Yeah, sure plenty have gone pop but look at the numbers of them out there, they have been around a long time now and still in production. I have driven plenty of TD42's and I have always enjoyed getting back into my 3L. It is way more efficient on fuel and gets the job done. City driving is quite easy with them as is the 110+ highway speeds.
Now look at the price, OMFG, the prices people are asking for them, seriously. Go buy the TB45 or TB48 if you want power, strap on a snail and go nuts. Otherwise buy a 3L and engine swap it down the track as some of the dream figures people want for TD42's leaves enough to do an LS conversion.
The ZD30 with simple mods make them strong and reliable.
There is only one TD42 I know that can pull away on me, but he has a huge snail pushing 35+ PSI into her with 12mm pump pistons. Now that is a donk worth the weekend, off-road comps it is used for.
Buy a car that suits your needs and your road testing, not what forum posts tell you. It is you that needs to use it.
