No worries Bigrig, I hope it is of some help to anyone else who may have this problem, as Nissan were unable to help me because they had not come across this problem before. Cheers Matho.
You're only down at Camira mate - should organise a catchup for a couple - happy to come down your way.Quote:

If you go up to Landcruiser Park you would see him as he spends a lot of time up there. Two of my daughters and their husbands also have 4WD's, one has a 2010 Mitsubishi Turbo Diesel, and the other one has a 2010 Pajero Turbo Diesel.
We are all going up to Landcruiser Park for the weekend of the 8th - 10th of April. I tried to attach a photo of my sons Patrol on this but I don't know how to.
Cheers

Champion! I'll PM you my mobile - give me a buzz when it suits and we'll organise a couple of cold ones!Quote:

chears lg91
Hi lg91, mate I wish I had an answer for you, but my Patrol is still having the same problem with the engine cutting out, I have been recording the date, time, location and speeedo reading ever since it started after I bought it in September last year, so far I have 7 A4 pages of dates on when the engine cut out. Neither my local dealer in Ipswich or Nissan Australia know what the problem is. It has been back to the dealer on several occasions which have ben unsuccessful. I recently did a trip to the tip of Cape York and I was concerned that it would let me down on the side of the road, but it did not. However it still kept cutting out, sometimes two or three times in the one day then nothing for a week or so. It only happens when I am taking off from the traffic lights or pulling out of my driveway, it does not happen at speed. I just wish Nissan could find the problem as sometimes it cuts out in scary situations. Changing the air filter did not make a difference and neither did the changing of the faulty relay on the ECU. I wish I had an answer for you. Cheers Matho (Snr)
well i took the car into nissan today and they found a fault code its the throttle postion sensor
Many Thanks lg 91, I will let my local dealer know as it is almost due for it's 60,000 service and get them to check this during the service. I hope this has fixed your problem and I hope it fixes mine. If it does I will post the result for everyone to see. Cheers Matho.
Hi Matho, I have a 2008 CRDI Patrol (auto) and I think mine does a similar thing.. I have been looking everywhere for a solution, but haven't found one yet. i am a Mechanic by trade and have done several tests myself, however it doesn't do it regularly enough to bother me enough if it doesn't get worse.. I have sort of let it go a little, and I don't mind so much unless it gets worse, or unless it is causing some other sort of damage, but i've been putting up with it for 18 months, and it's not getting worse. My thoughts are it is a computer/electrical delay and have sort of left it at that. Mine mainly does it if I am cruising along - say 40-60km/h and I put the foot down to accelerate up a hill, it seems to have a small flatspot before it kicks in, or before it changes gear etc.. Just wondering if your's is an Auto?
I seem to be able to replicate it easily if I am out 4wdriving and I notice it on the high range 40-60km/h sort of roads when going up hills..
still interested to find out what it is, so would be interested if anyone else manages to fix it...
