Not new - Patrol info needed for mag feature

dollywobbler · 20-01-2014, 12:25

Hi folks
Hope all is well.
I'm writing a feature for a non-4x4 car magazine on the Nissan Patrol Y61, possibly covering the Y60 too. I was wondering if there were any experts/specialists it might be worth me talking to? It's a general buyer's guide but with some ownership information - ie jobs that might need doing during ownership such as clutch changes etc.
Any help will be much appreciated. My email address is yan2cv@yahoo.co.uk
Cheers
Ian

Crikey. It's December now and I'm still working on it! Alan 'Spinna' was very helpful when I spoke to him earlier in the year, but I still need some help - especially with specifications!
The main thing I'm trying to tie down is when the Y60 went from 4.2 to 2.8TD. Was there any overlap between the two engines?
This guide is for publication in January, so only a year after I started on it!

We have had an influx of Patrol owners since you first posted, now this thread is alive again you may catch the eye of some of the owners, Patrolman springs to mind, Makeitfit also has one I'm sure, few others as well

This is spooky I was only thinking about this article earlier today.
I will have a look through my brochure's to see if we missed something relating to engines.
