The 260 series was a facelifted version of the Spanish-built 160 (easily spotted by the rectangular headlamps) sold in Europe and available in SWB and LWB with L28, SD33, RD28 and RD28T engines. The SD-engined version, at least in the UK market, had a 24-volt electrical system. Nissan helped Nissan Ibérica amortize plant investments. The 260 Patrol later received a facelift with a new grille similar to that of the Y60 series which succeeded this generation elsewhere. Spanish production continued until 1994 for export and until 2002 for the Spanish domestic market.
I would suggest the Manuals on here for the MQ/MK Patrol and the RD28T engine supplement would be the best, failing that an MQ manual for wiring etc and a GQ with the 2.8T engine should at least cover the mechanicals etc
ET, thanks for that, didn't even consider Wiki to be honest. Sounds like the 260 is a bit of a hybrid to some degree from some solid platforms.
Thank you for your help :)) nice to meet youQuote:

So i thought i would have a look only to find out my vin number is incorrect and found nothing so as things were going from bad to worse i gave up as it getting late and went to bed. So i understand how you feel trying to find out what model your is.
Originally i was trying to find Nissan part numbers but i believe that will end up in to hard basket along with vin numbers.
