Re: Urgent advice on TD4.2 conversioninto GU TD2.8

Re: Should i buy a 3ltr turbo diesel

You couldn't give me a 3L. I am a patrol fan and since working in mining i have only seen 1 ZD30 make it past 100,000 k's (not well by the way). Just do the right thing and stuff around to find a TD42. If you want something that will last get a Landcruiser 75 series non-turbo. I drive them regularly ...

Had a blast on the weekend - broke 2 cv's and watched some 4wding. If anyone knows a fella Brad who was with the supercharged patrol ute - I owe him a cv and he hasn't called with bank details. Let him know to give me a bell.

Just wondering if anyone has put steel wheels on a supercharged V8 Range Rover? I know that the stud pattern is Commodore, but the calipers are ridiculous. Can you fit less than 19's on them off anything made already or is it a custom job? Any info is greatly appriceiated.
