mate i have had 2 x 3.0 l patrol tds both have done over the 100 k ms now and no problems at all one was pre 02 and they are the ones that had engine issues and the other is a post 04 - both bloody brilliant vehicles but they like to be regularly serviced i do mine at 5000 kms usually oil a nd oil filter change plus the other things
good choice
best rob
Congrats on your new car just fit a boost and EGT gauge as a matter of urgency and keep them well monitored for anything out of the ordinary.

Someone on exploroz just posted about an '06 blowing up :-) Mind you, it had done a heap of kms.
patrol 50, mate i understand the maintance side of things , my dad was a mechanic/ truck driver, i drove, my brother drove, 5000 klm,s its serviced.
fnq, after reading all the stuff on other sites, gauges, dawes valves fans bolted to the intercooler ,etc are just the norm i believe
atfer haveing a gq 4.2 ,then getting a 4.2 gu turbo, i was quite surprised at the 3.0 as it spooled up quick and pulled like all get out.
i cant wait
list of things to do
roof rack stainless of course
duel rear wheel carrier
2 inch lift
piss the rear seats off and replace withsliding draw set up
and lots of other goodies
chisel, there are a lot of guys out there that post all kinds of shit, i know the early ones blow up, my boss has blown 2 motors, but a lot has to do with the owners not doing services etc

Yeah i first drove one back in 2000-2002 somewhere, government car over quite a few thousand km, had heaps more poke than any NA td4.2 powered patrol i ever drove. I was surprised at how petrol like it behaved at out of town speeds.
Interestingly I suspect the majority of owners are not aware of the mods/additions necessary on these engines, an investment of an extra and sort of trick $2k that might save a potential extra $8-10k given enough time in ownership.

Good luck with the new 4b Ian. There was talk the other day about another M&G....
