Davo Posted April 1, 2013 Report Share Posted April 1, 2013 Hi all. Have been the proud owner of a 2001 3lt GU Patrol for about 6yrs. What a great vehicle, has never let me down.........until Good Friday. Was planning a trip up the Holland Track with a couple of mates when my ever reliable Patrol decided to through it's toys out of the cot. Needless to say this wasn't the greatest day I've had, but sh*t happens right. Whilst on my internet journey to find as much info on my delema I stumbled across this site (cloud with silver lining blah blah) and read some of the useful comments posted on it's pages. I plan on rebuilding the motor and installing a few NADS to try and prevent a re-occurance. I can hear all the 4.2lt boys already......but being armed with a lot more info on the possible causes I am hoping to prevent this happenning again and enjoy some of the places only a 4bee can get to Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

admin Posted April 1, 2013 Report Share Posted April 1, 2013 I got rid of my 2002 3l because I was scared it would happen to me. I spent more and got a 4.2 turbo. Would I do it again? Probably not. Maybe chuck a later model Crd motor in it and have for the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davo Posted April 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 (edited) Turned out to be a broken compressor shaft in the turbo and the motors fine. Unfortunately Garrett doesn't do a rebuild kit for this turbo so it's a new one $2800 +gst.....ouch Got a better deal through work....$1940 inc gst I'm much happier now than I was on Good Friday Edited April 4, 2013 by Davo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
