Could some one have a look for me at this Patrol?

Gumtree Patrol

I have a friend that want to buy mine and this looks like a good replacement. :biggrin: The add says GL, but it looks like GRX on the back and there is leather seats in the photos.

I will arrange that the car go to Graham if it looks ok.

Thanks

I have actually been to see the vehicle. About a month ago. i crawled underneath and there was a fair amount of oil leaking. Gearbox and motor. That may simply be oil seals, so perhaps not too much of a big deal. I drove it about 20 meters and it ran out of fuel, so cant comment on the drive. The dealership didn't inspire confidence if I'm honest. I can go and take some pics for you if you want. I would definitely get graham to check it out if I were you.

Yeah I'm sure thats a GRX.... It has climate control. The GL only has the old school hot/cold, and the face/feet/face&feet/def& feet/defrost and fan speed.

That's interesting, I didn't know that the GRX came in manual as well, I thought they were all auto :think:

Pre face-lift, lots of manuals (both GL and GRX).

Post-face-lift, the manuals are as scarce as hen's teeth... :(

Cool, you learn something new everyday thanks :thumbup: . The post face lift manuals are all GL's though, correct?

Thanks for the feedback. I will probably be in JHB next week just in and out, same day. I will go and have a look. This is just if my friend buys mine. I will commute on my bicycle for a wile if I must, but would like to get a nice 4.5/4.8 if possible.

Thanks
