Asked by Robyn
We are planning a long trip in our 2001 Nissan Patrol 3.0-litre turbo-diesel, but we have been told they have a tendency to blow up. It's a good car and goes well, but we don't want to be out in the Never-Never with a blown-up Patrol. What do you think we should do?
Answered by CarsGuide
23 Jun 2010They can give trouble as you have been told, but it’s not possible to say if yours is likely to blow up. Have a mechanic with knowledge of Patrols check it over before you go, you should have it serviced in any case before a long trip as you plan and a check on the engine would be worthwhile.
