I just purchased a 1996 Patrol with a 4.2l turbo. This is the first one I have driven.
It has 100km on it and is in very good condition. I have had it up on my lift and everything is tight and looks great except for some frame rust, to be addressed. Drives great, except for...
I don't expect it to be fast, and she drives and shifts fine, but she is slowwwwwwwwww. 0-70km/h is 21 seconds! When I am doing 80 and lightly punch it, she downshifts, and slows down for a couple seconds then slowly gains speed. I live on an island, so there is not much traffic, but I still hold people up every time I pull onto the main road. BUT, she starts immediately, is smooth as glass and sounds great. No turbo noise at all, ever.
My first thought is the turbo is not working, but I do not know what happens with them as I have never owned a turbo. I have built race cars, boats and everything in between, but never a turbo.
