Just keep moving up the nissan command chain until you get the correct answer ;-)

Let us know how you go as I have a leather steering wheel on my 03 patrol also. I would not accept it is due to wear and tear after 20,000kms let alone 100,000kms. If the prduct is faulty it should be rectified. I would try ringing Nissan direct & quote what your dealer is telling you along with his name.

Atually I remember reading in the manual that if you are not happy with the service from a dealer there is a number to call Nissan on.

Brent,
I have a 2003 ST 3.0TD and have had a small problem with the steering wheel horn pad, the console cover and the ash trays, in that the paint is wearing without any misuse. The dealer has stated that the new colour is a bit lighter and instead of manufacturing new parts they simply sprayed over the old stock and now they face a problem because the paint ain't stickin.!
Since new I have had 4 console covers (new one yesterday) and they also replaced
the horn pad assemlbly (over $1000 worth as it includes the airbag)
the dealer in sympathetic and will change then again if need be, he wants to take photos to send to Nissan to make them aware of the problemo.
Anyhow put that to your dealer. If no luck change dealer and make noise.
Good luck
Mick

hey Mick, my dealer is maybe reconsidering they said a head at nissan need to come and
check it, they only visit the dealers once a month.
is it possible to get your dealers name and number so i could have a chat and see if he could help me work this out. i dont want to go barking at the nissan heads yet.
Thanks for you help

Brent,
Sorry to hear your bad luck with the stearing wheel cover.
I have had a similar problem with a wheel shearing the wheeel studs compleatly off whilst doing 100km per hour and when I asked Nissan for warrenty their reply was "sorry this is
well outside of our warrenty guidelines" not bad hey, and this was from the top. Used to allways drive Toyota's but thought i would give Nissan a go this time and when it come to cdrunch time no warrenty. No second guesses for what brand I will be purchasing next time.
All the best of luck with your claim.
Goona
