OK having grown up on Land rovers I know nothing about Patrols. I pick up my first one next week. A 2003 4.8 ST-L.. So I apologies in advance for all the stupid newbie questions I'm about to ask.
:icon_driving:When I test drove the car I found moving the 2nd gear stick to 4high and then low was hard. I stopped the car and put it in park but it was hard to move, it went in but was hard. Sometimes there was a grinding because it wasn't in any gear (good anti theft device to leave your low box in neutral)
The x owner was actually at the dealership at the time i was there so I was lucky enougth to ask him a few question. He did mention that he never went off road and had only used low a few time.
I know in my old rusty rang rover if you didn't use low it "froze up".. Is it the same with Nissans?
Im hoping its just a liberal dose of grease or WD40 is needed... What do people think?
Thanks
Paul
