Newbie from Secunda
Hello folks! New to this forum, though I have been a member of 4x4community for a few years.
There's obviously a reason for being new here: proud owner of a Patrol since this weekend!
Been a passionate wildlife photographer since 2009, so getting to remote corners of Africa is important to me.
Just traded in my trusty 2008 Pathfinder 4.0L V6 after nearly 200,000km of various adventures for a well-looked after unmodded unkitted 2013 Patrol 3.0L Di with low mileage.
Hope to learn much more about this beast and how best kit it out and care for it.

Re: Newbie from Secunda
Welcome to the Patrol family !!
Yeah, without a shadow of a doubt, the madman is like a condom to a teenager.... should never leave home without it.....hahaha
The 3.0L had a bad reputation motor wise, so adding the Madman EGT monitor is the key to engine longevity. Don't get me wrong those 3.0L motors are very powerful and fuel efficient, but just need a little bit of extra TLC
