Hey, im new to the fourms, i read more than post

I own a 98 GU TB45 Patrol. im looking to convert it over to diesel and turn it into a tourer. Other than that its basically a thirsty track hunter that doesn't disappoint.

Ive been reading into the TD42, buy there's equal negative to positive reviews whats everyone's beef with it? everyone i know that owns the gu td42 loves it and wouldnt give it up for the world

Welcome to the forum mate and feel free to ask any questions.

The TD42 is a pretty reliable engine for an all round purpose. Haters will talk about them overheating but if kept well maintained and radiator clean and in good condition with good airflow there shouldn't be any issues.

I've got a 4.2 TDi, ex Telstra ute with the pod on the back. I don't know much about what's under the bonnet and don't go off road much, but I love it.

It appears to travel better whilst towing a bit of weight behind, rather than empty. My 2 inch lift is about 2 years old.

I can go up many/most hills without having to change down, when empty.

Mine gets log book serviced religiously at 10k.

I turned mine into a tourer with lotsa, and I mean lotsa glamping fruit. lol.

Take care out there.
