My nearly new Patrol

Post by Steele »

So after having dreamt of a Patrol for a few years, I finally took the plunge. This is the result - my new toy. Anybody recognize her? She's a 2014 CRD, history seems to be originally from the cape, then moved to mpumalanga, and now Joburg. Looking forward to hitting the road and getting some long trips in once covid permits!

Thanks for the welcome guys. Looking forward to being part of this community! Quite a few familiar names from the 4x4community forum.
My trol (still no name), came pretty well kitted, but as always there is plenty more to be done. Been getting lots of good ideas reading through this forum. She is only on 86000km but I think my first priority is to look at the mechanical integrity. So my likely start point is:
1. send her to Graham or Michael for a thorough look over. Who would be best for a 3.0 crd?
2. get an EGT monitor fitted. Madman / other?
3. fit freeflow exhaust and do the egr blank.
4. any other suggestions......?
Cheers, Gareth
