Welcome to the forum. The 2.8 is a great little engine, with a few quirks, but it will get you where you want to go. http://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forums/showthread.php?41430-RD28-Important-things-to-check

Thanks for the link mudnut,
I am experiening a couple of those problems already and read some excellent info here.
The previous owner just replaced the Tensioner Bearing as it almost totally collapsed he got to it before doing any other damage.
I noticed the harmonic balancer wobbling so about to check that out its a common problem to.
Hard starting after hot which I believe is caused by the old battery in it as it glows and starts well when cold.
Slight oil weeping at the top of rocker cover, appears to come from the vacuum pump there's thin oil leaking onto the turbo not good.
Got my work cut out already but it was a good buy I cn afford to fix it.
Cheers mate.
