Advice on buying a second hand Patrol
hi there
my wife and I have decided we like the Nissan Patrols and we would appreciate a little advice here before we lay down some money for a second hand Patrol, if we can find one that is relatively fault free. from past information we have discovered that there is a problem with the ZD30 engine, but I am not sure which year model had this problem and if it was rectified for future models ?. I am assuming that the problem was sorted out due to the amount of patrols we see on the road.
again we appreciate any advice

hey Tony
thanks for the link, I have seen a few really good patrols on the market, i have been looking at 2006 - 2010 diesel models so far, from what I have read that is a good year bracket to look for unless a 4.2 TD becomes available ha ha. I cannot physically look until next month when I return to Aus, so the i-net is my shopping trolley (so to speak). I will keep looking at the age vehicles i have mentioned unless advised otherwise.
thanks mate
steve

don't be afraid to go older if you find a good one - just picked up an 88 model Ford Maverick (read GQ Patrol) with the mechanics in immaculate condition and 'only' 350k on the clock. Still hums like a sewing machine and very few clunks, squeaks or rattles.

g'day Steve and welcome aboard mate..... hope you find what you're looking for soon mate.
I would suggest trying to find something with as much up to date service history and receipts as possible. I have a 94 GQ 4.2 petrol and previous owners have kept everything up to date and so far I've done the same.
