Just went down to the car park to start it, the engine light is on, it turns over but not firing. Was running a bit funny on the way here this morning. Have called the RAC. Am just about to download the manual with the error codes in to show the RAC man when he gets here. Hope I get a good...

Anyhoo, a big thumbs up and thanks to the NFU who were brilliant when my car was stolen. Their assessor moved swiftly and set a fair value and they paid out within a couple of days after that. Excellent service. Have insured the new car with them.

who is single and who is in a relationship? Just curious (and bored, I'm off work with a bad back, I have a million (physical) things to do, but the osteopath has told me to rest). Come to that, are you all men? Or are there some women here too?

I bought it on ebay, I flew up to Glasgow and drove back. I very different car to my beloved Y60, better in some ways and worse in others. The man who sold it kept saying 'such a simple car' - I was thinking 'simple? bloody hell, you should have seen the Y60! All you get is an engine and...

I can't get on from the laptop at home, using mobile internet. Somebody very kindly posted a shell command for me to use, but I can't find the post. Would you mind telling me it again please? Thanks

Claude the hypnotist explained: "I'm here to put you into a trance; I intend to hypnotize each and every member of the audience." The excitement was almost electric as Claude withdrew a beautiful antique pocket watch from his coat. "I want each of you to keep your eyes on this antique watch...

Sorry to keep on about this, but I'm still trying to decide on what would make a good replacement for my Y60 Patrol. The Navara is out, not a viable tow car. So I'm thinking about a Y61. The 3.0 litre Turbo puts out enough torque to easily tow the caravan. Does anyone have any bouquets or...

So, my car was stolen and it seems that there aren't many 4.2s around. There are quite a few 2.8s though. Soooo, how difficult would it be to get a 2.8 with nice body/chassis and take out the engine and gearbox, throw them away, and fit a nice 4.2 engine and gearbox instead? I wonder what...

Some lowlife stole my precious car. I imagine it's either been run in for scrap or ragged round offroad somewhere and then burnt out. On the offchance could you all please keep a look out? Dark blue Nissan Patrol Y60 K332 FYH. Rusty front bumper with gaffer tape over the rusty bits (looks...

This is probably a stupid question. In the manual for the car it says that for a given temperature range (and I have chosen -10 to +40) I can have either 20w 40 or 20w 50. I have no idea which one would be best, do any of you know? It's an old car so I would imagine there will be wear in the...

I'm feeling a bit down and looking at some nice 4x4s would help to cheer me up. Thanks.

Happy New Year everyone and have a look at this video, amazing! www.youtube.com/watch?v=mi8SlYGt0YM

...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?

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.

how do I make it go off please?

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...

Hi Does anyone know how many hours Sutherlands gives for a gearbox removal/replacement please? I'm (hopefully) picking up my Patrol tomorrow - I need to be armed with information so I can haggle/agree with the bill. Thanks

Hi I'm looking for someone to work on my car. 1993 diesel Patrol. Does anyone know please of any mechanics who specialise? Hertfordshire area.

Hi I have a 1993 Patrol, 4.2 GR SGX. 115k miles. There was a noise coming from under the gear levers that was a constant rumbling/knocking/chattering. It was apparent in neutral and went away when I put my foot on the clutch. Also, on pulling off or going slowly, the car vibrates (around...
