I got a petrol with auto because thats what i wanted when i was looking for a patrol. I am happy with it:)

I love my diesel and would not convert to the tb42

I have had more then a few tb42 rd28 and now td42 turbo
Tb42's were ok had a few and the rd28 with more boost and fuel made the td42 non turbo feel like a slug as they like to rev and power comes on higher in the rev range..
Before fitting the turbo to the td42 i was quite dissapointed with it even with winding the fuel up a little but now it is great and gets on average 500 k's to a $100 fuel around town.

I have to say my rd28 performs quite well, climbs things offroad that a mates n/a td42 cannot and beats tb42's on road. The only downside is getting off the line with a heavy trailer and 35's on.

Good little engine but it must have been a real sick tb42 that you beat on road.



Tap, crackle, pop

Totally agree
After having an RD28T GU and now owning a TB42 GQ
It would want to be 1 serious RD28T to see even the taillights on the TB42
Empty or towing
My TB42 has it all over my old RD28T

I know it sounded healthy, but it was slow as. Mate of mine said his gotta introduce me to one of his mates that has a stock tb42 shorty that's ment to move along quite well. My fuel is wound up quite alot, can leave it in 5th on hills that needed 3rd when I first bought it.
