The TB42, TB45 and TD42 engined patrols all take the LUK Nissan Cabstar clutch kit, much cheaper than the stealer part.
If I remember correctly the LUK part number is either MK222 or RMK222.
Not sure what the options are for a TB48. or the 3.0TD
Hope that helps.

The 4.2 and 4.5 clutch do differ
They are the same size and all but the 4.5 has a solid centre clutch plate and the 4.2 diesel a cushing centre.Dont mix it ,the diesel will vibrate your ears off!

Okay...good to know. I was just going by what I read in the LUK catalouge a while back when I replaced mine!

A agent clucth kit is +-R1800 for the clutch plate,R3500 for the pressure plate and release bearing R350.The rear main seal R1200 ,witch is a one piece,so a clutch job can be expensive without the labour.You can buy a aftermarket kit for R2500,the release bearing they supply is wrong,but buy the agent one.The rearmain seal is not a problem,buy a lose seal aftermarket and with very little machineing make it fit in the old housing.The seal is about R40.A after market clutch work just fine in a petrol 4.5 and just as good in a diesel 4.2 but the gearbox is a little more noizy in neutral on idle,only the diesels.Reason for that is the aftermarket clutch's centre piece springs are harder and carry the enjin noice trough the g-box.Trust me I found it the hard way after the 3rd time I pulled the box.
With the wrong plate in my car the first time it sound like a truck with a cummings enjine and a fuller box that done a million miles.Driveing it in 4th gear (one to one ratio) it change the mirror ajustment,very bad.Any way my car is fixed and runnig like a mouse with socks.
