I firmly believe that the Y62 is no more expensive than any other 2.7 ton off road vehicle to own and run!! Very good fuel figures, service charges are similar to others. No worries about oil...

You don't have to go far for the truth!!! Towing a 3 ton van with a Y62 19-23l/k. All to do with wind direction with my high and wide off road caravan. No van at 100-110k/h 12-13l/k. Mixing urban...

There is no comparison, totally different vehicles with the only similarity being their size. All else has no comparison and heck "Some things don't matter much and most things don't matter at all""....

Last trip 900k's with a moderate tail wind actually got 19k/100 from bowser figures, and appears to get 21/100 with no wind and the usual 23/100 against a wind. Not alot of difference to the V8 LC's....

Back now, averaged 21L/100 over 940 k's however 2/3 of trip against a head wind and then averaged 23L/100K's. One day hopefully I will get a tail wind and this should bring the average down. The head...

Hi, I just had the Firestone coil air bags fitted and they work really well. Only have them pumped to 15 psi with a 220kg ball weight on an almost 3 ton caravan. Mine is a Ti with the kinetic...

Still too early yet but after 261k's I could only get 49.4 litres in the tank. (19.4l/100k's) same as my GU 8 deisel it's range 17-20l/100k's same van with 200l's extra water to tow. The trip was...

OK I got 'em arse about, it was 7.6 &b 7.3 K/L. Around 13.4l/100k's. We also have an Xtrail 7 yo and there is no black soot in the tail pipe like there is in the Y62. Black soot indicates to me that...

I am off in a couple of days time for about a 600 k round trip towing a full size 2.8 ton off road van and will let you know how it goes. I am hoping for 19-23 l/100k's as that appears to be the...

Making room in our garage!! 1923 model T and the new girl!! 2013 build.

They appear to have timing chains, so no replacement. Maybe changing the CVT fluid is expensive!!!! cheers.

Picked the beast up yesterday! Yep fallen in love again. Oh well!!! I filled up and had 740 klms shown to empty and drove home to York 130 klms and the distance to empty was updating to show 898 klms...

Yea, I still have all my points so will have to really watch out!! Where did you get your K @ N air filter from? (internet?). Nissan's polocy of getting some out there cheap will certainly pay off...

Having spent a week or more in working out a replacement for my 2 yo Gu8 I ended up choosing a Landcruiser Vx diesel. However having once owned a toyota, was a little cautious of going ahead and...

Had it in for a warranty job. Technician's advised that the system is not good in any fringe reception area. Doesn't seem concerned and maybe I should be content with an inferior radio!!! My wife...

Hi,
I agree with" wogsrus" that the GU8 has no problem stopping on dirt roads, even towing a heavy caravan. I think you have a faulty unit and it should be checked out. cheers

I am not sure where the aerial earth is, will try and have a look. cheers

Hi, I have a couple of old cars and am also on the model T ford, Dodge Bros and Wolseley forums. These are all terrific and so is this one. Your forum showed me how to change the service belt and...

Can't find the introduction section, was on forum up to a couple of years ago. It's a 2012 GU8 maybe, My old 2006 patrol had an electric arial, it just broke when off road. Also eventually achieved...

I am wondering if others are having trouble with radio reception in newer model patrols, The arials are on the rear windows and mine are next to useless in outer areas. Had it back on warranty and...
