Nissan Patrol 4x4 (Africa)

Hello Peter. Thank you very much indeed. It's rather odd for such a rarely used switch to die. Maybe I'll just try some electrical spary on it first.

Hey guys, more than ten years in with my Patrol 4.8 GRX and only 90,000km and I have a few small things to start sorting out. One is that the switch that opens and closes the sunroof has died - it opens it but doesn't close it. Having open the roof tray in which it is contained, I see that it is a r...

Peter's engineering skills always amaze me, even though I personally don't have a use for this particular kit.

Put the heater on full heat when replacing the coolant / bleeding. Also, the main bleed thingy is against the firewall. On the 4.5 at least, but pretty sure the 4.8 will be very similar. Thank you Ian. Seems someone had some sense wth the 4.8 and moved it to a more accessible point: https://www.pat...

Okay, I am really confused. I replaced the water loss sensor housing. All sorted, no leaks. I have bled the cooling system by removing both the radiator cap and the bolt in the bleed aperture in front of the intake manifold. With the engine running, water pumps out the bleed hole and the radiator ca...

Can't help with the value of either of your current winches. My dad bought a MacAfric 12000lb winch probably 13-15 years ago. It never worked twice in a row, without maintenance in between. But all the issues he had was with the solenoid/control box, not the winch itself. Having said that, the winc...

Hi guys, Okay. Issue identified. Second pic shows the crack in the coolant loss sensor adapter housing. Crack is also visible from the inside. The crack is consistent with the leak. The likely cause of the adapator cracking is apparent from the first picture. The hose ID is 33mm. Must have taken som...

just out of interest , the hose set I got from Terrain Taimer worked well, bottom hose comes as one hose where the Nissan is a 2 piece with connector bit. Clem if you can't find a new top hose , I do have a spare upper hose ( my old hose) you can borrow it if you need to check if it is the hose. Th...

Thank you Tinus. I will definitely do so. His proximity to me is also a great help.

Hi guys, I have a used Iron Man 12000lb winch that has been lying in my garage for some years. In very good used condition, with remote pickup etc. I bought it some years ago from someone on this forum but have never used it, although strip and service it, replace gaskets and waterproof the various ...
