Plea for a '98 GU2.8Td user manual

[JK973]

What size tyres do you have on? 940k is almost double what I seem to be able to do, I've got 33"s and I think I'm gonna drop them down to 31s next change out...

Hi Guys,
I've just bought a 98 GU 2.8Td and I have no manuals with it at all, I'm putting it in for a major service next week with Robson Bros in Perth but I'd really like to get to know my way around the beast, I've been a Landie owner before so this Nissan stuff is a bit unfamiliar to me, does anyone have a link to an owners manual that I could download please?
I'd really appreciate it so at least I'm not dependent on garages for the basics of servicing. I went to top up the coolant yesterday and it's the first time I've seen 2 coolant containers in an engine so that got my head scratching for a little while!
Got to get my head around the subtank too (never even heard of one!) Looks like I'm going to be having some fun!!

Thanks

John

I would go and get the gregory's manual and keep it in the car, If the gu manual is anything like the gq manual it is a 1000 page document, and binded print outs dont last long in a workshop.

dont get me wrong its a good thing to have., but a manual on hard drive or disc isnt any good when you are out and about

I realize this is an older thread, but was just reading through.

The bigger the tyre, the lower the rev's it takes to get to the same speed as you would on smaller tyres, the better the fuel economy. (e.g. you'll sit on 100km/h on a few hundred lower rev's with 33's then you would with 31's.)

Also I struggle to get to 1000km using the main and sub tanks, although I have noticed with the RD28t's that sitting on 90km/h instead on 110km/h on the highways is not a little, but ALOT better when it comes to saving fuel.

Around town, plus weekend 4x4 driving ( running 33s, front and read bar with winch) I am flat out getting more than 740kms til fuel light on( 15 litres left in main tank, sub empty)

Might have to ease up on the right foot. Or try some new injectors.

Some of the fuel economy figures listed look awesome

oilburner98,
Sorry for not getting to you earlier. Have now sold my 2.8 and running a DI 3 litre GU.
However, confess the fuel consuption on the 2.8 was better. The 3 litre comes in just under 12-14 litres per 100 K's. Keep in mind that's driving @ 100 K's with camper trailer on the back.
Your consumption for the 2.8 is as good as it's going to get. Remember, once the speedo needle goes past 100 K's she starts to suck up the diesel big time, that's why I cruise on 100.
Good to hear your getting a good run from your Patrol, I do miss the old one myself, but LOVE the auto box on this 3 litre.
