Gday guys. I’ve got a 2003 td42ti gu patrol and since few days I’ve noticed that I kind of loosing power when it gets hot. Car still keeps going but I feel it doesn’t go as much as I accelerate and also I can feel the car is sort of vibrating when it happens. Car isn’t getting hot or anything...

Hello, I’m about to buy this GQ and wanted to know if 19.5k was a good price as the guy won’t budge. I think it’s an alright price but is close to 20 grand so thought I’d see what everyone thinks. It’s a 1997 gq td42 rx with 215 clicks Its a silver top with turbo put on aftermarket running...

Hey guys, I have a 2004 GU td42 that I’ve only had for a few weeks now. 90% of the time it’s runs perfectly however occasionally it takes a few seconds of cranking (generally a few goes of 5 seconds or more of cranking) before it starts and usually blows a puff of white smoke when it does...
