Well done mate, just shows they can still be repaired, my 97 Patrol is as good as gold and a 98 T2 previously owned, now a mates is also still going strong, as is my Mrs 3Ltr previously owned by Rayf, Rick

Nice to see you are still looking in, I just got myself a milling machine, not up and running yet but soon, also I have a cam cover gasket for your Y61 ordered the wrong one for mine, yours if you want it for postage, Rick

Yes think you are right, the washers may well have altered the "king pin inclination angle" which will certainly affect steering but I would not have thought it would have any effect on brakes, so you may well have two problems here, makeitfit would have been the guy to ask but he has not been...

I got me a cheapo one from a far off place, hopping to dismantle it and fit the gubbins in the original place, we will see, pics if it works, Rick

Hi all, as per heading I am in need of a Patrol tachometer head, mine has died, Rick

Most motor factors should have them, Rick

Found the cluster, memory dims but once looked at it I realised you probably meant how to get at the bulbs, I am assuming analogue gauges rather than digital, if so you need to remove the bezel around the instrument cluster (2 or 3 screws ) and lower the steering wheel as low as poss, then 4...

I think I might have an old instrument cluster in the workshop, will have a look over the weekend and post a pic if I can find it, Rick

Both positions are valid, it depends what fuel pump you have, Bosch it will be on top of the bell housing, Zexel on the timing cover, Rick

There is a pump firm in Ashford that has VE mechanical pumps for sale £330 to £500, is you motor worth that to you to get on the road? just need some kind of throttle cable to be ready to go, Rick

Mmmm looks like I will have to go back to my mate as this board is different to the one he showed me, I think it could be the Siemens chip top left on the first pic but on the pic he showed me it was on a separate board with other components, you will have to bear with me as he is hard to get...

Great pics but i need the component side of the board, there should be 3 or 4 auxiliary boards standing up from the main board, Rick

And another, Rick

Yes mods needed indeed, decided to cut the floor out for decent access, and found the top hangers are not as they should be, so procured a bit of 12mm plate that will be stitched between the two to stiffen them up somewhat, need to get it sorted ready for an outing to Slindon on Sunday coming, Rick

Been doing some more searching, I guess you have found the ECU, can you remove the lid and send me a pic of the internals, been chatting to some old banger mates and they have given me some tips, we had to disable NATS with bangers but I never dealt with any other than NATS1 but they are doing...

Spoke to local Nissan place today, they suggested contacting Nissan Customer Service on 03301231231, also I have details of how to disable NATS1 might be worth trying it on 2, got nothing to lose, if you want to try PM me Rick

My guy no longer has the kit, apparently it was part of a key cutting machine and when the key cut part broke he did not bother to keep it, but he says he knows another that still has one, am waiting for him to get back to me, so need to know where you are , as clearly locksmith and car need to...

I find it incredible that Nissan cannot sort your motor, to my mind you have 2 options, 1 my favourite, fit a mechanical pump, 2 find a locksmith in the UK to program it up, I will ring the guy I used a while ago and see if he still has the kit, Rick

Update on the air springs, going to try a couple for a BMW E60, look about the right size and a pair for £38. prob will need some mods, we will soon see, Rick

Sadly looks can be deceiving, they only give me 25mm rise, so not even up to stock height, bear in mind my motor goes 3.2 tonnes, so I have resorted to inserting a couple of smaller diameter springs from a Vauxhall Vectra i think, with an ali block 40mm thick at the top 1 to bolster the spring...
