Nissan Patrol 3.0 Di GL

[RyanJackson]

Hi All,

I am looking for a Patrol 3.0 Di GL. Preferably a newer model (I already have an old vehicle).

I do have few concerns. I have heard that parts are a bit of a problem, anything outside of service and maintenance parts.
I am also not sure on the availability of aftermarket items like diff locks etc (less of a concern after reading some of the forum).

Can anyone help?

Thanks,
Ryan

Ryan, just phone Tinus.

He is in your area, knows about pretty much every car available and is a terrain tamer agent to boot.

And what you can't get from Tinus and/or Terrain Tamer is quick, easy, and relatively cheap, to import so it's pretty much covered and not really a problem.

I have not struggled to get parts.. While you are hunting, try get the CRD. I am very very happy with mine.

You’ll be fine with parts.
But. Just take them for proper test drives first.
My personal belief is that that little motor isn’t up to the task to move such a heavy car. But that’s just my personal opinion!

Thanks everyone! I will contact Tinus in the week.

I will keep this in mind.

Well I suppose after 22yrs and almost 900000km in a 4.2D the CRD will feel like a Ferrari

.... You definitely need a big turbo on that "just run in TD42"

When that ODO clicks over to 000000 for sure it will be ready for "varsmaak en windpomp"
