I thought I'd introduce myself before I go throwing any questions around. Hello all, my name is Paddy
I don't know a whole lot about engines/vehicles. I bought myself an old Patrol about 6 months ago with the hope of having a bit of fun and learning my way around the mechanics. I had a mechanic look it over before I bought it and he told me there was nothing seriously wrong with it so bought it. The air intake in the engine had a big hole in it and I taped that up and the overflow/extension tank for the radiator seems to have melted big holes in it, but it generally runs very well. I've got a new reservoir coming in the post.
I think it's a GQ Y60 1989 COMM. 1989 is what it was sold as and that's what the rego says. I've put up a picture of the badge under the bonnet.
74183
The badge says 2/92, is that Feb '92? Probably a stupid question but I'm very new to this.
Anyhow, hope to learn plenty here from all you patrol veterans
