What did you do to your Patrol today!

Guys, was under the passenger side front dash area today and noticed the fan has come adrift from a heater box - I am guessing. What would cause this - the foam is perished, at the interface of the two boxes and everything appears firmly mounted.Attachment 80926

Foam looks like its just perished. I think it would be quite easy to make up your own.

See the part in red...

Easy peasy to get some slightly denser than normal foam and cut a gasket. Bin there, done that, Phil.

Many thanks guys, great bunch here. I was wondering if it could just fail, but I guess I have not been in it really since the rebuild began, I would not have noticed. I will have a look at the difficulty of getting a home made jobbie installed, however might ultimately default to a factory. Mark, is that pic from the overseas website or a local aussie buy from Nissan?

Hey Phil, I think it is fairly comon for the foam to disintegrate with age. Mine was pretty shot when I did the rebuild just used some door sealing strip stuff from bunnings seemed to work well.

That is from the Nissanfast program. The part number is at the bottom of the pic. I checked the part number and it seems to be discontinued. If you ring your local Ni$$an stealer and get them to check if there's any still available from any dealers.

I did the same with my GU when I had to change the heater core. I just used the door seal stuff from Bunnings as mine were pretty shot aswell.

Tested the old soft-roaders coils out this afternoon hauling a massive 2,000L of 78% N7, 21% O2 and a small mixture of some other crud :-)
