Evening all. I'm not a Nissan or Ford owner, but am researching my next car.
Nissan Patrol is what seems to be taking my fancy, so a web search has led me here!

I'm going through the posts one by one and once I've got some questions that I've not found answers to, I'm sure you'll all be sick of me!

Catch you later

Welcome. I think we've reached the quota for patrol ownership. Well, until I get one

Well it took 18 months but I eventually picked up a Patrol!

Several issues found and sorted, with a couple still to go (including the rear sitting lower than the front) but overall I'm extremely happy!

Looks great but as you say you have a saggy arse

I’d love a patrol, got the bug after I went around wales in Jays troll a couple of years ago.
