oilburner98,
Sorry for not getting to you earlier. Have now sold my 2.8 and running a DI 3 litre GU.

I've had a 2.8 litre GU and on that the duel filter DID fill with water once. NO ! the light did not come on, but there was a splutter from the engine, a cough or two, then a bang, engine stopped and...

Tony;
I would suggest, inserting in the coolant part, USE ONLY NISSAN RECOMMENDED COOLANT, available in 4.5 liter containers, fill radiator with ALL the 4.5 then top up with distiled water.

Question; After reading all the negative comments on here regarding EGR, I find I must ask the question, are all DIESEL powered vehicles today fitted with this system ?

The sub tank on my old 2.8 AND my new 3 liter works easily if you use 1/4 of your main tank, or even half, then turn on the sub tank and TRANSFER fuel to the main tank, when FULL, it will...

Had similar problem with my 2.8 recently.
First thing I need to establish, have you done any modifications concerning electrics lately, like fitting extra gear ? If so, was the sub tank working fine...

I had HOLDEN globe holders fitted, however, the brake fuse then melted the plastic on the fues holder around the fuse, causing it to become useless, had to rewire the fuse arrangement with bakelight...

I too have the same plug spare on my 2006 ST GU fitted with Factory cruise control.

I had one of these fitted to my 98 2.8 TDe, and when the central locking played up, Nissan flatly refused to even look at it because I had fitted an alarm not Nissan.
Took it to the folks who...

Wack a solar panel on it, doesn't need to be a large one if the trailer is being used almost every day

Hi lufkin,
As promised, the coolant being used in myPatrol is a POWERUP product called Koolmax 50.

Luf, give me until tomorrow, getting a four core radiator put in my patrol then, and I'll ask my mechanic the name of the coolant he's using, pass it on to you then.What I do know, is the coolant is...

Um, seriously, if I were you, I'd do some serious checking of my wiring, cause on my 2.8 it sucks it DOWNWARDS.

Wild98,
Don't take this the wrong way mate, but seriously, *extractors on a diesel turbo charged engine* ? Clearly, you don't know too much about diesels and turbo charging, good thing you've come...

Does this mean that the flyscreen socks you put over your windows keepin the bugs out whilst the windows open are illegal also ?

As a 2.8 GU owner myself, I'd advise you go the way of the 3 litre, just make sure it's at least 5 or 6 years old, younger would be better, but AVOID the 1999 thru to 2005 years, far to much grief....

G'day Bigrig,

I have a 2.8 TD GU Patrol, owned it now for 6 years. Recently had blown head gasket and 6 stuffed exhaust valves. Anyway, the point is, when she blew the coolant out, took her to...

G'day bushtracker,
I have owned my 2.8 liter GU Patrol now for six years, when I first purchased it, I HATED :devilred: the colour of the oil, even after a new oil change, it became filthy far too...

G'day John, the coolant reservoirs are for the radiator HEADER tank, that's the one on top, the one on the bottom is the OVERFLOW tank, and should never be higher then the mark thats marked on the...

Why would you stick a 3 liter when you can put a 4.2 in from the get go ? ?
Be advised a 2.8 has different gear box which would also need to be changed out of going up to 3 liter or 4.2.
However, I...
