My New Pride and Joy

[agius91]

hi, I was looking for about 2 months dedicade, a 20hr drive to the top of Nsw, and after spending 15mins looking at a dud, in which the owner had told me it was micky. I flew back to Melbourne that night. To find this beaut the next morning only a 1 hr drive away. well that's my story and here are the details.

2005 NISSAN PATROL ST. COIL CAB/CHAIS WHITE.
4.2 TDI
117,000K's.
WHITE GALVINISED STEEL TRAY
GME UHF WITH CRAPPY LITTLE AREIAL MORE FOR CONVOY USE.
FACTORY STEEL BAR
DUAL BATTEREY WITH PARANAH MANEGEMENT SYSTEM
ELECTRONIC TRAILER BRAKE
SPOT LIGHTS, WITH REVERSE LED LIGHT.
REVERSE CAMERA ON RIVISION MIRROR
2.5 EXHAUST NOT TUNED.

Outside condition is really good, only spotting 2 dents in the door 2 in the hood and 2 in roof, but all very tiny or minute.
Interior has a few muddy stains but its all there in fairly good nick.
under the hood, what a mess. the factory wax was never removed.
Older gentleman and only used it for light camping and his hobby farm.
it had the full service history, wasn't really up to my standard tho. serviced every 10-12,000. didn't find this out until I brought the truck and he had the books on him. . but she runs like a dream and is a still a baby.
And Finally how much did a pay, 29,000. one very happy man.

Welcome to the forum mate

Welcome along mate the pics look great.

Thanks mate, as a new patrol owner I have a million and one questions.
At my 120,000ks. I want to do a major service but need help with choosing oils and filters, I would like to service my gearbox, diffs, transfer case, oil and fuel filter. Not to sure to block egr valve. And I'll get a professional to tune her. If you have any other recommendations. It would be much appreciated.

Welcome mate, surely the best forum on the net. If you need it, you can get it, if you want to know it, just ask it.
If you want to find it, go to the search bar for a universe of information.
Enjoy the sights and sounds of the greatest show on earth.

Welcome mate. And nice buy..
Deffently block the egr, but while your at it I'd be fitting boost and egt gauges if it doesn't have em, to keep tabs on what the motor is doing.
Also 10-12 thou is nothing for these engines. They are built like brick houses.
Just do a quick search (top right) for oils.

Anyway enjoy the New car.
What are some future mods planned?
Jump in and enjoy.

Welcome to the Patrol forum and family. Enjoy the chaos.

[agius91]

Thanks mate for the info. I did a little bit research on the egr, but got mixed views from some people. But I want to do it regardless. Future mods, are going to be a little while in the making, just need to put the funds together. Two inch lift, 33s, led light bar, winch, power outlets in the tray, I really want to go 3 inch exhaust. With egt gauge with boost. Diesel fuel filter. Turbo timer. A very big list that won't happen over night.
