Honest Clive and his 3.0 Patrol

Darren,
The blow up was reported as fourby,as we moved to Healesville at Xmas we re suscribed with Telstra,new carrier new name,now fourstall2000.
I had reported the result under this name,but as you are a friend of my friend Nick,
(Who drove straight passed me in my hour of need) I will fill you in.
I had previously wrote to Nissan enquiring about the 3.0 litre engine,they wrote back giving me a reference number should I have problems.
After the engine expired over Xmas,I wrote to Nissan ,telling them that the vehicle had blown up ,and was now at King Nissan(quoting ref no).
After a delay of two weeks and numerous calls to the public relations dept (they kept saying King was not providing enough info,King said hold up was Nissan)The approval was given to replace the engine and turbo.
King said the job would take two weeks,7 weeks later( after some angry words in the 6th week) the vehicle was ready.
A good job generally,they forgot to tighten the alternator terminal,causing battery problems,but I located this fault and now no problems.
Cost of engine replacement to me -nothing.
I am now frustrated because I cannot find out what actually failed,and what changes were made to the current engines.
Even king Nissan could not tell me,I continue to make enquires.
Although the failure was most dissapointing, it is great to have a vehicle that the manufacturer stands behind in such a way,pitty they are so secretive.
Regards to your Dad

In the interest of reporting on the new engines. May I ask what year model your truck is ?
Josh.

I have heard they run short of oil around #4 piston and had a smaller oil capacity. Not sure of the oil capacity though. Glad to see they fixed it for free.
