You won't be sorry bud, they are great vehicles. Just check with them about the warranty if you change the exhaust and also if you fit a Madman monitoring system ( or similar ). I big car like a Patrol, that can go anywhere with fuel consumption favoring your wallet more than the sheikhs.... its a no brainer ..... Buy it !!

Petri, dis n goeie keuse daai!

If I was in the market for a new vehicle in that class the Patrol GL 3.0 would be it. The common rail version is really awesome and as you have seen it does not share the same problems as the DI engine. It is probably the last ideal overlanding vehicle ever made with SFA and coil suspension giving great fuel economy.

As mentioned above, I would do the following to make it really enjoyable
1. Fit a proper exhaust
2. Do software at SAC Boksburg
3. Fit a snorkel
4. Fit a Madman just for safety

The standard 3.0 is a bit low on power and the above mods really makes a huge difference in power and driveability.
I reckon if you keep the standard tyres with above mods you should get 9km/l if you drive nicely.
