Asked by Neville Britton
I have noted with interest your letters regarding the engine problems with the 3.0-litre turbo diesel Nissan Patrol. I specifically bought my vehicle to tow a caravan and tour Australia. I am concerned about the potential for failure in a remote location. Your response suggested Nissan had been contacted and will have an explanation of the models affected. More importantly, I would like to know what Nissan intends doing about the problem and when.

27 Feb 2004Nissan has told us that there was a service campaign on the ZD30 Patrol which revised the engine oil capacity and included all vehicles manufactured from launch (May 2000) until the end of October 2000. They recommend any owner with queries or concerns regarding their vehicle to contact their nearest Nissan dealer or the Customer Assistance Centre on (03) 9797 4114.
