Nissan Patrol 4x4 (Africa)

I owned a CRD since new for 3 years. 2inch lift. Roofrack. Bullbar, winch, rear bar, 33inch tyres. Drawer system. Sliders. 3inch exhuast from turbo. 10inch fan under intercooler. Dastek chip. Drove it for +-73000km. Overland trips. Town trips. City trips. My average over the 3 years was 7.5km/l tha...

Good day gents. This is very interesting to me. I always thought that the Crd Di would have slightly better feul consumption than the Di and then the improved reliability of coarse. In fact i have been waiting for the right Crd to come along so i can change to a Crd but this makes me seriously reth...

Hi Steel Thanks for confirming. My previous vehicle was CRD. I got similar readings when towing a trailer. I did drive to Durban without a trailer once but with 5 people in car, lots of lugguage and got less than 7km/l :lol: however I was doing 120 km/h speeds. If driven in a reasonable speeds I thi...

Thanks will try with spare wheel first this weekend

Yes, you MIGHT get 1 or 2km/L more, but.... - The cost of the vehicle will exceed this saving fo...

Hi Rahul I do not have a CRD and once had a Di. The Di gave me around 8km/l with roof rack, but averaging around 100km/h. Currently I have a GQ with 4.8 Spitronix conversion and manual box (and 4.375 ratios), fully kitted similar to your 4.8 and at 100km/h I average 6km/l. If I push is harder, it d...

Hi Guys I just want your opinion on fuel consumption of 3.0 CRD. On the internet specifically in Aus forums I have been seeing various readings. When I owned one in the past I averaged around 6-7km/l doing 120km/h (ODO) with roof rack, AT tires and towing a small trailer. But the performance was ter...
