Im sure you're aware of the model/motor change in 2006.
A late model ZD30 Di will be ok, Waiting to see what you come home with. lol

Hi All, Well the patrol that was gone came back up, they said they was taking off and keeping it, it was a servayers car said it was clean inside , well went had a look today in my lunch break !!!!! well first it looked realy bloody good just what i want, tyres all good paint new ARB roo bars , cool, Then i looked inside, ( they said it was clean ) it was a propper work car, dash scraches door pannels scraches floor ok a little red dirt, broken uhf radio, seats all had canvas covers, under them seats was realy good, inside roof had red dust, had a roll bar inside and cage, back seats in storage all good, Back was well dirty red dirt and scraches on plastic and on window tint, Then looked under the car, lots of dry dirt, surface rust on brakes and all bottom of car , engine run good, but was a water leak as evident dry white coolent , said had to change something cost $2500, water pump ?? under engine was a chunk of dirt coverd in black oil under crank wheel ? bottom wheel where your drive belt goes lots of oil easy change ?? oil was black inside engine and they said full service history but could only see up to 130,000 service ?, so might come down to $10,000 but i think i will walk away and wait and spend a few more $$ but have seen a 2004 200000 k looks good and full service 2 nd owner might look at that, Also the dash was well bubbling on the other one lol. Glad i went to look shame as looked good out side, happy shopping.

Cool thanks

Dave

Ex mine vehicle if it had an internal roll bar IMO
There was a recall on the bubbling dash

Dash is fixed by Nissan only if Patrol is under 6 years old.
The water leak well and truly could be the famous zd30 timing leak which Nissan still hasn't rectified even in new 3L common rails.
That car has mining car written all over it.

Hay Dave, don't walk away - run away!
