Nissan Patrol 4x4 (Africa)

Is the dash bubbled?.... if so, and you are in the JHB area, get into contact with Mark White Nissan. Mention that the guys from the Nissan 4x4 Club referred you to him. I am not sure as the the exact specifics on this, but Nissan SA should replace the dash at no cost as this was a factory fault. As I said they may say its too far out of warrantee, but it will be worth the effort !!! Mark White Nissan is very helpful apparently, especially towards the Nissan club guys.

Hope you come right.... as for the rest.... not sure other than hunt down the scrap yards

Unfortunately the previous owner tried to have it repaired already and made a mess of it. I’m not sure if Nissan will replace it now.

Hmmmm.... still possibly worth a try.... the worst they can say is no.....

Take NISSAN to court -- daar is afdoende bewyse dat dit 'n LATENTE gebrek is aan daardie reeks PATROLs en hulle is verplig om dit te vervang aan die hand van wetgewing [asook die nuwe Handels Wet]

Sommer strontttt dat hulle gemors kan verkoop en dan hulle gatte aan mens afsmeer. dis 'n skande.

The dash will need to be recovered.
Right mirror needs to be replaced as the housing is damaged.
Rear aircon knob is missing.

Anybody have these parts lying around and a decent place to have the dash recovered?

Thanks.

look at the dash job that chris skinner did on his dash or send him a pm

OK , although I reserverd the Patrol that I was intrested in the dealer decided to sell it off to another customer.

So now im looking for another 2005 4.8 Patrol for around 250k.

I will keep my eyes and ears open .....just send Raka a pm he has a dealership and moves a lot of patrols
Mabe he ccan give you a good price on trading your diesel in ?????

Kempton Park is becoming worse than Centurion! I saw 4 Patrols today! PA You have a diesel? I thought that was Izak. What are your reasons for going 4.8 - from a current diesel Patrol perspective?

There is a nice Champaign colour 4.8 standing at Inspect- a-Car in Voortrekkers Road in Pretoria for R240K. Winch and roofrack fitted. Looks clean. About 100 000km on the clock. I really think it is worth a good look. I can have a good look at it for you if you are interested as I live about 10km away. There is also a white 3.0 Td - little bit older and I haven't looked at it in any detail.
Incidently, this is where I bought my Troll.
