Good/Bad Nissan Service: Your Patrol story

[G-MAN]

Lunar. I have the same problem with the bubbles on the dash! My vehicle unluckly is not under warranty anymore..

[Lunar]

Same with me... The extended warranty on my Patrol is one of those "Motorite" ones.

Hi G-man and Lunar. Go to Schus nissan Parow. Jokkie de Roubaix is workshop manager and he changed my dash. The bubbles is a factory fault and shoud be change even it the car is out of guarentee. Speek to Jokkie and ask him if he can't help you with a claim. I now he has done 6 patrol dashboards in the last 4 months. 021 930 3333

I can also recommend Jokkie,

My hardbody's engine went bang on 150 000km, Jokkie handled the claim and Nissan replaced the engine. My only cost was servicing of injectors, cleaning of the radiator and a new clutch. All of which should have been done at 150k km in any case.

Try them

No Saltman, the parts I source myself was not to difficult to get. Even not from nissan.But some parts I had trouble to get from nissan,like v-belts I could not get,a waterpump I had to wait 3days and it cost R4200 for a 4.5.If you are my customer and I must tel you I can not get v-belts for your car,that is a worry.
Cheers

Sjoe Frans!

R 4200 se waterpomp - pomp die ding goud of is hy van goud gemaak ... ?

Hel, my Disco se waterpomp trek by R383,04 en toe wil ek al begin mor ... ek is nou tjoepstil en bid net dat die 4.8 se waterpomp sal hou vir die volgende 500 000 km ...

Is die V-belt oor die algemeen 'n moeilik bekombare item? Dit behoort nie te wees nie - dis mos 'n wear item! Ek wil 'n spaar een saamry, so wat jy vir my se is dat ek die ding eerder vroeer as later moet loop soek!

Dankie vir die skokkende inligting !!!

I think JOKKIEs name and number should be kept in every Patrol

[Lunar]

Thanks Vaatjie,

What is the cause the bubbles?

Still wait for Menlyn Nissan to get back to me.

Here are some picks.

You're right Ian,and Etienne the parts manager from parow and clairmont,he run between the two.
Saltman,ek het ook gedink die ding is van goud,want die pomp lyk soos n datsun bakkie se pomp niks fancy nie.Die V-belde was n probleem,kon ook nie glo vir so n eenvoudige item dit was nie beskikbaar nie.Altyd goed om n spaar stel saam te ry,ek verkies ook die agente se belde.Jy weet nooit wanneer jy jouself of n maat moet help nie.Die 4.5 waarop ek gewerk het, het ook by die forum aangesluit,Hermi Lategan.Hy moes daai vreeslike waterpomp rekening betaal

Hi Saltman
Dit is my eerste deelname aan die forum.Frans se skokende nuus oor die waterpomp -----is my kar.V-belde se beskikbaarheid het verbeter,veral die altenator belde. Lyk vir my dat mens net almal druk op Nissan moet sit .Ek praat egter nie van die local ouens nie.My grootste skok was DRIE (3)weke se wag vir waterpype. Ek wou net extra he vir n trip.

Nog n naam om te he is Ettiene Kuun by nissan
