Hello, New to patrols... Have always had toyotas until one day i bought a patrol.
So far all working well... has 300,000km on it... and counting...
Just thought i'd get myself on a forum incase i do have a problem.
Anyone know how long the Mk 4 3litre turbo diesel engines usually last and when you usually start to see problems?
i'm in sydney also and looking to do some occasional 4wd'ing
Thanks
Simon

I'm not overly familar with the 4.3's TD's but the 4.2's are good for 500,000km's.
Hopefully someone else can help you with this.
Welcome to the forum mate. Enjoy the reading.
Sorry Simon but I have to correct our administrator. Simon said: "Mk4 3ltr", not 4.3lt. lololololol hahahahahaQuote:

Welcome to the forum Simon.
There is no reason a properly maintained Series 4 ZD30 should not last at least 4-500,000km. As with any turbo diesel it's a good idea to fit boost and pyro (exhaust gas temperature) gauges to keep an eye on the engine.

Great, thanks for the welcome. Will hit some of you up to go on a 4wd'ing trip soon. Just have to tidy up a few things on the car and fix a few little niggling electrical things then i'm keen! Oh also have to get the mrs to give birth and then get some sleep... Can't wait to be a dad!

G'Day Simon, welcome to the forum mate.
And good luck with the birth and fatherhood.
