Lack of meat in their diets too no doubt
Yeah 99 to 01 I think Nissan had a brain wave and your one of the lucky ones mate!
Does anyone know why they did that?

It's a Nissan thing [emoji3]
There's a thread on here somewhere that discusses the subject a bit.... Some td42s had different sized filters and some were the same size. Can't remember what years...
Wow pretty good result kudos to them for taking such ownership. Mine had cracked precomps which is fairly common, so for a few bucks will have a fresh top end, turbo and probably best of all peace...
I guess they have nochoice but to come to the party really..... Seeing as they had supposedly done a service on it prior to sale. I'm sure they would have noticed the sand if they had done one..........
That is a bloody good outcome and it's good to see them stepping up and taking responsibility for it.
Make sure you let them know how happy you are with their response.

This is a really interesting thread for me.
After i bought my 2004 ZD30 i set about doing the full service inc. all the filters.
I'm glad i did. the air filter was fluffed right up, the inside of...
Yeah have to agree with MB she'll be right I reckon. My old turbo looked worse than that, have pulled the motor down somewhat at the moment for other reasons and is in pretty good condition- can...
Don’t stress too hard mate, they are a very tough donk! Work with the TD42 gurus info here and give it some TLC, she’ll be right mate!!

Turbine looks like it's coped a bit of something but doesn't look shocking tho, my old safari is worse than that. What is the black from on the housing looks a bit wierd? Assuming it's the standard...
Ouch, not too pretty TA mate!
Ask around nicely and I’m sure that at least one of the upgraded blokes here could send you a free stocky from their shelves ;-)

Have a really good look at all of the rubber bushes on the suspension, especially the panhard rod bushes. When you change out the brake fluid, remember to do the Load Sensing Valve (some call it the...
Have used ‘empty clean old’ automatic transmission 1L fluid bottles to fill with manual gearbox/transfer/diff oils in the past. Much more fun as you can pretend it’s a squeezy fun bag stress toy :-) ...
Or just fill a bucket or small esky full of hot water and leave the unopened oil bottle in the hot water to heat up and thin out. Then have a celebratory wank... win win
Trannny fluid replacement at home is a nightmare!
Get a manual pump, use your good arm and don't have a wank that day as you'll need all the strength and endurance!

Agree with the blokes above mate. Such a great truck you’ve bought there with an iconic, becoming rare motor to boot at only 260k clicks if true. Should be a lifetime truck for you, give it the best...
Major service in a Patrol is every 40K, so the next major is due in 20,000klms
Hard to know with a 4.2 as the oil goes black the moment you turn the key after an oil change, but for peace of mind...
I would personally do everything so you can start fresh with it.
Engine, gearbox, transfer, coolant, etc.
You could take off the pipe to the turbo and inspect the turbo fins to see if the fins...
That's what my airbox was like when I did the conversion. Wasn't a huge amount but there was a bit too make me think holy c. . p oh bugger ! ! The motor came out of a car that rolled so assumed...
Does it have a snorkel? They usually prevent that sort of thing happening.
If it doesn't blow blue smoke, or there are no oil leaks due to excessive blow-by you may have dodged a bullet. A compression check will tell you if the engine has been dusted.
If the readings...
Hopefully the filter did its job , if the motor runs ok I'm thinking all good .
