I am in both too. I use C&CC sites but have the caravan insured by CC Andrew

I've spoken at length again to the service guys at Westway Nissan, Oldham. They reckon that there has definitely been no "recall" on the oil pressure switch fix. They did, however, concede that there may be been a Service Bulletin that recommends that this OPS-Adapter (as they call it) is...

Thanks for that. I'd guess that it would take a similar time on the ZD30 in the Patrol. I think access to it is the same or similar - there is a removable rubber skirt/liner in the driver's side wheel arch. So - given that it takes about 15 mins to do - and Westway Nissan Oldham have replaced...

The "ballast" resistor is shown on the wiring diagram - on the Patrol it's behind the radio. As it failed within 12 months, Nissan are going to replace the oil pressure switch F.O.C. They'll fit this OPS-adapter thingie too at the same time, but want a contribution towards the labour cost. I...

That does sound like what the Nissan tech described - but that isn't a "ballast" resistor, is it? Andrew

Actually, I'm not completely sure I'm right about it not being any kind of resistor. It definitely is not an electrical resistor - but it could conceivably be a hydraulic one. According to the Nissan tech at Oldham, its a piece of pipe with a small hole in it (I think he meant a restriction)...

OK, let's try again. Has anyone with a ZD30 engined T2 or Patrol actually changed the oil pressure switch ballast resistor (part code 24336W) when they had an HP oil pressure switch failure? If you did - why did you do it? I have discussed this at length with the Nissan tech at Oldham and...

I managed to "obtain" a copy of Nissan Fast over the weekend. The part code for this resistor is 24336W and from the illustration seems to be behind the radio or SATNAV's DVD. Has no one with a ZD30 ever actually replaced one of these? Andrew

Just had a phone call back from the Nissan service desk. One of their chaps rang tech support at Nissan who said they didn't know of any ballast resistor associated with the HP oil pressure switch. Most odd -especially as there is a resistor M156 shown on page EL-4314 in the section about the...

I think the bloody thing has just failed again!! Awaiting a phone call back from Nissan, Oldham about replacement. Fortunately, it's less than 12 months since it last failed -- so it should be still under Nissan's parts warranty. So far as I know, the ballast resistor has never been...

Fault finding procedure ......... 1) Find glow plugs 2) Find cable that attaches to glow plugs 3) Follow cable to relay Andrew

Oops, forgot it wasn't on a Terrano

This is what it looks like on a Patrol - maybe yours is similar ......... Andrew

The open-circuit battery voltage is 12.7V fully charged - which is about right for a healhy battery. Andrew
