Hi guys,

very nice forum and community you have here with lots of great info. Im on the cusp of buying my first patrol (a 2011 3Ltr CRD auto wagon) - very excited! Am trying to keep my head on my shoulders and be objective with the purchase, can you enlighten me on anything I should check before I buy? Its got 120,000km on it and everything looks like its in great condition. All looks straight underneath and drives well. Just wondering if theres something i might be overlooking. I havent had a diesel before either. Would you advise getting an independent mechanical check before i hand over my cabbage?

Again, great to be here.
