Mate, get rid of that thing and do yourself a favour and get a 3.0l mate.

The 4.2’s are overheating cast iron slugs and will give you trouble.

You will never look back.[emoji41]

Haha I feel the love, well I guess in 20000kms you’ll probably have a new 3l yourself.

Absolutely there's difference with larger cranks, stronger conrods and gudgeon sizes, etc etc.

Hopefully someone else can shimmy in here as I can't remember when and what.

There's a few chats on here about it too mate.

Hey Marky, no way I would take your Patrol off you[emoji41]...lol

I do about 10k a year so it would take a while to find out mate
