Cookin'...The air in the GU

Thanks flappan! It's not really that big a deal, but I thought if there was a cure, I'd do it. I'm not really one for using air con, but when it's raining cats and dogs, you really need some form of air coming in, and at the moment, it's the aircon because it's too hot to have the normal air!

Just onto Nissan, got my 10,000 service this Friday, mentioned it to them along with the loose back bumpers, paint peeling off centre console, warm air, and no hazard lights.

I know the answer to all the probs except the hot air, but I thought, well, if Nissan are servicing the car, might as well be lazy and get them to do everything! ;-)

Flappan,

It was on the Patrol forum and it was Robin with his 4.8 GU that filled the hole with foam, and from memory it made between 2-3 degrees difference inside the cab.

Probably not enough to really worry about.

Gday mic,

doesn't sound worth it. I'm not too worried, easy fix will be to buy weather protector for window and keep window down!

What gu you running around in?

Cheers

Chris.

Chris,

I used to have the 4.2 with Safari turbo, but now I am running around in Truckster's favorite vehicle.

In fact this is my second one, for some reason I let the same voices in my head let me trade the last one in on another one - mental note to self - must see go and see Truckster for therapy!!

The 3.L really suits my needs at the moment, as I use my vehicle for work and enjoy the extended service interval over the 4.2. I am very happy with my choice of vehicle, and have no hesitation in recommending this vehicle to anyone.

After driving my car, 2 ex-Toyota drivers have been converted to the Nissan fold, so it can't be too bad.

Cheers , I remember him talking about it , just dont recall all the details.

Oh well . . . thats what climate control is for ; )

Sounds good mate! I'm sure you'll get many more years of reliable service.

Gday Mark,

I agree. With the turbo operating at higher temps, I'm sure that's the answer...be interesting to see what nissans story will be! I might just get one of those window plastic weather skirts so I can keep the window down.

Cheers

Chris.

Hi Mark, my 4.2td does exactly the same and I rekon it's the heat transfer from the engine to the cabin air intake.
When travelling on hot days I lift the bonnet when I stop letting the heat out of the engine bay and this helps volumes. Like most of us my engine bay is crouded out with extra batts and all those other little goodies we like.
As I do not have an intercooler maybe I should put the intercooler bonnet on to get more air past the donk.

Chris M,

Yeah wack one of those window weather protector thingys on, I really Lik'em..........um...err......I'm sure that it will help.........<:-)

Browny

Dodger,

Thanks mate, looks like I'll just get used to it! I'm sure I'll get over it considering how much I enjoy driving it.

Browny,

I see where your coming from mate! Classic...

Cheers

Chris.

Gday Rowler,

Guess I'll just sacrifice the economy if it gets too hot and flick the air con on to cool things down...

Thanks mate,

Chris.

Cheers mate. I'll let everyone know that Nissan tell me the same thing on Friday!

Cheers

Chris.

Nope...mentioned in one of my posts the other day that TJM have put off production as there trying to get the new OEM bar done for the series IIII Nissan Patrol.

I'm first on the list at Brendale to have it done. Just waiting...and waiting.

How's your beast going mate?
