    Nissan Patrol 1998

    Nissan Patrol 1998

    FROM
    $3,410

    The 1998 Nissan Patrol range of configurations is currently priced from $3,410.

    Carsguide Contributing Journalist David Morley had this to say at the time: It can be if you buy the right one. We’d be very leery of any RD28 or ZD30-powered example, especially if it has covered a lot of kilometres (since many of them are likely to have been in the bush). The 4.2 diesel and six-cylinder petrol versions, though, seem to offer a better package, especially now that the earliest GU Patrols are nearing a quarter-of-a-century on the road. But even the best GU Patrol will not be able to match a modern SUV for comfort, driving dynamics, safety and fuel economy. But if you want to go properly off-road, then a GU Patrol trumps any SUV or Crossover any day.

    The 1998 Nissan Patrol carries a braked towing capacity of up to 2800 Kg, but check to ensure this applies to the configuration you're considering.

    Nissan Patrol 1998 FAQs

    The gearbox in my 1998 Nissan Patrol TD45 only selects second and third gear

    You could be looking at something internally wrong with the transmission, but the clue that this might be something simpler is in the way the engine will start in Reverse which, of course, it shouldn’t (for safety reasons). The suspicion would be that the relationship between the selector (inside the cabin) and the actual gearbox is somehow out of synch. So when the selector is telling you the car is in Reverse, it’s actually in Park or Neutral, which is why the engine will start.

    That might also explain why the car won’t select fourth gear; the position that actually coincides with Drive (or fourth gear) looks – from inside the cabin – to be the Neutral position. So, to check this, put the car in what looks like Neutral and, in a safe place, see if it moves when you give it some throttle.

    Failing that, you’ve got two separate problems. The first is the inability to select fourth gear (which could be a hundred things) and a failure of the safety switch which is allowing the engine to start in Reverse.

    Nissan Patrol 1998: Hard start issue

    It's frustrating when a dealer misdiagnoses a problem, and then charges you for the work they've done, even though it hasn't fixed the so-called problem. In this case, from what you have told us, there really isn't a problem. You say you are able to start the car first time, every time, by simply waiting a second or so longer, it was only the dealer that claimed it was hard to start. I wouldn't trust the dealer and would take the car to someone else if you feel you need to have it checked further, in this case one who specialises in diesels.

    Nissan Patrol 2005: Should I upgrade to the 3.0-litre turbo-diesel?

    THERE are too many reports circulating about the 3.0-litre turbo diesel engine and Nissan won't discuss them, so it's hard to recommend the engine to anyone. If you're thinking of the 4.2-litre I would suggest you go for that and stay away from the 3.0-litre engine.
