What is the charge? Eating a meal? A succulent Chinese meal??

Useful stuff string.
It is waterproof.
No it isn't.
It's water resistant.
No it isn't.
It's water absorbent, away with workaday floods & tidal waves.

The well packaged & undamaged replacement door lock turned up in the mail today. Despite having learned since ordering it that I could have bought the same thing from Dubai for 1/3rd of the price, & the first one arriving damaged, I reckon that Parry Nissan in Townsville deserve a plug. I had already left them feedback (on Ebay) before I discovered the damage. Plenty of ebay sellers wouldn't have wanted to know once they had received the feedback, but Callum at Parrys was polite, helpful & professional, & sorted it all out quickly. Wish more ebay sellers were like Parrys.
I'm still waiting to hear if they want the damaged one back, but suspect that they won't unless Nissan want more than photographic proof.

I would really like to find the designer of this system and cut their nuts out with a wooden spoon. I've been looking at this lock for the last hour seeing if precision drilling of the latch pin would work but then the snapped drill becomes a reality as mentioned in an earlier post. Also to cheer every other GU owner up. During my research this bastard of a problem exists on ALL Patrol models not just the DX. You have been warned

Hey Growler, i had a new stereo and alarm fitted to the GUIV last week an they had trouble with the drivers door. We have been opening it with a key for quite a long time as the Fob gave up the ghost. So now the alarm is hooked to the central locking and works from 1km away!! Love it! But the actuator on the drivers door keeps getting stuck in the alf position and i wonder if its on the way out? does this sound like what was happening to you before it sh1t itself?
Have you got a link to this unit? How much was it? does it include what the actuator for the central locking would manipulate? it looks to be.
Its a Nissan! =====> Its a Keeper!! ....... Got a TD42 in it BONUS!!
....... I'm a lucky bugger! I've got 2 of em!

The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.
