...on the mountainbike, roads are too unpredictable for the road bike, one patch of ice or frost and you're down - bike crashes really hurt too! Anyone offroading on 4 wheels?

Thanks Briggie. How are you?

Thanks, not too far away either.

Yes please! 1993 Nissan Patrol 4.2 Diesel Non Turbo 5 speed manual Over 100k miles on the clock. Used for towing, and long trips, but in the winter some short hops to the station and back. She is not a performance machine! Engine, gearbox and rear diff please, if wouldn't mind. Thank you.

Oops, double post, sorry

Hi, I've looked in Members Tips, Willow's Guide, and have pmd one of the members, but in the meantime, does anyone know of a garage where they know about Patrols (or maybe are just open minded and willing to learn) around Bromley/Croydon/Westerham area please. Will travel to a good 'un. Thank you.

Alan, I don't think Paul was online at the time. I posted the thread and texted him at the same time (I had his number because I bought a gearbox from him). He replied by text. That's why the reply didn't go on the thread until now, sorry, should have updated sooner.

Brilliant! I loved that.

Excellent! The ONLY car to have .. IMHO of course!

Hmm, sorry, I don't know! (I'd like to know though). It's a part time 4x4 and I THINK the front axle doesn't have a diff, because you are not to use 4 wheel drive unless you are on ice, snow, sand or mud (because of transmission wind up). Could be mistaken on that one. If anyone can give a...

The answer, provided by BAT 21, was: (Switch the switch off first) and drive round in tight circles. Sure enough I heard it pop right off after just a few metres. Glad the fix worked and glad I know it for the future! Thanks Paul!

how do I make it go off please?

I asked for it to be broken down by hour. They have only broken it down by job. I can't discuss this with them directly because the wife (who does the bookwork) gets very shouty and makes statements like "We have other customers you know, who are booked in" then shouts me down when I suggest...

Bump Does anyone think £1,035 plus VAT in labour is excessive for the above please?

Briggie, you're right about Waltham Cross! Not much to commend it, I'm only here a few days then off to S Wales for a week of mountainbiking at Afan Argoed, Glyncorrwg and Brechfa. I lived in Yorkshire for a short time when I was young, my father was stationed at RAF Patrington, near Hull.

A hard house compilation CD and the Ministry of Sound One album kept me company today from Biggin Hill to Waltham Cross.

Manual box, I couldn't get it out of first and into second when cold, was very notchy between all gears. First motion shaft bearing v. noisy. Bad smell when the car got hot. 1 Drain oil from gearbox and transfer box. Refill with correct oil. First and second work from cold but first motion...

Thank f*ck for that! Four weeks they had it. Every time there was a problem, instead of ringing me, they did nothing, and waited for me to ring them, so a day/some days were lost each time. When I complained at the length of time/lack of information I was told they were doing me a favour by...

My Patrol - RANT - sorry Wierd, must've imagined it (the book) - I know Sutherland's do a Bicycle Manual, I thought they did a car manual too. Wonder if I'll get my car back today. I wonder what it is about me that makes mechanics think they can take the p1ss out of me. Is it because I am a...

My patrol Yes, you're right of course. I'm going to sleep now, good night.
