Good day, fellows,
About a month ago, my diesel tank started leaking so bad that it was impossible to drive the car. I've got a RD28T Spanish-made Patrol W260, which is now getting lots of air...
Sorry to disappoint you, mate, but I've graduated in British-English, lol. Though the Russians have torn my written English apart now :P
But when you mention it, it's an utter shame that the current...
It's left hand drive. I'll have a proper look today, if I am able to do so before my plane departs.
Welcome aboard! Look forward to loads of information and juicy reading!
Thanks lads! I just wanted to get some ideas thrown around so I could work more effective with the car when I'm back - this is perfect! I'll keep you updated!
As mates were close (watching some sports), we had a short ride in the cold night-air. He said it felt like it came from the right side, and above. I've checked the door, which seems fine, the rubber...
So Gents, as this might not be a problem for you with your rather warm climate - it is for us.
The front passenger, that would be the right side of my car, get their legs and feet exposed to some...
Welcome aboard!
Where are you from, and what engine do you have?
Welcome to the forum, говорун!))
I am from Norway, but I've lived my recent years in g. Murmansk, Murmanskaja oblast. (Kazhdij den' ezdil UAZ i Nivu)
If you need any specific help with...
Didn't see your post before now :P
Beautiful MK! My dream was a 3.3 GQ, but I ended up with a 260 as you know. I hope we're able to get some proper information up here on the RD28T engine, as the...
I had triple up the problems. Several lads complained because of lots of white smoke on startup and only a couple of cylinders working until the engine got warm. Well, I had 4 cylinders working, the...
I had the same issue since I got my 260. It showed 3/4 when full, and completely empty when there actually was 3/4 left. The whole instrument-panel was acting up, so I opened her up and found a lot...
I've been searching around for this specifically, as me and most of my friends with 80's Patrol experience quite some wobbling and shaking at 70-90 km/h - quite violently shaking actually. Anyhow,...
I heard the same from Bruno - to change it to red. I'm surprised that if it really was that effective that nobody has done that with our cars before us. I've constantly been witness to the "Red, blue...
Really interesting, as all the Nissan dealers and Bruno stated that they had never seen a 260 "bastard" rebuilt MK/MQ in Norway - but that was a high-roof one? A bloody shame that it wasn't a TD42...
Some people seem to ad intercoolers, which is probably not a bad idea. My experience is that the turbo really throw extremely hot air around, so when the engine is working harder, it becomes a...
If you really want to change the radiator, I'd advise you to search on Finn.no. There's an overflow of Patrols there that are being sold in parts all over the country - but I think those are just as...
Yup, that's exactly right, Frode. I barely knew the guy, but I got a very good deal. He's got nill information on it himself, but me and Bruno figured out it was probably the only 260 wagon in...
I see. What I don't see is how they've made them with the RD28, non turbo-engine - they've got to be severely underpowered (?)
I think we'll make a good thread out of the RD28T design, which will...
Aye. All the 260s in Norway were short (officially imported), and the rest, like mine, a long wagon 260 was privately imported. All made in Spain. My even has Spanish only manuals and such. Not so...
I've got an RD28T with 304 000 kilometres on it. The head is known for cracking up at 250K here in Norway, due to the constant changes of climate from warm summers to -30 Celsius winters - and of...
I know about Gumtree, but most of the sellers there are "afraid" to ship to Norway, due to the risk of things getting damaged in transit and such. :(
Anyhow, Aussie-orders are quite expensive at the...
Ah, Trønder, ja ;)
I'm a little bit of everything, but from this summer on, I will be living in Trondheim (NTNU).
If you want, I can PM you Bruno's number, if you don't have it. He's got...
Thanks for the warm welcome! I will probably get started with the turbo and the engine. As far as I've understood, you didn't get the RD28T in Australia? That's the most common Patrol-engine in...
Thanks mate! I'm looking forward to the Patrol-adventure that lies ahead of me! I'll try to get in touch with the Norwegian members here, for cooperation ;)
