Nissan Patrol 4x4 (Africa)

I'm looking for the hinges that fixes the third row seat (bench) to the body of a 95 Y60.

Latest update on the flooding problem: My uncle - who used to be a mechanic visited recently. I told him about my problem and immediately started working on the carb (22:00 Sunday evening). Started taking the carb apart from the top. When he got the needle, he noticed a spring-loaded bracket that wa...

Peter (en Oom Mac, en enige iemand anders met 'n sent) Twee vragies: Hoe lank hou 'n viscous fan? (of is veronderstel om te hou?) Het jy nog die oorspronklike vergasser op jou masjien? Is dit die moeite werd om iets soos 'n Holley op te sit? Ek hou van my vergasser, maar dit lyk my ek sukkel om 'n c...

Peter Nice trip report. Oorweeg dit self om Lesotho in April te doen. Op 'n tegniese noot, ek vind ook dat my Trol (ook 'n TB42) 'n bietjie warmer hardloop as gewoonlik. Ek het die verskil begin sien nadat ek groter (en breer) wiele opgesit het. Die een rubberpyp na die ander het die gees begin gee,...

I see Ross mentioned the same experience, and then mentioned the size of his tires. I've also noticed recently that my 96 4.2 SGL runs at higher temperatures than I'm used to. This began after I put some bigger rubber on the car (also 33' Bighorns). Would the the tire size really make such a big dif...

Some feedback so far: I am still waiting for the carb kit , but in the meantime the mech has suggested that I start the Patrol at least every second day and have it idle for a few minutes, just to keep everything wet I suppose. Been doing that now for two weeks and never had a starting problem since...

Peter Thanks for the info - especially where I can find the parts. The guys at Nissan reckons my Trol was made in Germany - ja whol! No wonder the Jap is a bit confused in Africa. I'll definitely look into the bypassing trick once the flooding problem is sorted. Who knows, maybe I will also challeng...

Jules Carb kit is what the mech suggested, only it seems a bit hard to find one. I'll ask him about electronic ignition as I don't know what that is and how it works. I'm thinking of trying ignition by matches... I saw your post on the jerky Troll and already forwarded that advice from TourdeFrans t...

Hi all I've been looking at your forum for a while now and found it most informative. I'm a greenhorn when it comes to things mechanical, but I have a keen spirit to learn more. I've bought a second hand '96 4.2 SGL Petrol with about 200k on the clock. I basically use it as weekend toy, and try to e...
