Looking into buying a GU and am looking for some advise

[lukebrah]

G'day

I'm looking at buying my first patrol. The particular car I am looking at is an 03 4.2l model with manual transmission! It has done 210,000km. Just wondering if there are any certain problems with this model that I should be cautious of? And for a bit of advise with this Particular model.

Cheers

gidday nice choice . not long got one myself . take the oil cap off and check for fumes {blow by} also stick ya finger in checking for sludge ,turn motor of first !! check the rear seel they are prone to leeking , it may look like it is , but could also be oil that is spilt while changing the filters , there are 2 and you cant help but spill some , give it a good going over because a good one is high $$$$$

cheers
