I was working under the bonnet of the GU on the weekend and I noticed a noise from the air box when I started the engine. After removing the lid of the air box I noticed that the gasket around the perimeter of the lid was totally perished and most of it was missing. I went to the local Nissan dealer to get a new one and he said it was not listed - I would have to buy a new lid. I did not even bother to ask for a price (he may have had to call an ambulance!) - and went straight to Rare Spares who had replacement rubber off the roll for $2.00 for a metre.
Good thing to check on your Patrol because if you have a snorkel and think you are safe to do a river crossing - the water will certainly get into the air box via the defective seal.
