Hi Dave I think it was called Formula Shell:augie Getting back to the soot problem, these engines have a mini fuel filter in the banjo bolt at the pump, if its blocked it can cause soot. You can't remove the mini filter the same as a T2, but you can clean it with some air if required.;)...

Easist way to do it is 1. Take off the radiator cowl, the bottom edge is clipped on, the top is held on with 3 bolts/screws. 2. Unbolt the fan from the viscous coupling. 3. Slacken power steering belt adjuster and remove belt 4. This is the worst part, watch you knuckles Slacken...

As you have a few threads on the overheating issue, I'm unclear on whether you've changed the thermostat. It should always be the first thing to check/change when you get a sudden temp issue. I know they are a pig to get at, but get it changed. I carry a spare when away in the van, so if it...

I've fitted a mcnally dual boost and EGT gauge. You really need an EGT gauge on the 3.0ltr as it will prewarn you if your engine is about to turn into a grenade. http://www.mcnallyelectronics.com/ :thumb2

Your going to have fun taking the other 3 belts off to change the power steering belt. I would change all 4 and then you can forget about them for a while:thumb2

Genuine nissan belt is just over £40. Don't normally need to change the idlers on these engines unless the bearings are shot and you will know if they are as you will hear it. Easy job to change timing belt on these engines. The hardest part is getting the 4 fanbelts off:lol and the crank...

Doesn't cause any problems in the 2.8 when its blocked heres the instruction on how its done. And we wonder why the oil in a diesel is black, soot thats why. http://www.patrol-gr.net/trucs64.php its in french, use google to translate. :thumb2

Hi Richard, you said there was crap in the Rad when it got flushed. Are you sure the rad core is clear????? half might be choked????? giving you the problem. Are the rad fins clear?? Have you taken the rad out? is the aircon rad fins clear? it sits in front of the main rad if its restricted you...

You can try these guys http://www.taubenreuther.com/?id=05 I've got a 2" lift on mine OME is the kit I went for. You need 4 springs and shocks. You don't need anything else for a 2" lift. You don't need any special tools and you can change the springs without spring compressors, you just...

Changing shocks on a Trol is a simple job and there is no need to torque nuts, just make sure they a tight, when tightening you will see the bushes compress. The hardest part is jacking the thing up and taking wheels on and off:lol It always amazes me when people say shocks are fine when the...

As for older Trols, check them out for rust. UK climate and salt is not kind to Nissan 4x4s as they were/are not very well protected from new. Ok if previous owner has given it a good coating of wax in the box sections Checks sills at the rear, just in front of rear wheel arches and check...

Sorry to hear you are still having issues:doh These beasts are too complicated for their own good these days:eek: could be something as daft as a dodgy connection on one of the sensors You could fit a boost gauge and it would tell you exactly what the boost is doing. I'm in the process of...

Found where mine is leaking from:eek: will get it repaired if we get a summer this year:lol

The stabiliser is on the rear anti roll bar. Check the rear nearside and you will see it, the offside is fixed, so when it is on you have an anti roll bar and when its off it is disengaged for off road use. Patrol should be in 2WD when not offroad. Can you explain abit more about whats...

They are a good idea on diesels, they stop the blowby oil mixing with the EGR soot and reduces the crap going into the cylinderhead. :)

Its exactly the same Unit as the one on mine is off an 03 3.0ltr. I checked with Nissan before I bought it. The unit changes when the CRD engine is introduced in 06 I think No pics as I'm away at work for another 10 days. nissan can check to see what the problem is, the Consult system stores...

Richard, mines only happened when I stopped at a junction and when attempting to pull away it hesitated MIL came on and went back off after lifting foot off pedal. Nissan checked mine and they can tell you how many starts ago it 1st happened. They cleared it and charged me nothing, told me if it...

I'll come to any meet, not to worried about distance as long as there's a half decent caravan site for my van:D yes and i'm off work:eek: Only pre-requisit, there's plenty of booze:naughty:naughty:naughty :clap

Andrewk after reading what you've been saying I'm sure you've been on patrol4x4 forum:thumb2 you are correct when you mention the MAF, the guys there suspect them to be a problem with the overboosting, they also talk about the EGR sticking causing problems. I also know that the guys block the...
