Nissan Patrol 3.0 Di GL
Hi All,
I am looking for a Patrol 3.0 Di GL. Preferably a newer model (I already have an old vehicle).
I do have few concerns. I have heard that parts are a bit of a problem, anything outside of service and maintenance parts.
I am also not sure on the availability of aftermarket items like diff locks etc (less of a concern after reading some of the forum).
Can anyone help?
Thanks,
Ryan

Ryan, just phone Tinus.

He is in your area, knows about pretty much every car available and is a terrain tamer agent to boot.

And what you can't get from Tinus and/or Terrain Tamer is quick, easy, and relatively cheap, to import so it's pretty much covered and not really a problem.

Re: Nissan Patrol 3.0 Di GL
You’ll be fine with parts.
But. Just take them for proper test drives first.
My personal belief is that that little motor isn’t up to the task to move such a heavy car. But that’s just my personal opinion!

Re: Nissan Patrol 3.0 Di GL
Well I suppose after 22yrs and almost 900000km in a 4.2D the CRD will feel like a Ferrari
