What did you do to your Patrol today!

Changed both my engine mounts last night. Can’t talk about it as I’m still too traumatized by the experience

Lemme guess. ZD30. RHS is a royal PIA to do.

Yep
But I actually found the left harder.
I ended up taking the top brackets off the block because with the engine was hard up against the fire wall. My neighbor suggested undo the gear box cross member but that achieved zip. Just more stress.
Getting those bolts out of the brackets is impossible but I got there eventually.
The difference is amazing. It’s like a new car.
Shame I’m selling the car and won’t get to drive it now. It was picked up during the RWC

From memory doing mine, I loosened the body mount bolts so I could lift the motor up higher. I only did the left on mine but doing a mates GU both were a nightmare. RHS worse I found.

Stupid Nissan, put in a hydraulic mount which worked well but the design of the fittings leave you wondering why.
It’s like they never thought it would need replacing.
Step one, fit mount to chassis
Step 2 fit bracket to block
Step 3 lower engine into engine bay and secure mounts
Step 4 hope it never needs replacing

Looks like engine oil, couldn't see from where it's coming from, any ideas...

Haven't had a chance to had a proper look. Just ran my finger over it. Did see the p/s hoses and they are dry.

If it's power steering oil the level should have dropped a fair bit ,I'm looking at putting a kit in mine but having trouble working out which kit and why the big difference in price between them .
By the look of all that oil you should be able to work it out from the colour .
