    Are you buying this for off-road use? Is this 355K is on same engine or it has been changed? Is this stock engine rebuild or overhauled in the past? Is this Patrol has been driven in sand regularly? (90% chances are YES) Automatic or Manual? How many owners since new? Owner nationality and profession? Post some interior and exterior clear pictures to get more precise advise. The bottom line is you should avoid buying vehicle that has been "heavily used and abused" in off-road especially Nissan Patrol in her 20 years of owners history. If its road car, then you need a thorough check to make sure that. Also Nissan patrol are very commonly used with LS engines to thrash their usable life, once done they switch to stock engine and resell it. So if you see fancy color wires hanging in engine bay with unusal switches/knob/boxes then be sure its reincarnated version.

    Black portion is called hitch, and white is the receiver. Receiver can be for trailer, for towing/tug with ball or hook. Was it your vehicle that had rear hitch or am I confused with @Predrag acimovic Expedition....?

    We are glad to see that many real enthusiasts here notice and think alike on respecting each other time and attending brief is must for everyone. If you are a newbie, you still need to learn, if you are at fewbie or intermediate then you have to help and teach others like you have been helped few weeks back. It's called - "Pay it forward" (Google it, for people who aren't familiar with this). Get engaged in the morning briefing, meet and get to know new faces with whom you will be sharing your rest of the day, helping them or getting their help when you are stuck. If you have 3-4 hours for driving then spare some time for briefing and debriefing as those few minutes of investment, will help you enjoy your 3-4 hours of driving without breaking bumpers or bones.

    @Nayan Shenai this is what you really need at your rear hitch. Just spotted this on the road and thought about your yesterday incident.
  13. Gaurav
    It's not for the warranty but for insurance, that's what @Barry mentioned. Every car has traction control and abs for stopping the wheelspin so you dont wrap around tree if you go throttle happy. Now in offroad such tarmac safety measures are hindrance for wheelspin that you need for offroading. If you install such kill switch and involve in accident, then insurance can use that installation for denying the claim, as every insurance ask you to check box if car is modified or not.....!

    Dragon mart one of chinese brand but with good quality stuff is JZX Tools, I am using there tool set since 12 years, floor jack since 3 years and they are doing good so far. Of course tool set is very ocassionally used like once in 3 months for various sockets, wrench and spanners.

    Great teamwork, real essence of an off-roading.
  17. Gaurav
    Very good point to consider. I wonder why many people have not thought of this before.

    Expensive (5-10 times) Installation overhead and space Higher wattage is not always advisable, as it will pick lot of chatter / interference

    NO Big font, because after seeing you behave like kids in the last drive. Bribe your convoy lead with parathas, you might get away by 11:30 instead of 12:00 On a serious note, when we exit by 11:30, if you have a compressor, then you can inflate next to the cycle track and leave rather than driving slowly on deflated tires to reach till Adnoc. Please do inform your convoy lead when you are leaving.

    Get well soon.

    P0440 is quiet common for fuel cap issue. Make sure fuel cap is tight before you start the engine and switch off car before refuelling. P1481 - Isn't common but need further investigation that why clucth fan is not getting the feed, might be some sensor or wiring issue. Get it check and sorted before summer, as occasionally in my wife Trail blazer on hot summer clutch fan do engage. To self check if clutch fan is still working on variable speed: when you start the vehicle after a long break (cold start) does clutch fan engage fully and make loud gushing noise, that get settle after 15-30 seconds when RPM drops? If not, then for sure clucth need some immediate attention.
