Nissan Patrol 4x4 (Africa)

Hi Folks So we're looking to hire a 6 berth (or more) caravan for a week at the end of April (trip from Cape Town to the Karoo for Afrika Burn). Very few left in Cape Town and working out to about R16k to hire for the week! Found several caravans for sale for around R30k on Gumtree, and even one as ...

Here is another thread on the same vehicle: http://patrol4x4.co.za/viewtopic.php?f=65&t=5802

Aah ok! Haha I see quite a few had Mad Max flashbacks there!

Hahaha thought you would've warmed up to the laidback, but strong and steady 4.2D by now Tinus? Well it needed time to win you over - too slow in more ways than one.

Where did you get the turbo from and what do you mean by turbo friendlier motor? Geniet dit!

Aaaah didn't consider that Bogeyman - makes sense! I thought it was over-engineered but it's actually under!

Peter, current owner just had it a month - maybe scared off by the guzzling..

Thanks for that Oompi!

Will def. look into all your recommendations

Josh considering mine's done over 300k kms I'd guess mine's made in EU :P

Where's that freakin mother of a bulbar from? A truck??

Going to go ogle it this weekend (terrified of approaching that beast)

If anyone is interested, I can check it out for them

Thanks for that Wilkie. I've done just over 305000km on my 2002 Hardbody ZD30. She hasn't given me any major problems - had the turbo serviced once. Perhaps the issues she's been such an old faithful is because she's been superslow going up hills for as long as I can remember. My 4.2D GQ does better...

Aaah interesting
