Nissan Patrol 4x4 (Africa)

Ok today I eat very humble pie After ripping of the diesel dogs on the forum for years, I finally drove my 4.2 tdi that I bought from David!

All I can say is Holy Cow this thing pulls like and tank and just keeps going and going, I can safely say I have never driven a vehical with as much torque as this motor, 5th gear up a hill and you just put your foot down and it just accelerates

Ok I will admit it in public I and now a convert of "the Dark Side"

Whoooooo Hoooooooooooooooooooo

There is place for 35% improvement there

Ian my son.... come sit here by me .... we don't talk much here on the diesel side.... we let the lovely smell of diesel do the talking for us.......

Seriously though, that is a beaut of a 4.2 !!
