Pud & Barb
After 4 week's we finally have the car back. $2,700.00
Nissan payed for the motor, we had to pay for labour and extra's. It was running when picked up, so thought all was
well. Got
home, went to start it and it takes about 5 minutes of winding before she spurts to life. Going back in tomorrow!!!!!!!!!!
Just as
well the old Holden keeps going on to get us about!
Cheer's,
Pud and Barb.

Your not far wrong Kesh.
You have to start just short of the rear diff. Remove rear tail shaft, transfer case, gearbox and then you can start on the drivers side engine mount. Once you get that out you can start on the spaghetti wiring.
Leave at least a day to just remove it.
You can do it without removing gearbox but it puts alot of stress on the engine mounts which usually stuffs them.
I am not being sarcastic but there is heaps of labour involved in working on these things.

That's terrible guys, I really feel for you.
My wife's Jackeroo has covered for my 4.2 Patrol on more than one occassion during the hotter months up north as
well. Sad that we need to vent these things as I believe it should not happen. Worst part is it wasn't even a Friday arvo rush job.
Good luck tomorrow. Trevor.
