Thread: Patrol 4.2tdi fuel usage.

Just returned from a 10 day trip to Northland in ours @520,000km. Not towing anything, did 11L/100km. Its wearing Cooper SRX's.

I know when the wife throws the float and horsey on the back it drops to about 16L/100km.

But came back in two seperate wagons: found one with significantly less km on the clock, and no bloody 'rain roof', so picked it up relatively cheap, and over the next couple of months will tart up the old truck and hopefully make the change over for just a few thou $$.

Will be keeping an eye on consumption of the new wagon. Keen to see if there is any significant difference.

Certainly a different feel to the whole truck, with a couple of hundy less on the clock.

I only replace parts when the wof tells me or the part breaks.And that hasnt been to much in the last 589000ks 18yrs.
