Yep sounds like it. Mine was especially bad on cold starts early in the morning, but it has been running well since I had it replaced - apparently they're known to only last around 120-130k if...

The most common issues for your symptoms is the idler pulley tensioner thingamajig.
Not a hard job to replace. Use only genuine gear, as all others are well known to develop issues again.

Also check the clutch pulley on the alternator

It does seem that some people have a ’thing’ about using public toilets, & especially ‘long drops’.
Not us though. Our Portapotti is for when camped at places where there is no public toilet &...

Search google "ironman toilet"

Option 1- a seat over a hole where possible, but obviously in well utilised camp spots holes full of crap everywhere are not on.

Option 2 - seat over a container containing compostable (not just...

X 2 on the tower brace kit. I read somewhere that fitting
those airbags gave a sort of counter lever affect putting pressure elsewhere
I have a small camper I tow and my suspension allows my...

Tower braces would be a smart idea too while your doing the springs.... Get under there with a light and check the existing towers for any cracks. Common issue with Patrols to crack when used under...

I would go the new springs as well.

As mentioned - springs will be the problem and airbags won't help.

Your shocks may still be perfectly fine, but should be checked anyway after a good long trip like that.

I just changed out all...

I did shocks, springs and poly airs. Careful how heavy you go as the ride can turn to crap if you go too heavy.

I agree with ET

if its dragging its bum............

new springs and shockies

air bags are good, but wont fix an existing problem, only help keep a problem away on good suspension

Don't go the airbags
The Towball weight of the Argyle should be 80 to 120 Kg (the Tare is only 800).
A Patrol shouldn't even notice that... so if you have got the "Dog with Worms dragging its butt"...

I would go the coils, other may go the air bags

Finally finished setting up my reversing camera for the VMS X506 in dash unit in my 2008 GU Troll. I used I CMD17N from Parkmate and it tucked away nicely underneath the Patrol badge in the left barn...

You're a funny man Michael!

Left hand camp was definitely crowded 40-50+ camps, but the right nowhere near as crowded, probably about 15 camps. I think people on the left camp there because it is closer to the areas for...

Hi Michael,

In 2010 we camped (with camper trailer) at the King Edward River campgrounds and just did a day trip up to the falls. Quite easily done in a day, but we did walk in and helicopter out....

Hi Michael,

I took my offroad camper to Mitchell Falls campground last year, if the trailer is strong and you are willing to go slow and lookout for larger holes it is ok but it would be a more...

absolutely get it all flushed out if your going synthetic I put penrite semi mhp, I took the pan off changed the filter and used compressor up the cooler pipe and got 8 litres out. (measured it) put...

You can't drain it, you need to flush it. The process wastes a bit of oil but you get the whole system flushed including cooler and lines. Highly recommended if your changing to synthetic.

NATS -
"Nissan Anti-Theft System" is a factory term for the Patrol Security system and the acronym was pirated to get NADS.

Michael go to the search box top right mate type in nads and you will find all the info you need, about a weeks worth of reading if you are so inclined lol.

Welcome mate.
I'm pretty sure some did do a lost of all the abbreviations. The search function is a good one here.

But NADS stands for Nissan anti detonation system.
It's aimed at giving the...
