Will probably just do it my self, I kept my previous 2007 GRX singing sweetly until I got the new one. Even did some of the slightly bigger jobs by myself as well e.g. 2” lift. It’s however good to have access to a pro - will keep Anthony in mind.

It was for 60,000 km major service and also paid R7k.

In the Vaal Triangle… at least you got an oil change done. Very unclear with what they were thinking here.

I got lucky today :woo: 2018 Patrol GRX was booked in for 60k service - called on Monday, dropped off on Tuesday for service on Wednesday… Got a call around 13:00, out of motorplan (and out of warranty I suppose) it will be R14k for the service - all the usual and then spark plugs, front and rear br...

This looks even better. Is it possible get this made in SA?

I had a 2007 4.8 GRX to which I fitted a Bosal towbar that I bought from Nissan. It was quite a job to install as I needed to drill holes and add some supplied stiffner tubes inside the chassis rails. I was very happy with that and sold the ‘trol with that in 2018.... My new 2018 GRX needed a towbar...

6.3km/ltr or 15.87ltrs/100km

Ja-nee. That’s impressive - I am on my second 4.8 and I only saw those numbers on rare occasions - down-hill and tailwind would be prerequisites.

Ahhh .... Photobucket. I still have those photos, will see if I can upload that in some way. That Patrol has been sold, I plan to do the same with my new Patrol.
