Nissan Patrol 4x4 (Africa)

This is just a brief recount of some of my trips since buying my Patrol in Belfast NI. In Nov 2010. I know its quite vague, but its main purpose is to outline a few routes I have done with a view to give members planning something similar, any help I can with my current experience. As all my camping...

Mine had exactly the same symptoms. Right in the beginning of this post, Koos Best mentioned the adjustment to the VNT screw for the turbo. After I turned mine down, the problem went away. I found that at the coast however, higher atmospheric pressure, the symptom happened again occasionally, so i t...

Hi Tony. I found that when doing the few mods to my 3.0, I had to do them piecemeal because when something odd happened, I was not sure which one caused the problem. Do you have a boost gauge? Can you turn the VIN screw back to its original position and check again? I have attached, I hope, some inf...

Thanks Peter. I looked up Pandamatenga on T4A and it certainly makes sense to use that border post. Will make sure too I have the right reflectors. Mike has contacted me and given me a lot of useful information and a whole lot of threads to read up on. Thanks once again for all your help. Regards. B...

As luck would have it, we were in Deception and at the ...

Just want to say thank you to Chuck Norris and Christo for the kind donation of some of Chuck Norris's organs to get my Troll looking good again. Will post some pictures after the transplant.

Kindest regards.

Hi Tejan, and a warm welcome to this very friendly forum. About 2 years ago, I went to a scrap yard, I think in Gokul road Isipingo, to view what I had thought was a Y61, however it was your shape but petrol. If you look up scrap yards in that area you will probably find the Patrol. I cannot remembe...

after reading this post I thought I must give some of my experiences with the clutch. When my 5th gear went while in Ethiopia I returned to Vim Hollands place where he has a pit. Getting a new 5th gear in Ethiopia was extremely expensive so I decided to remove the box, wash out the bits of broken sp...
