    Hello there!

    Hi there, from BenB, the proud owner of a new ST manual. I have to confess that the change from Landrover to Patrol has taken some time, having never owned anything other than a landrover. I will really miss the oil leaks.
    However the criteria was reliability, live axles and the ability to fix it myself when out bush so the Patrol was the go. I will post some photos of my new rig when I get it back. It has gone to a seat belt specialist to fit a lap sash belt to the middle seat in the middle row. Had it for only 18 hours before it was taken again. Hoping to get it back on Friday.

    Thanks. I will be keen to hear some more advice and get involved. I see there are some worth while mods to be done on the 3.0L motor to keep it running well. I.e. EGT and air/oil separator.
