2007 Gu

[Avo]

Guys I may have found a GU 2007 patrol I like and are going to the big smoke on the weekend to take a look.OD has agreed to have a gander before I do the big haul up and back,if he says it's worth looking at.......But what are the things to look for or should I say look out for.

Thanks

Where is it mate? I'm guessing it's a wheezing 3ltr 4 potter CRD

[Avo]

Yes your right.Nth Prth mate...

Got a link to it we can look at? PM if you want.

Just give it a good look over, take it for a run and give it some.
Also if you can get someone else you trust to test drive it.

Make sure it has good service history and warranty and be prepared to spend some on it to do nads to it to keep it reliable, good luck with it Neil, I would look at it for you too but I'm in Sydney.

Don't know anything about diesels but I seem to remember readin something about checking for oil around the intercooler somewhere. Usual rust around the gutters, front window rubbers. Check the front passenger foot well for dampness, could be leaking front window rubber or possibly aircon. Needless tto say about checking for oil leaks.
Check for cracks on the tops of the rear spring housing where its welded to the chassis, oh and make sure the tops are straight.
Oh and check the dash for signs of bubbling.

Is it Auto or manual?

I reckon you should get yourself a few lined up to look at if you're coming up mate. this was just a search for 2007-2009 Diesel Autos, within a 100k radius of Perth
