Re: 2003 GU diesel - Gumtree
Finally got the answers I needed from the seller.
It's a 3L turbo.
Turbo unit has just been replaced by agents (cost R26k).

Re: 2003 GU diesel - Gumtree
Agree completely, but if the car costs R135, and you are going to have to spend around R30 just to get peace of mind, then I think you could have gone a very long way on the money you saved by just buying a 4.5 of similar vintage for R100k.ricster wrote:I'll play devils advocate ....
Peter, you are correct for sure... "don't fix what isn't broken" is a very valid point, but if its going to be a keeper, and you don't plan on selling it in any near future and do the whole "shabang", you will have spent ( I use the term loosely) "unnecessary" money on replacing stuff that isn't broken, but that money spent now, could in effect save you double later should something go wrong, and you have piece of mind on a "new" motor.
We all know the TB42, TB45, TB48, and the TD42 motors are pretty much bullet proof, we all don't give enough credit to the ZD30 motor ( even I cannot believe I'm saying this, but the ZD motor has grown on me, like the TD42 has grown on Tinus ..... ). I assume the UN also had a spec on these motors for service as with the spec given for the other Patrol models and I presume Cruisers etc.
I suppose depending on how the motor has been treated will effect how long the motor will last. I don't know if after 150 000km, whether the block will need to be re-sleeved or just a quick honing. Injectors, well they would need to be replaced at some stage anyways I presume. I'm not sure what the life expectancy is on those.
I suppose at the end of the day it doesn't matter what vehicle it is... a second hand vehicle is still a second hand vehicle and there can be issues that need attention.
But hopefully it is a 4.2 diesel, and Dustin can be puffin' up a diesel storm soon...
Mag ons ons kenniskry met lekkerkry aanhoukry.
