2001 Nissan Patrol 3.0 TD GR 5dr review from UK and Ireland
"Very capable - WHEN ITS RUNNING"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
We have now had 3 engines fitted in 3 years, and now this 3rd engine is overheating badly.
We have had 2 gearboxes fitted, and now this 2nd gearbox is beginning to clunk into reverse gear, the same as the other 2 gearboxes.
We have fitted a new ECU just 9 months ago.
We fitted a new radiator 9 months ago.
We have just fitted a new a/c condenser unit.
General comments?
This vehicle should be a total embarressment to Nissan, but the service and back up from them has been very poor, their general attitude has been to try and avoid any commitment whatsoever to this vehicle and its problems.
