Besides the odd number 4 going up in smoke and bits.

Are there any valid reasons against getting a new patrol 3L five speed.

The plan is for the family to run around in it for the first three years, then I get it to do touring (not hardcore) mods.

We are seriously considering buying one so lets have up with any real issues please guys.

Cheers

depends on which 'new' one you are talking about.

the patrol has recently comeout with a comman rail deisel. its basicly the same old motor except with comman rail and cooled EGR. it has more power down low but is lacking in the higher rpm which makes it a bit slower.
