However after just one great into into advanced 4WD at Lithgo (SISODRV302A with John Cantrell) I have had the following probs:
* Fuel filter light came on
* Started overheating
* Started stalling (when overheating)
* Mechanic changed fuel filters and cleaned all heads (expensive)
But all probs persist. I have changed mechanic. It's booked in tomorrow

Yesterday the fuel pump stopped working:(
So i thought i need to skill up on repairs for two reasons (keep my mechanic honest, running repairs on the road). So Here i am trying to download the service manual. They sell it on ebay for $20
2.8L. I wish I had opted for the larger engine tho. It struggles with the larger wheels
Hey mate. to be honest i was a skeptic but i think you may be right. the Nissan Patrol community could be just what I was looking for! Looking forward to discussing my trip plans and learning from you guys ;)
2.8's can be ok but they do have some issues and a few things wich should be checked before a big trip.
Heres a few things that will help the rd28 survive egr block off contact the ferret on here have the injectors done a provent catch can a genuine thermostat and clutch fan hub water pump.
Loctite the balancer bolt.
Have the cooling system thoroughly tested at natrad or similar.
