Is there anyway by looking at a Patrol to tell whether it is a 4.2D and not a 2.8?

As in the ads there are a fair few that just say "turbo diesel" without mentioning what engine

If it is an ad for a GQ and says 'Turbo Diesel' probably 99% it will be a 2.8, because the 4.2 never came standard with a turbo.

Could also look at the engine number. All TD42's start with 'TD42-?????' and 2.8's start with 'rd28-???'
Early gu's anything with a topmount intercooler is a good chance of being a 2.8lt also. As the intercooled TD42T GU didnt come out till 2004.

cool,
thanks

after that 2.8 bashing ..
i own the same its a great truck not problem in 3years owned.
i do think they want abit to much.
if you can find the same cheaper go 4 it.
the 2.8 can go further per liter than a4.2...

SMAC.
Think you need to re-read it.
Aus spec GQ's never had factory fitted TD42 turbos (if there was there wasnt many).
The GU patrol did come with the TD42T and TD42Ti (or TD6 as nissan are advertising it as).

ah ok, picky picky, just cos i cant read
