Dirk!!!
Don't be drawen to the "dark side" Cedric has be fogging your mind with the "black fog"! run around the block a few times (it will take you about the same time as the oil burner would take to drive it!!
) and clear your mind and then think what you will be missing if you sell your current PETROL 4.2

This is not a ST version. The biggest difference between the ST and the SGL, was,
No Chrome grill
No chrome review mirrors
No Two tone paint
LSD vs Diff Lock
Old style dash controls
There have been quite a few variations and on a trip to Kazakhstan a couple of years ago, I saw this. Standard front and rear lockers on some. Drum brakes front and rear on some.
As for the LSD, my troll has more than enough wheel travel. Ask Alex, they only two patrols that got up Klip Drift at Moegatle was his and mine.
In summary the Westrand people bought the Patrols with the bling
Mine is still available and has a full service record. As for the Turbo, it is not a factory unit, but a Safari turbo with front mounted intercooler. Runs very well and you can call Graeme for a review as he has redone all the brakes about 5 months ago.
Just make sure about the Diff Lock.
As I stated before, I have the SGL -D (1996) and mine only has the LS diff. Same as Grant

To check the LSD is to jack-up both rear wheels and turn the one wheel and if the other wheel turn in the same direction the LSD is still working.
