Asked by Austin Wakeling
I AM looking to buy a 2004-2006 four-wheel drive to tow my caravan. My list is down to a Nissan Patrol diesel auto, Mitsubishi Pajero or Toyota Prado, but I am concerned about the comments that the Patrol engine self-destructs. I have been told that from 2004 on, this problem no longer exists. Can you confirm that this is correct?
Answered by CarsGuide
1 Jan 2010I WOULD like to be able to confirm that the problem with the 3-litre turbodiesel engine has been fixed, but I can't. My attempts to get Nissan to own up to a fix have been a dismal failure. All it would tell me is it would take care of owners of any Patrol that had an engine problem. Read into that what you will.
