its fixable but where to start
Oh no mate! You are having some crap luck with this car lately.
Let me know if I can help.
Yeah bugger Roofy!! That doesn't sound great mate! Could be the Turbo if you lucky. Can't help any more than that though, sorry mate, if you need anything don't hesitate.
Good luck mate.
Where is the car now..... what is your next step as far as it being looked at properly.
Obviously you need a proper diagnosis.
I hope it is something like the turbo and not something much worse.
Any excess blow by from the breather in the rocker cover? It doesn't sound good, at all.
The only way really to see what it is, is to do a compression test or remove the head.

Bugger Roofy that bloody sux mate.
Ok question? if 3 cylinders are 400psi why couldn't you put in one piston would it matter if the reading was a bit higher or lower
Not ideal, but could be done,Quote:

Just thought mate as a new second hand motor is just out of reach at the momentQuote:

Yeah understandable, if the bore can get away with a hone, that'll be about as cheap as you can get.Quote:

Bugger roofy that really really sux mate. Yeah let us know if you need a hand at all. Hopefully work out something reasonable to get it going nice soon.
That would be Readies in Bendigo. He does heaps of conversions so mightt have a few around. You should be giving some serious thought to your options though Roofy, dropping in a TD42 or LS1 should be something you at least cost out bud. Talk with Clint Read about what he can do for you mate.Quote:

Bugger!! What year is the Patrol Roofy? Is it an early model or a later car?
02 model gu wagonQuote:

It's sad to hear of them still blowing and Nissan still denying that anything is wrong with the motor. Profits before people I guess.
This is the only reason way I didn't buy a diesel, and the fact that I couldn't afford a TD4.2.
I threw to much $$$ at my last 4x4 after everyone told me to stay away from them as they are proven to have issues. Just like these engines they are proven to have issues.
Roofy, if you're going to keep it do it properly. Go price the conversions, whichever one suits you, park it up if that's an option.
Shame that it has happen, but it is what it is.
Hope it works out mate.
That's not good Roofy.
Transplant.
Mick I only wish it could happen but right now its parked up we are done and dustedQuote:

sorry to hear roofy, absolutely heart breaking mate. dont worry though, take your time have a think about everything and eventually(thats the only annoying part) youll come around and work it out mate.
Not good mate,,,, mine went earlier in the year,{head} all I did was tip in some
Rislone head repair, Temps are very good now no loss of water, not that confident to
go to the Murray yet need to do some longer trips first ,but made it to BA's no probs.
Hope its repairable mate
A 4.5 petrol would be cheap
Sorry to hear this Roofy, although we haven't met personally I am overwhelmed by other members' support for you ( I wish I could help you more, but funds are a bit tight atm, so my apologies). You must be a good person.
If I may ask you a quick one though, you mentioned that the EGT was on mark, where was your EGT installed, before or after the turbo, if you have one.
Thanks mate, and wish all the very best to find a new motor and get back you on the track soon.
Cheers,
Hi mate it was after turbo about 50mm below the bend
good luck with your mods
