    Adrian Flux - Christmas 2017 Opening Hours

    I've been with Adrian Flux and others and I'm now back with them for the Trol and the ASX and have no issues. I've found AF are no worse than any other insurance company but as with all of them you have to mind the terms and conditions. I've had to cancel policies early before and no matter...

    Nissan Patrol Question ?

    Stopped selling Patrols in the UK in 2009 :( 2009 is the latest you'll find.

    I'd Chop all 3 of my bangers in for this!!!!!

    Yeh sure I've seen it before as well, I wonder if he's asked too much for it in the past 🤔 Looks like it'll probably sell this time though :nenau

    Oil light

    You'll need to do a bit of trial and error to work out which pressure sensor cable needs earthed and which doesn't (to turn off the warning light). Whatever one needed earthed I just ran a wire from it to an earth point

    Oil light

    One must be the high pressure and one the low pressure but no idea which :nenau

    Oil light

    Oh and the 60psi, do we know if that was hot or cold? Sounds okay for a hot reading tbh :nenau

    Oil light

    That'll be the low oil pressure sensor but there's also a high pressure one down near the starter, could be either but I'd bet money on the high pressure sensor rather than the low pressure one. I wouldn't even consider trying to replace wiring, I think you're on a hiding to nothing. Just...

    Oil light

    I wouldn't be taking the sump off :confused: Just get her up to temp and take the drain plug out :nenau When changing the filter, it's a replaceable paper filter in a metal casing that gets you re-use. Don't unscrew the case fully, there's a drain tray right underneath it with a rubber pipe...

    Oil light

    It's a Patrol Rick, not a Terrano. Only way you drop the diff is by removing the front axle :lol

    Oil light

    Sounds like the classic 3.0 oil light issue, basically the high oil pressure sensor (the one down near the starter) can't cope with the constant minor pressure fluctuations and so starts to give false readings to varying degrees. When it started on my 3.0 I just fitted a pressure gauge and...

    Nissan patrol 2004 overland ready

    I had standard Cooper STTs on my Y61 (came before the Pros) and really rated them as a mud terrain. Good grip in the rough, not too noisy on tarmac and wore well. For a mud terrain they weren't too bad in the wet either. Those Insa Turbos are much more aggressive and will be noisy as, also will...

    Nissan patrol 2004 overland ready

    Yes, can read the size off the spare (265/70 R16) and those are the same rims as my Y61 had. The 17" Trol rims look different. To be exact your alloys will be 16" +10 offset and the steel spare 16" 0 offset, all 8" wide...

    Nissan patrol 2004 overland ready

    Most Y61 speedos read overly high anyway. Think she's on 2" springs from memory so you'll be able to go to 285/75 R16 (33") no problem and they'll be 20mm wider and about 2" taller than your current tyres... AND she'll still read high on the speedo just not as much. My Y61 was on 33s and still...

    Newbie

    Yeh, most of the members here are UK based dude so probably won't be able to help with Aus laws on mods as I know they're varied and state dependent and some of them at least also include tyre lift in their measurements (ie not just suspension). You'll be better hitting up the Aussie forums like...

    Patrol pick-up

    Still less hp and torque than the 4.2 :p

    Patrol pick-up

    :lol No Doug is right, a manual would be nippier but... not being familiar with how to get the most out of that autobox (which you aren't Zac mate) will have made a difference. It's true though, she ain't a racecar :nenau Where the autobox is really good is when I'm cruising round town or...

    Patrol pick-up

    Yeh not a fan of that double cab at all :( I've seen converted lwb Y60s that look nicer. That 70 series looks nice, lotta respect for a cruiser but it's 1.8l short of the mighty 4.2 ;) :p

    Looking good dude :thumb2

    Patrol Rear Diff Problems

    Yeh sorry Rick, my Y60 has a LSD and the only time I had an issue with the difflock in my Y61 was when I stripped a tooth off the dog clutch from over use when I unknowingly had a knackered hub (found the tooth fragments stuck to the sump magnet and when I tested the lock it just gave a clicking...
