Hi, my name is Michael Steyn and I'm a new member on the site
I recently bought a 2001 Patrol GU with a cracked cylinder head on auction and I just had to join this forum after reading the posts from Andre Steyn and ricster.
I love working on my own cars and have received this passion from my father since I could barely walk. He is a mechanic and I is a wonderful coach (dankie pa!!)
I have started rebuilding the engine and the info on the site is very helpful.
Ill post some pics of how far I am with the project and hopefully get some pointers from the pro's. The vehicle isn't in top shape and there is a lot of things to be done.

Welcome Michael,
Like Cedric says another diesel.Real trucks don't have spark plugs.
Any issues you have, you can also contact Mynhard and Gerhard at SAC Diesel. Very knowledgeable on the 4.2 diesel Patrols. Graham is also top notch on all other items on the troll.
