Hey Nic do you want to borrow my compression tester?
meh its ok, im not holding my breath mate. dad checked the motor out last night he was really surprised, no oil leaks, everything looks OK, its just been sitting out in the weather so has abit of corrosion on it. I dont know how long this motor will last, but hopefully it will give me the time to save up for a td42 conversion. on the other hand, i might be lucky and it lasts.
as for the compression tester, thats ok mate, dad has one so i should be right cheers mate appreciate the offer
I got red dust in my veins.

Wow, what a read, pretty much a similar Patrol to what I'm looking for without the engine problem, I was like yay at the start of the thread to oh no by the middle and end, what amazed me was the support you have from forum members which fills me with a bit of confidence and the help that's been offered. Still worried tho buying a patrol because of this engine problems but it is the vehicle I'm after(if only it didn have the dam engine detonation thing), I really hope it works out for you and all goes well with you back on the road soon, look forward to reading more of this thread in future, good luck.
