3.0 turbo diesel Jackeroo

Post by Sportage »

I am looking at buying a second hand 3.0 turbo diesel Jackeroo. It has approx 195,000km on the clock. The dealer tells me it has an oil leak that he is getting fixed. Is there anything that I should look out for and what is the typical life between major rebuilds for these motors? :shock:
Dare to be different!!

Pass on it mate. 3.0l TD jack's are a PITA don't touch it.
I'm not quitting drinking, I'm retiring at the top of my game - sporting comeback likely.

agreed, those motors have known issues, the design of the injection pump and injectors particulary is not so good!
