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.

Side by side pics would be good to compare what happened, growler.
My advice is: not to follow my advice.

GU PATROL 2011 Ti, with goodies...
Mudnut see below the new one and where I've used a cold chisel to smash the plastic off just at the top where the levers are. I
didn't even bother trying to drill anything out. It was a s tight as a ducks arse and looked way too hard. The plastic was very brittle and only took two light taps and the top plastic and the lever that's connected to the outside door handle rod blew apart. The door then opened with the inside door handle. Easy as! Reinstalling the new one took 5 minutes very easy to do. All together shut the door and F*CK ME DRUNK the bastard wouldn't open again!!!! FARK FARK FARKkkkkkkkk!!!!!!! WTF! Back in removed the door lock rods and the door could open again???? WTF again??? So I've removed the mechanism and compared it with the old one thinking I'd put a connecting rod in the wrong spot but nup all good. Put it all back together latched the door manually without shutting it this time and sure enough the door handles won't reopen it WTF??! Remove the lock rods and wallah opens. Take the whole bloody thing off again and find there isn't bugger all movement in the new mechanism locking levers. There's a bloody problem with the new mechanism. But I can open the door just can't lock the bastard now. I will contact ptrolapart Monday and see what can be done. I can't send them this one back to changeover as I won't be able to drive me car so hopefully we can work something out. So result. Yep I can get in and out of the drivers door YAY! Can lock all the doors except the drivers side now Bastard but not the end of the world I've got secure parking. I have one door card that is 100% FUBAR oh well I don't have to practice my YOGA multiple times a day now. I might pull it apart tomorrow and have a look at it again just to make sure I haven't done anything stupid. If the new latch worked then all up time to do the job is less than an hour including taking out the front seat. Pretty easy really but destructive
