The Rusty Lemon
Hi all,
Bought a 2008 Nissan Patrol GU DX in 2011 and have had nothing but grief from it. Went to do the Old Telegraph Track in QLD and the lemon died on us. Had to have the thing put on a road train back down to Cains and wave good bye to the others. Then it developed an issue where once it hit 100km it lost power for 10 secs. Have tried to have it fixed twice but the problem just keeps getting worse. Before it was only happening occasionally, now it is every time you get to 90-100km, the power dissappears and then fluctuates. With my foot to the floor I was doing 85km on the freeway the other week. Now the lemon is banished to the garage to grow rust cos I'm so sick of its issues I dont want to even look at it.
My partner wont let me sell the blasted thing and I want to go camping and 4x4ing damnit, but I cant in the Lemon.
So I'm desperate. Has anyone seen this issue before? Do you know of anyone that might have? Do you know a freaking amazing auto guy that will be able to fix it. Any help appreciated guys.

Hi Rusty. Welcome to the forum.
What you're experiencing maybe is limp mode from the sounds of things. Limp mode is triggered by a number of factors, but the most influential one is overboosting. Extremely common on the ZD30. When you say you lose power for 10 seconds, it is more likely to be that you've taken your foot off the pedal and then reapplied it, which resets the limp mode and you gain all the power back.
Search for lump mode on this forum and have a read through some of the threads.
