Re: Water Leak
Is it possible that the overflow bottle is too full? I cant see any high\low markings on the bottle. The bottle is filled up with about 50mm gap to the cap.

Re: Water Leak
I can confirm the overflow pipe is clear. I can easily blow bubbles into the overflow tank. The leak seems like water is coming out between the thin plastic overflow extension from the filler and the hose if that makes sense. I am not seeing any evidence of water coming from where that little pipe i...

I did a 350km trip without any heating issues. However..... There is a constant dripping leak at the hose attached to the overflo...

Re: Radiator
I am now at the point to buy a new radiator and as suggested I tried to contact Frans here in CPT at the supplied number earlier in the post. Can anyone confirm if this number is still valid? Zero 8 Three 40 Nine 2 50 Nine.

Re: Tail light supplier
Unfortunately they do not sell the face-lift version in South Africa. I have now bought Depo lights for the facelift model in Dubai. I fortunately have someone that can bring them for me. Fully functional (Not Dummy) set of lights R904 if you can figure out how to get it here

Re: 4.8 Service
Ok So I finally found the capacities in the Nissan Service Manual which states 1.9Litres. I suppose 1.5. is reasonable amount of new oil to be putting in. The Transfer was not warm. I will do another drain after a short while as the transfer was still running GL4 which I now replaced with ATF. So th...

Re: 4.8 Service
I was also surprised that I only changed 1.5L on transfer case. Was expecting 2 - 2.5l. Not that I have seen any official documentation on capacity. I checked now again and when I open the filler plug on the transfer case the new oil started to run out. As I have it vehicle has to be on flat surface...

Re: 4.8 Service
So I did the Diff and Transfer case oil changes over the past weekend. I am waiting for DTM Helderberg to get new stock on ATF. Front Diff took 5+ litres to fill. The oil I took out looked good and no surprises were stuck to the magnet. Rear Diff took about 3.5 litres to fill. Oil was slightly dirti...

Re: ATF To Replace or to Flush
Thanks guys. I also thought that oil looked pretty good. I just really wanted to look as the car is already on +300k on the clock. I might then just do a normal oil change Just one thing. That sample was sucked up from the filler pipe. I assume if the car was left to idle up to temperature evidence ...
