Hi all,
My name is Richard and I'm looking to purchase a second hand 4WD. I've been around 4WD's my whole life and am also a qualified mechanic. I enjoy the great outdoors, a spot of fishing and exploring new places. I figure a 4WD will allow me the freedom to explore some awesome parts of Australia.
I'm leaning towards a GQ patrol at this point. Any advice you guys could offer would be great. I'm tossing up at the moment between petrol and diesel. My 4WD won't be a daily driver (to train station only), will be used for small runs on weekends and longer 4WD trips away. What are the benefits of diesel compared to petrol? Is there anything else I need to know about the GQ? What about similar alternatives? As I won't be doing a lot of daily driving, is a petrol motor a sensible option? (I'm thinking the TB42E engine).
Thanks heaps guys for your response!
