Hi. I have a 2001 3L GU Patrol that blew 2 pistons at 150,000km - they tell me this is a common problem with this model! Servicing on this vehicle was carried out every 5,000km, and was never driven hard. The rebuild cost almost $11,000 and the vehicle now has very poor performance. I previously had a GQ with more than 400,000 faultless kilometeres (roughly 60% offroad). I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER NISSAN - even though I have owned nine and still have a 200SX. |
