Nissan Patrol 4x4 (Africa)

"Did you confirm the error code is for the steering wheel airbag? If you reset it, does the same error code reappear?" Yes, I did. my mechanic cleared it, but it came back within 100m, so that is when I replaced the whole unit. The cost was R4.8k, just for the part, 3 or 4 years ago!! Then the light...

Clem, the problem with taking an extra spare on a trip is the weight and where to put it!! Have you tried putting a tyre and rim on a roof rack? You need about 3 or 4 guys, and then they have to be TALL guys!! And then they get in each other's way doing it, and drop it once or twice before getting i...

Ian, the problem with the 10j's like that is that they are 15" rims, not 16's or 17's. I have standardised on 17" rims and tyres. The Pathfinder came with 17s, so I very soon upped my Patrol's 16" steelies to 2 sets of 17's - one set (5) is 17 x 8j (Patrol GRX mags) with ATR tyres and a set (also 5)...

I like them too, if in 10j !!

I had the same issue with my Pathfinder, so for US$23 I ordered clock spring from overseas on Ebay, only to discover that the RHD one differs from the LHD one that arrived here. Mine is clearly marked with a big R, the one from Ebay, had a big L on it, so I co...

The problem was solved in 2004 sometime and the 2005 models onward are considered "safe". I would rather look for a later model 3.0Di or even...

The finish is called a "diamond cut" and then spay painted with a clear coat after cutting. Most wheel repair companies can do that. I would suggest Mag Wheel Services, 106 12th Ave, corner Park Drive in Fordsburg. They are open Saturday mornings. It should not take more than a week, at most,to get ...

Clem,

You are probably can repair it. I have seen some severely damaged mags repaired to look like new again. Probably cheaper too!!

Never thought of it in those terms Cedric and Peter.....

No Peter, that was actual readings for torque at the wheels.
