Nissan Patrol 4x4 (Africa)

Both fans on my 4.8 switch on when I switch on the aircon.

1.jpg 2.jpg I put 2 to 3 layers of insulation tape on the 3 door latch hooks of the rear doors. It takes a bit of effort to open the door but the open door warning light doesn't come on while driving. The doors also doesn't squeak anymore. At one stage the top latch didn't close properly and you ha...

Good morning I received my recall letter in June this year. Last month I took it to Nissan in Centurion. They didn't look at the vehicle and only used the vin number. They said they will order the part and when it arrives they will make an appointment to replace it. The passenger airbag was replaced...

I once had a problem that my 4.8 wouldn't go forwards (I didn't test reverse when it happened). The engine would rev but no drive. In the engine bay on the passenger side there is a small box with relays in it. One of these is for the reverse light and another one is for the gearbox. I opened these ...

24 December We did sightseeing in the park and cooled off in the river, braai, drink, etc. 25 December We decided to go and see what Ai-Ais look like. After clearing customs and crossing the river we were once again wondering how can Namibia keep their dirt roads in such good condition. On the way t...

26 December We left Potjiespram and took the road through De Hoop towards Richtersberg. At first we didn’t have a nice camping spot (no shade at all) but when our neighbours decided to move on, we moved to their spot where we had shade in the afternoons. We chilled the rest of the day and did the no...
