Nissan Patrol 4x4 (Africa)

Haven't had much time to attend to the leak problem, but nothings changed. A local mechanic had a look about a month ago, but couldn't find the problem. ANG are the go to guys in our area, but they're booked u till 15 Dec (we leave 10Dec), so can anyone recommend a mechanic in the Milnerton/Blouberg/Killarney gardens area who knows what he's looking at?

Where is "tour de frans" ' workshop?

Miskien naby aan een van hierdie areas: Milnerton/Blouberg/Killarney ?

He is in Belville, but you better be quick as I think he will be way from middle Dec too.

Frans is in BRACKENFELL just off the N1 near Jip de Jager rd

Thanks for the replies. Already tried Fran's, can't get hold of him, plus he's a bit far. There's heaps of workshops in montague gardens and Killarney gardens, just a case of finding the honest one.

Try Mario 082 928 3210 - Hi is the "Frans" for the Isuzu guys in your valley, but I know he also works on other vehicles. Really good guy

Mario referred me to a diesel place. They quoted me minimum R4500 to recon the diesel pump. There's apparently two o-rings that need replacing (which would be R1800 to do), but they suggested that while it's removed, rather do the whole pump. Replacing the o-rings will be easy, but I'm guessing the removal of the diesel pump is not something a novice should attempt?

Removing the pump is 3 bolts, but you use lots of brightly coloured language to get to all the bolts....
refitting the pump..... still there will be a bit of colourful language used, but not as much as taking it off.

Does that price include a dyno to get the pump timing set up?
