not really... decent ones can be had for 2 - 3k. Project 4x4 4.2 can be had for 1k if you keep an efye out. to swap an engine would likely cost 1 - 2k depending on how much work you would do yourself.

3.3s are much older so probably more rusty too.

Ok I've done a bit of digging. Confused.com seems to think it's a 3.0 and with the shape of it if say it looks like an early generation 4? (check out wiki) the generation 3 had the 3.3 engine but no 3.0

The generation 4 has an early 3.0 engine as this patrol is a 1991.

If this is the case I am definately interested.

Nice passenger seat

Why does this not surprise me?

It looks pretty rusty, The rear arches look to be already fixed and pretty badly.

good luck

Ok but many people prefer coil springs. Someone would be interested but I think £500 may be a bit expensive seeing as it will need a load of work.

Also something to consider this won't have a rear axle difflock too. Maybe a LSD

Alex that truck is without a doubt a 160 series NOT a Y60

Bonnet shape, lack of rear barn doors, not to mention the fact you can see a cart spring in the pic of the rear wheel...

That Trol is going to need work, just to get it moving nevermind anything else. Dude, think of all the jobs that you've had to ask other folk to do on your Terrano - unless you're planning to (finally) pick up tools yourself then you're going to have to throw a lot of money at it for labour

As Fez said in your tyre thread, don't try to run before you can walk

we do have the patrol 160 series workshop manual

Sorry should have updated earlier, rang Rick this morning to quiz about them and the fault reported, steer clear was the answer

Thanks Rick
