Re: CRD Fuel consumption
Hi Rahul, My experience with the CRD seems similar to your previous Di. I have a 2" lift, 33" tyres and roofrack. It also has a viper free flow and is tuned by SAC (a mild tune geared towards low down torque for towing). Unfortunately most of my open road travel is towing our 1.6T offroad ...

Re: New to Patrol
Hi Ronald, welcome to Patrolling! Congrats on your new ride! I also have a CRD - 2014 model, see here: https://www.patrol4x4.co.za/viewtopic.php?t=8944 There should be a bit of smoke under load, but it shouldn't be excessive. Not sure about the Cape Town mechanics as I'm in Joburg. There is an activ...

Re: Why Manual Hub
From a touring perspective, we had a situation where the manual hubs were preferred. We were in Lesotho and towing heavy trailers. When descending one of the very steep and long tarred mountain passes, the vehicles with manual hubs were able to select low range 2wd. This helped them maximize engine ...

Re: Rock slider concept
So I finally got around to making a set for my GQ. Lowest possible profile, but these are bolted on (to the original side step mounting points) so no permanent vehicle mods. Just added some foam padding tape to the outside edge. 20231202_172207.jpg 20231202_172214.jpg Weight in this guise is 20kg, ...

Re: Value of a 1998 4.5l Patrol GRX with over 400 000km
Welcome Marcio! I second what Peter has said above. Unfortunately I don't really know prices so can't guide you on that. Regarding the oil and airbag light. I see you are in JHB, maybe give Anthony a call. (079 four99 769two) He is an excellent Patrol mechanic and could give advice on causes and pri...
