Have you seen this chaps?

According to the seller, the 4.2ST was an Aussie spec 4.2 N/A. He says it was exactly the same as the SGL here - but I'm sure the aficionados here will know what's different!

I've seen it. It has been on Gumtree for a while now. Price came down from what it was 95 K if I remember right.

Another 4,2 [white one] on there started at R115 K. Now below 90K Vredenburg vehicle, stones trow from Saldanha / Velddrift.. possibly rust under the skin there .. a proper check out for that one me thinks.

Ek het gister na hom gaan kyk. Ek is heel verbaas dat hy meganies in so n goeie kondisie is. Ek het spesifiek gevoel vir speling op die drivetrain en kon niks voel nie. Baie sagte cluch. Ry baie lekker. Suspention is nog hard. Die voetuig het in die laaste 2 jaar met die eienaar 3500km gery. Hy beweer die regulator op die alternator is moeg omdat die voltage guadge wys hy overcharge en die rev counter spring rond. Hy het 2 batterye maar nie dual battery nie daar is nie n isolator in nie en hulle is parralel gekoppel. Die interior is bietjie moeg, goed gepiets deur die son. Daar was n boer wat hom al n offer gemaak het vir 65k hulle wou die dak afsny en gameviewer maak. Dit lyk asof hy dalk 50mm gelig is. Hy het n LSD agter diff. En dit lyk nie asof hy al behoorlik ge4x4 het nie. Geen steering wobble nie. Ek het hom tot op 120km/h gevat. Hy sukkel nie om tot da te kom nie dit vat net wel n rukkie soos verwag uit n N/A. Dit was die eerste keer wat ek een gery het.
Wat my keer om die sneller te trêk is die gebrek aan n difflock, tires is so te sê kla. En ek weet nie hoe sal dit wees om van GU na GQ toe te gaan nie veral omdat ek baie sleep is ek nie seker oor die brieke nie veral die gebrek aan abs wat wel n groot verskil maak. Ek het vergeer om te kyk of hy dromme of disks agter het. Maar ek kon geen roes sien nie.

Its a VERY nice clean looking Patrol !!!

Dirk... What year is yours? I know yours has the silver top diesel, but this one looks like the black top. One would have to check the Alternator for vacuum pump to get confirmation. I was just curious if the motor has been changed from original to what is in there.

On the Thermostat housing there is an odd bit of plumbing and electrical happening there. Firstly there is a pipe coming out the top of the housing going to the left. Where does that go? Do the GQ's have a different set up tot he GU's? Then there is an electrical wire from the one bolt on the housing going somewhere. I assume it to be a temp sensor of some sort, but don't see any extra gauges on the photos.

If only I had some spare cash !!

Built in 1995 and Registered in 1996. Michael will know about my alternator and vacuum pump .. I think :confused:

But from pics I saw this one looks like mine did originally, interior, mags etc, Also LSD which doesn't work anaway..

It does have the pump on the alternator.
