Is the 550 before or after the turbo?

Thanks guys for all the input. Seems crd or 4.2 would be the way to go. Wouldn't mind crd as I have a 2013 crd hiace and that little engine is awesome to drive, I do understand a patrol is heavier lol.
Would you say $22k is a realistic budget for something good with quite a bit of touring gear?
Thought I'd also ad, our camper weights about 2ton empty.

For $22k you will probably find a 98 - 2002 TD42. You should be able to find a later CRD for that kind of money to id have thought although i have not been looking.

Thanks guys.

So a new issue popped up while researching common rail patrols, "fuel consumption" , is this so?

There is a fuel consumption thread on the forum with heaps of real world figures.

I found that my Patrol was better than some and worse than others overall to any of the similar vehicles in our work fleet.

FWIW I averaged 12.5 LPH out of my series 5 over more than 200,000 K's.
My camper was approx 1200 Kg tho.
The vehicle was chipped and 3 inch exhaust with EGR blocked
