Hi everyone
I have a question for the mechanically savvy forum users. I have a Patrol Gu IV 2008 which is making a screeching sound which disappears as the engine warms up.
Had the vehicle serviced today (85000 on clock). Nissan told me they think that it is either a broken gasket on the engine manifold or possibly a crack in the manifold. They reckon as the engine warms up the manifold expands and closes the crack, hence sound stops.
My question is, how long would it take a mechanic to strip the engine down and investigate the problem to confirm what the problem is. Nissan have told me how long they would take and the cost $$$$$$$:frown:
Furthermore can anyone recommend a good diesel mechanic to give me a second opinion, i live close to Freo.
Thanks for any advice and opinions in advance.
Regards Chris
