Newby Patrol Owner - Things to look out for
Posted: 16 Nov 2016 13:17
Hi Everyone
After trying out a platkar for 6 months now that I am a family man with responsibility, I could take it no longer, and have found a well looked after 2005 Patrol 4.8 GL with low mileage (115,000km). It was owned by a pedantic old man who looked after it very well. Hence my joining this forum to learn more about my new Patrol.
The Patrol has had its 120,000km service (as well as all previous services) done with Nissan, and I will have the diff and gearbox oil changed by the end of the week. Tyres and suspension are in good condition, and I hear or feel nothing strange when driving it on the road.
Not knowing anything about typical quirks with Patrols that are 11 years old and similar mileage, would you be able to give me some advice as to which parts/areas of the vehicle could typically give me issues, assuming normal on and offroad use over the last 115,000km?
