Hey guy's hope all is well out there....hope you got out and had fun over the christmas new year period...... Just wondering what model my patrol is ive had arguments over it at 4x4 accessory stores latley and need to confirm its an '86 sd33 swb non turbo 5 speed i just need to know if its mk mq gq etc any help would be appreiciated thank's
Definatly not a GQ, I'll have to say a 1986 MK...
Anyone else?
Square headlights looks like MK to me. Hopefully Tim will be on in a few hours to confirm or correct.

Yeah mate, as others have said its NOT A GQ. It's an "M" something but not sure whether its a MK or MQ?
Square headlights suggests MK, although I thought all MK SD33 post 85 were Turbo? Does it have 4 or 5 spd? Not saying this is the case but I have seen plenty around where body swaps were done due to serious rust. Do you have the VIN and have you checked it against the chassis number? Your local dealer should be able to tell you by punching the VIN in to FAST
Thankyou!! it's been kicking around the family for 11 - 12 years now and ive always had trouble getting parts for it (as i've done all the servicing on the thing.) and everyone's got there own ideas on what model it is..... Before we bought it it was in a rollover so i'd say it had a round headlight front, i've come to this conclusion for the following reasons: the inner guards have obvious signs of crumpling and left hand side has had a split welded up, and also the parker globes in the headlight itself bottom out on the nose cone panel behind the grille and there not even connected its only got the lower parkers connected, its also got a five speed, once again guy's thank's heaps for your assistance it probably saved a punch up or two but any more info you can provide would be a great help.

The grill (Rectangle headlights)MK
The 3 coloured taillights,there MQ (MK have seperate indicators lense,and the top lense on the MK will be red,not amber)
86 will be MK
5 speed denotes possibly MK also
They did make a non turbo SD33 in the MK range
Most parts like grill,tailights,steering wheel,front stone tray ect are interchangable between the MQ/MK
12V diesel usually is MK
24V diesel usually is MQ
ID numbers is best for factory recognition
Nice reply mate!Quote:
