looks pretty good for its age in the photos, cybernought. I had an L28 engined '82 wagon. Rust was the biggest problem it had :-)
Read somewhere in the forum trannies get busted when they get to 300K...any comment much appreciated.
hi man, nice ride, looks realy good, wish I have wheel holder like you have on a tail- in europe cant find one- no way...
doesn't look to bad for it's age mate......... welcome to the forum
Yeah mate that looks in good shape for It's age...Well done and welcome to the forum!
Not likely
Dont get the 2.8 dreaded issues you read confused here
You have an L28 engined patrol , these are the same 2.8 petrols in the nissan Z cars,very very robust engines and looove to rev
Most of 2.8 issues you read mostly regard to the RD28 (2.8 diesel) in the later GU series
Yours will have a remote tranfer case being a LWB,these transfer case are in demand and can handle tuff V8s power running threw them
The only downside with the L28 powered MQ/MKs are there love of fuel , very thirsty, but that aside keep the services up , and theyll go forever
