Keep it coming I am sure there is a few more GQ drivers out there, I want to take an informed decision on whether to keep the Petrol or sell and get me a Diesel, only thing is they are very scarse, will most probably not have R50k's of extra's and come at a premium of a few extra thousand on the price as oposed to the Petrol.

Two option available at the moment and only two for a while now is the GQ for R60k roofrack and OME coils but with 530,000km - which is heigh according to me or the 1998 with only 194,000km but a price tag of R115,000 only with long range tank.


Or take mine to Graham and have him look at it top to bottem and also maybe go with smaller tires???

With the petrol Patrols you only have to watch the fuel gauge and nothing else
