Hi There Everyone,
My Name is Aaron
Im very humbly retired and am thinking of buying a sec hand 1/2002 Y61 Patrol from local car yard.
its an ST 4 cylinder diesel done 339000 kms.
No documented service history known.
Has gone up to Kakadu couple times it seems by its stickers.
Manual transmission.
What things should I look for in engine - was told oil leaks near turbo and something about a mod to engine to stop detonation and engine exploding - fitting some metal plate that prevents buildup of contamination on MAF sensor was issue 2002 upwards for a while.
Planning on RACQ inspection but they dont know everything about these engines.
Every second person I know seems to own a Patrol so they must be good.
