Buying A 2011 GU with 120,000km - what to look out for
Hey guys
I'm looking at buying my first patrol. Request some advice about what I should be looking out for with a turbo diesel at this age.
Got any tips or advice that might prevent an unwanted surprise in my shed in a couple weeks? Would appreciate any insights before I send the nrma mobile bloke over to do his inspection.
Cheers!

I think like with any vehicle but more so with these is service records to show it has been regularly serviced.

I am he, fear me
Regular servicing
Fuel Pump Leaks
Intercooler Leaks
Coolant Leaks
Manifold Gasket Leaks (thanks Kev)
Swivel Hub Leaks
Oil weep from drivers side front of block
80 KPH death wobble
2011 and 120 K sounds like an ex-Lease Vehicle to me

Dolphins are so smart that within a few weeks of captivity, they can train people to stand on the very edge of the pool and throw them fish.

X 2 on the coolant leak, hard to spot as well, look underneath for signs of off road use.
An oily intercooler will mean its leaking, but warranty should cover that .
History,,,, history,,,,, history, make sure your book is stamped and check
what has been changed under any recalls
