Disc pads need replace all around: best type?
Rear axel seals leaking: advice on fixing and new seals?

Fuel tank signs of leak from above maybe when filling? any advice
When on hoist one of the rear coil springs wants to fall out? shocks or something more sinister?

I use Bendix 4WD brake pads, they are the best in my opinion.
With the steering wheel, fill a syringe with super glue and stick it in, just inject it around the steel bar and leave for a while, that should fix it.

what wrong with the front door hinges ??
X 2 with the needle and super glue trick

Aftermarket steering wheels need to be the same diameter as the original or ot wont comply. To repair the original if you're are unable to do it yourself you can get a bloke to come out on site to glue it.

Repco and bursons should be able to organise aftermarket units or get some good second hand ones
Go genuine rubber pm Mudski he should stock them or try Patrolapart if Mark doesn't have them.
As Winnie said Bendix 4wd are the best still ausie made even tho they're owned by trw now but still THE BEST!!
Genuine new or second hand hinges, no aftermarket units available. Why did they fail anyway???
Drop the tank to see if a hose or the seal has perished. (I had a crv come into work the other day and the cap that hold the sender unit down was loose and was leaking when full)

Maybe your spring has sagged?? Or tye shocker is too long for your spring travel

That should keep you busy for a little while

For the steering wheel, I cut some small holes at intervals on the inner side and used a caulking gun to pump silicon between the grip and the steel. I then taped over the holes and kneaded the silicon until it was even. After the silicon was dry I removed the tape. It lasted for ten years.

Door hinges : dont buy cheap aftermarket ones, they'll last a month if your lucky. Go genuine Nissan and you never have to do them again.( patrolapart or maybe ebay) Replace the whole hinge. Just replacing the pins is a PITA.
Frayed seat belt; cant be repaired, must be replaced.... wreckers would be your best bet.

I recon the springs are sagged and just pulled the iron man shocks off and one feels stuffed, Iron man springs +50mm and foam cell shocks for $1200 any good?

Still can't see where fuel tank leak is pulled the inspection hatch from in the back lots of dirt but nothing wet around sender, pulled the filler rubber cover off and can't see any wet there etc Bugga May have to pull the tank out

Looks like only the top hinge's are stuffed may buy genuine drivers and cheep passengers
