Re: Patrol Death/Steering Wobble – Trouble Shooting & Fix

Good job Graham!
Well you have determined that your Patrol needs new swivel hub bearings. Removing the shims work wonders, but its just a plaster on the problem which will return again in the future.
If you think removing the shims was a tough job, wait till you have to change the braeings :lol:

Re: Nissan waarborg

My vrou se Merc gaan more in vir diens - 5j en 11 maande, nog nie n sent vie enige diens ens betaal nie - dink hulle het die nou verander van 6j, na 5jaar (100k km). Onthou daar's n verskil tussen diensplan en waarborg. Michael, mis ek iets? Audi: five-year/100 000km Freeway Plan BMW: Motorplan is ...

Re: Nissan waarborg

JohnBoy, ek sien Hyundai het net n 5jaar/150,000km waarborg en n 7jaar/200,000km op die drivetrain.

Nigsteeds beter as enige ander vervaardiger wat ek sien :thumbup:

Re: Nissan waarborg

Het so vinnig deur n paar vervaardigers gegaan en kyk nie of Nissan se 3jaar/100,000km waarborg minder as die ander vervaardigers is nie. Toyota bied ook net n 3jaar/100,000km waarborg BMW en Mercedes bied n 2jaar/unlimited km waarborg VW is wel 3jaar/120,000km Audi het maar n 1jaar/ unlimited km wa...

Re: 35" tyres on a GU

Gary, on a 4.8 it will feel like more horses will be down the drain with 35's as the maximum power and torque is higher up the rev range where on the diesels its very low down. JP's got some serious power on his 4.8 turbo, so its not as noticable on his vehicle. Tommy Watkins had 35's on his 4.8 aut...

Re: Clutch slip

The TD42 clutch kits are actually even cheaper than that at the moment. Bought one last week and its under 6k.

Re: Nissan Patrol 4.2D 1999 FOR SALE

Looks like a very neat Patrol!! Is this not maybe a import? The fact that it has LSD rather than diff lock, cruise control, no fender flares and the biscuit rims, sunroof and it has no lights in the rear bumper makes it sound allot like a spec we never had in SA. I dont think its a transplant, looks...

Re: Clutch slip

The TD42TI clutch kit for the turbo bakkies is the way forward. We are running that clutch on Attie's Td42 Patrol and it makes 180kw and 700Nm on the wheels with no slip.
And that's with an owner who really works the vehicle hard.

Re: My nearly new Patrol

Very nice Patrol Gareth and I'm sure by the looks of it there will be no surprises underneath the vehicle or under the bonnet. As mentioned by Tinus and Peter I can help you with what you are looking for. The CRD is the better 3.0 to have and with the Madman fitted we can do a very safe power upgrad...

Re: What engine is this

Thise factory turbo engines are probably the toughest version of the TD42 ever made. A compression test will give you the beat answer to the condition of the engine. I f you see silicone on the sump gaskit or ANY sign that the sump was ever off....... walk away, because that means someone had the he...
