Hi mate, Congratulations mate
I found this (in tas though).....http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/parkl...sel/1000357466

Thanks for everyone for the good wishes. I'm still undecided what to get but the information given has helped me narrow it down!

What is the issue with the 3.0ltr? I mate from work brought one and the Glow plugs snapped off and well he's up for a new engine. I thought it was a oil related issue?

A 4.2 GQ would be my prime pick, thanks Taslucas for the link. Shows what i can get value for money. Pitty it's across the Tasman :P

Roadtrip? I'm pushing you know what up hill just to get a couple of days off haha

Well after looking around, i think the 3.0L GU is out of the question. The amount of issues i've read they have has really scared me away. Which is disappointing because i LOVE the gu shape.

I still see a few 2.8's around, good nic good price. I was told under powered, is there any mods people usually do to make them a little more powerful? Boost increase ect

The 4.2L turbo diesel i would love in a GU but simply cannot afford it, the 4.2 in a GQ i can but finding one that has been treated right thats the problem.

The hunt continues, not to worry i won't be buying to May

Congrats old mate!!!! Did we know that little secret when you came out wheeling?? lmao

Plenty of advice flowing mate, and whilst I have an opinion, at the end of the day it'll come down to budget, comfort (especially for Hayley and the bib), and what's available at the time.

Keep this a secret so the other members don't find out, but a later model GU is more comfy and well appointed, not too mention larger from prams and the like, so I'd be going down that path personally ... I bought one when my first arrived (3.0ltr 2004 model) and they are definitely (IMHO) a "nicer" family rig.

Thanks mate! Na, we only found of out Sunday. I spent a day or two sulking over selling my toys LOL! That was soon turned to joy when i relised what we created. Not to mention i get a new(er) 4x4

Is the Golden rule GU's are good 2004 onwards?

Also, my father in law has a 80 series with a turbo 1hz that is a freak and pulls like a train. Talk me out of even considering buying that haha
