Arrant lies! It is well known that Qlders are Gods gentlefolk. We would never suggest that Vics are ignorant enough to immolate a perfectly good beard.
It is however widely held in Gods country that VB is imbibed by our frozen cousins for it's inherent anti freeze properties!
I AM NOT STUBBORN.........I prefer the term, Singlemindedly independent !

Have you priced a replacement door from a wrecker? White will be easy to get. If it's say $100 for a door with no door card then I reckon I'd near on get a 4" grinder out and cut a big hole from the outside and open it. Then take the door off and replace it...... Probably would have done that about 2 months ago
Its a Nissan! =====> Its a Keeper!! ....... Got a TD42 in it BONUS!!....... I'm a lucky bugger! I've got 2 of em!

The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.

So today is the day. I've got shit to do first up this morning so it'll be a lunch time onwards job. Here's some pics of the new door latch. The plan is to destroy the plastic cover for want of better words to enable access to the internal workings. It will require drills pliers screwdriver and some extreme expletives
I would really like to find the designer of this system and cut their nuts out with a wooden spoon. I've been looking at this lock for the last hour seeing if precision drilling of the latch pin would work but then the snapped drill becomes a reality as mentioned in an earlier post. Also to cheer every other GU owner up. During my research this bastard of a problem exists on ALL Patrol models not just the DX. You have been warned
