    G’day Lucas Mate!
    Would the seller possibly be up for allowing a compression test?
    Not a huge job but does require the glow plugs and sparky rail thingy to come off temporarily.
    Possibly just let hom know that win loose or draw he gets the elecy contact surfaces cleaned regardless.
    Would hate to see your mate drop anywhere between 6-12k for a replacement second hand to low km rare as Hens teeth donk these days, hence the sticker price

    at that price - is it an original TD42? or a 3L thats had a engine upgrade?

    I know WA prices are ridiculous, but thats cheap for a ridgy didge TD42, but expencive for a re-engined ZD......

    and if it is a ridgy didge, why is it sooooo cheap?

    just my thoughts
    Tidy Whitey - 99 GU TD42Ti - Diesel Gas, (GUIV Turbo & Intercooler 8Lb boost), 33" Micky T's Baja MTZ's, Dual Batt's, Cargo Barrier, rear draws, HID Super Oscars, winch, Grinch & witch attached and more goodies to come

    I would assume it's a td. We aren't crazy here . But yes, it's worth asking the question

    Well it does state, 304k on the car and 240k on the motor so one can only assume it’s a granaded 3l conversion.

    Anyway, still if original TD I think that’s a fair price not really soooo cheap.
    It’s 20 year old car after all.

    Wonder if Nissan can provide info on original engine build using VIN?

    Seller may provide VIN..
