Hi, for years I have been considering a 4WD. We own a van and I have the opportunity now to change vehicles. I am looking at a 2002 3litre diesel ST GU II. In other forums, I have read over the years that these motors presented problems $$$ around the 130k mark. What is some of your opinions of this year / model engine please? Are they as bad as they write. A couple of people I have spoken with at parks have nothing but praise for theirs. (however they were petrol models). Any opioion on this year model is very much appreciated. Thanks.

Hi Mate, Welcome to the forum! I was shopping around for a Patrol last month and after talking with a few 4x4 specialists in the area and all them recommended me to get a 4.2 or 4.5 liters.
