What did you do to your Patrol today!

[mudski]

I pulled the outer door window seals off a while back to replace the drivers seal as it was broken. The amount of crud in there under the seal was amazing. So i removed all outer door window seals and scrubbed it clean and also washed and scrubbed the seals themselves as the felt section had gone hard over time from the dirt. Just washing them made the felt section much better.
Was a fairly quick and easy job to do aswell.
One screw for the front doors and two for the rears.
That flat section you talk of Kimbo is where i drilled the holes. So that dirt has somewhere to go.

That's just what they call em.
They are to suit the weights above.

When you get them, count the number of active coils (not the top and bottom coil), measure wire diameter, free length and installed length.

Got the brakes hoses done with a slight adjustment to the rear something brake something so that I get a little more rear braking to make it think I am a little heavier than I am.
It brakes a hell of a lot better than it did before. Still SHIT but better. Lol

I was after actual rates not what they are desribed as. Do as ben-e has said and he will work it out.

Patrols have brakes??

When I bought my Patrol I found the brakes to be very spongy & complained to the car yard I bought it from. They told me to take it to my local Nissan dealership to get fixed at no cost to me. Got it back from the dealer’s workshop who told me they had changed the fluid & bled them (they had the brake fluid was a different colour). Problem was that the brakes felt no different at all.
I complained & the workshop manager assured me that this was normal for Patrol brakes. Thinking he was treating me as a dumb car owner who knew nothing I made it clear that I did not believe that any properly working brakes could feel so bad. He assurred me again that they were normal & added that Nissan deliberately design them like this to ensure that owners are less likely to lock the brakes accidentally in off road conditions! Convinced he was spinning me a line I continued to complain, whereupon he led me to a customer’s almost new ST wagon & invited me to sit in the driver seat & test the brake pedal for myself. It felt exactly like mine - like if you press hard enough the pedal could touch the floor. In reality the brakes would lock before you got to that point. Nevertheless the brakes inspired no confidence whatsoever. Different pads & rotors on the front gave a noticeable improvement. (Anyone know if there are any performance shoes available for the rear drums?).
