insurance payout I brought a GQ with a TB4.2S donk.

Im very happy with the GQ - its a way better truck.
