Servicing

SIMILAR MODELS TO NISSAN PATROL

WHAT TO LOOK OUT FOR: NISSAN PATROL (GU - 2004-2016)

The GU Patrol is most commonly found with either a 3.0-litre four-cylinder turbo diesel or a thumping great 4.8-litre inline six-cylinder that runs on petrol.

The turbo diesel will use less fuel, but in many cases previous owners have worked the motor hard and engine failures are not unknown.

The diesel wasn't a bad engine per se, but it was doing an awfully big job in the Patrol, particularly if there was anything regularly attached to the tow bar. Cracked pistons have been a problem, and some workshops say that turbo-boost spikes are the cause, as the engine is fed way too much boost even if it's only for short periods.

The biggest problem with the 4.8-litre petrol engine, meanwhile, is its thirst but if you can live with that, it's robust and unstressed and is the one to buy for towing big loads. With any GU, check underneath to see if there's damage caused by hard off-roading.

The GU Patrol was caught up in the Takata airbag fiasco, so make sure the airbags have been replaced.
