I think he's just uncomfortable working on larger 4x4's but he's genuinely helpful and willing to put effort in most of the time. This seems to have him rattled. I've got it through the MOT but would like to take it to someone to sort for me as I just don't have the time, or the ability to have...

Looking for someone who can look at a leaking swivel hub for me in the Sheffield area (or within an hour or so). Patrol has failed it's MOT and my normal garage don't know enough about them to tackle it bar recommending a full axle replacement which seems a bit excessive! Even someone with a...

Bugger.

Is the front axle available?

No, but you're quite happy to propagate this 'information'. No wonder there's hysteria, and FUD.

Just because somebody is in the medical profession doesn't stop them speculating based on hearsay from friends, colleagues and the media. Healthcare professionals are human and suffer the same biases as everyone else. Just because they wear a uniform or work in a hospital or surgery doesn't...

I take it SVO/WVO is a no go in a 2005 Patrol 3.0 DI?

I'd still not want that close to my leg even with the wrap!

No longer saggy!

Yes, very much style over function with that design.

Ooh, I like that!

It is. I've raised the back by 30mm dropped the pegs by 20mm and raised the bars slightly and it is now very comfortable, and more stable at low speeds.

I moved from a GS adventure to this as I wanted something simpler. No electronic suspension, no rider modes, just a basic bike with great character. I love it and don't regret the change even though people thought I was mad changing "down".

It's a BMW RnineT Urban G/S.

I use it on my bike headers. After a good few heat cycles it does lose the dark colour a bit though.

Some new springs should sort the sag!

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!

The biggest hesitation I have with getting a pathfinder is the risk of the chassis failing as has been documented frequently. I know Nissan will check vehicles up to 12 years old, but this age limit is getting increasingly comprehensive with the age of the trucks. How much can be checked...

Interesting, now I hadn't realised that!!!

7 seats required, so pathfinder or patrol. I've been reading too much about the pathfinder that puts me off them. Patrol I think!
