what to look for with patrol's

[denviks]

hi all.......anyone had any experiance with nissan patrols?

what is there to look at before buying? i have a friend to who is looking to purchase one and has asked but i know nothing about them

[LePaj]

a friend hey

Well they are tough! look out for the usual on any vehicle I guess - they are quite wide for some of our UK lanes especially if you put bigger boots on

[denviks]

no this one is for a friend....i was talking about liking them alot...he is in the look out for one so asked if i could find out more about them....he is on the road only

who knows i may end up liking one too

[LePaj]

Ahh I see well as you said before... the torque and sound of a 4.2 diesel lump is the way to go

[Andrew]

i quiet like them aswell

[Nick4X4]

I nearly brought one years ago
just tell your "friend" to remember the chances are it's been in the uk from new as i dont think theres many imports of them like the paj's!
so depending on age check for rust.....all other things you know what to look for

[ninja01]

i know you said your friend will only be on the road but the big french guy at the five piliers had one and it looks, sound great and is more than capable

[denviks]

omg... you lot seem to think its for me


honestly guys clunk will be with me for a while yet , but i do like the patrols aswell. if it were for me i would be looking at the 3 ltr diesel or the 2.8. the 4.2 is a bit greedy for my liking

i will pass all info on . thanks guys

look out for corrosion, I looked at about 5 or 6 from 1997 through to 99 and all of them had corrosion around the rear sill area and under the plastic arch covers

the 4.2 is a bit greedy for my liking

why ?
the 4.2 landcruiser amazon is better on feul than a lighter 3.0 landcruiser colorado

wish i new that before i got my colorado tbh i really wanted the amazon but the wife said it was too big
