Info on buying a Patrol

[rkinsey]

From what i understand mate, the early GU 3.0ltr TD Series 1 and 2 are the ones to stay away from. Just look up some threads about the ZD30.
I got a GU series 2 but have done the necessary mods to help out.
with a 30k budget mate, you would get an incredible vehicle mate.

There is alot of info out there mate about the ZD30 grenading problems, but im a firm believer that if you treat your car good, it will return the favor

good luck mate

#172 edition of 4WD Action mag has a complete write up on the ZD30 and what the look out for mechanically. It covers why they have problems and how to avoid/combat them.

Cheers,

Rob
