Nissan Patrol 4x4 (Africa)

sounds like a battery earth / connection issue.

Ok will do.

Ja, i have a cylinder head company next to my factory, they have a few presses, so will try convince of them to help me over a weekend perhaps.

I had a look there yesterday but i thought they only had caster correction bushes,.... and i want standard rubber, as i have drop boxes. but, now i see this... https://www.terrainparts.co.za/products/TSBK0001-138.php Do you think these are: 1) FRONT bushes ? 2) Rubber or Poly ? I wish they had pics....
