Nissan Patrol 4x4 (Africa)

ha ha.....thanks man...I hope so too.

I should get the head back today

Well all is on tight and torqued... she purrs like a jungle cat with laryngitis.... sounds lovely !!!

I'm thinking about sending the Iron Maiden to Alan Black in springs to set up the diesel pump 100%. I think she is still overfueling a little and probably just needs a little diesel pump lovin. I hear these guys are the gurus this side of the world when it comes to diesel pumps......lets hope so

Did you use that head that we spoke about?????

Yes I did Tinus, I was told by the one guy when I took the head there to get the valves fitted etc that he thought it looked like the head was a recon head. After I spoke to the chap that got me the head, he confirmed with the supplier that it is a new head and not a recon..... so hopefully all is well now..... vasbyt

Tinus... thanks again for your help mate !!

Always a pleasure !!!!! What did everything cost at the end???

Ricster,


Suggest you take it to SAC Centurion. Talk to Mynhard or Gerhard. They have worked wonder on my troll and are very fimiliar with the patrol diesels.

Tinus....

Head (new) R 5500
gasket (Nissan agent) R 1500
10L delo 400 oil R 440
engineering (incl. valve stem seals) R 450
5L diesel (cleaning) R 50

total R 7940

plus one case Hunters dry to celebrate..... priceless

Grant.....

Do you know if they are open on Saturdays?... Its just @%$# difficult to get there during the day, due to me being in Alberton. If not, I'd have to get the car there one afternoon/evening, leave it there overnight and try get there the next evening to collect. I use the Maiden as my everyday car, so.....

I'll search the internet for their number, and see what can be done
