19. Photos of you and your Vehicle: Coming soon. After I sold the Discovery 3 earlier this year when its maintenance contract expired, we realised that something was missing. But did not want to overinvest in an expensive 4x4 again. Realised that a good used Nissan Patrol will be excellent value as an extra car for holidays. Found a low mileage (58 000 km!) 4.2 SGL and collected it today. It feelsas if I had bought a toy that is going to last many years and kilometres!
This site gave me very useful guidance, and I hope it willhelp me to sort out / set up this Patrol to bring me lots of enjoyment.
