As I said - @mudski - I do love my Patrol. It has done every iconic track in Oz - some of them a number of times. It has done three laps of Oz - most of it towing. It has 500,000 km on the dial and yes - it has had problems. And yes there are fixes for the problems - but when the 1999 GU Patrols have the same shitty issues as 2016 Patrols - you do have to wonder. The engines and heads - buggered if I know. I treat it like a baby. Oil change every 5000 km. NADS and EGT gauge with alarm so it has never been over temp. Just really, really unlucky?
But the Touareg is another experience. Totally different car and it really is horses for courses. And before you scoff - one of the reasons I bought it - a mate who is also a Patrol nut bought a Touareg a couple of years ago. On one trip he went from Albury/Wodong to Birdsville - across the Simpson to Alice - then to the Rock and the Gun Barrel - up the Canning to Halls Creek - then to the WA coast and the Gibb River road. Not a bad trip he reckoned.
