Hi there
Name is V75, which is my call sign within the Off Road Rescue Unit or in short ORRU. Want to know what that is all about, check out our website http://www.offroadrescue.co.za. Been a member together with the wife for 10 years or so and was even choosen in the committe for a number of years. Due to work pressure was not available for re-election. Why member of this forum?? Well I bought my 1996 Nissan Patrol 4.2 Y60 SGL (Wagon) just before the 100K and is now sitting on 320K & starts to develop these "niggly" little things. This should be he best forum of accuiring more technical knowledge on the car and make contact with other Patrol owners. Last couple of years the car is only being used for ORRU related missions or Trips/Holidays unless one of the kids need my little run around.
