It's a 3ltr nisian there cheep to pick up Becouse there a time bomb. Some call them the (grenade) I would stay clear the running gear is all good but the engine will need serious money spent every 50 thousand km ?... Some people say they never had a problem and others go through a engine rebuild at 10 grand +++. The older patrol gu 4.2 turbo desiel 1999 to 2004 (that has not been malestered with cheep eBay parts) Hard to find that's why you still pay 20 to 30 thousand for them.

Ok thanks they want 9 for it. It is a stock standard nothing been done to it. My partner said it hasn't got much power took it for a drive around the block a couple times

Yeah I'd stay away... 3 ltr patrol was not a good thing.
But my 4.2 patrol is not built for speed it's build to pur along and get me there and back... I'm not in a rush and the speed limit is only 110 100 up where I go but off the track it's nice to feel safe and not be sliding around towing my camper..

Hi mo1,try all connections in the fuel line as there could be a loose one or a split in a flexible hose allowing it to suck air.Had similar with my 2.8 .
Cheers & happy patrolling.

I have a Nissan patrol ZD 30, y61. It cuts off intermittently. I changed the fuel filter, cleaned the MAF and replaced the ECU relay but it still happens. Sometimes it goes without cutting off. When it does cut off, it will start but cut off again. If I keep it standing for 30 minutes, it will start again. No white smoke or black smoke Any ideas

I have a 2009 3.0 TD Stock and I only get 600kms from the main tank, does anybody have and modifications that have improved their range

That sounds about right at 15ltrs per 100km. Ypu can get the injector control unit remapped to inccreaase the fuel efficiency but check the side effects as well. Most proffessional diesel places can assost wirh this

I have the Y16 3.0 diesel turbo and get just over 700klms per tank but not sure if my tank is bigger than yours

What is your tank size? How many K have you done. A good tune up could be beneficial. Check tyre pressure, too soft increases fuel consumption. Roof racks increase fuel consumption. More info required. Cheers, Hans
