Last year, I was tossing up between a Defender and a Patrol. After heavy researching, I made my mind that Patrols are much more reliable for Aussie land.
So I went to a car shop in Adelaide Hills and I got a Nissan Patrol GU IV 2006 from NT fleet (107 kms). I always admired the Patrols anyway, read a lot about them and was really happy and confident to get a second hand one till the notorius issue happened with me a week ago.
The rig was getting warmer and warmer every time I went for a drive so decided to go to the local mechanic for a quick check- up. And yes bang! the Head is cracked and I got a bill of $2500 for it. I have to say I got really disappointed with it considering the low ks and supposedly very good service of Gov cars.
My question is: After the new Head replacement, Can I be confident to go around Australia on it without problems? or time for an update already?
