Hi All,
I have a Feb 04 3.0TD (94k's) Patrol that I am looking at moving on and trading to a new pathie (Ti 2.5TD), I have being eying it off since its release last year, there are so many things to like about it, just too many to list. I would like to hear some feedback from some people that have already bought the new pathie. Things I would like to know are, actual fuel ecomony from the auto diesel, noise inside vs the 3.0td patrol auto, off road ability on mild tracks and sand perfomance and just any warranty problems or general issues, my patrol has been under warranty more times than I can remember and I can only hope that I may have more luck with the new pathie.
Any help would be appreciated.
Ben.
P.S I have also visited the POCA website and am waiting for a respnse there, I am just trying to be sure before I buy!

I will list just some of the issues,
1. Front hubs replaced 3 times, finally problem solved by Nissan after 55 k's, something to do with the transfer case
2. Suspension arm came loose first time off road (fixed)
3. Vibration/humm through car @ 110kph (given up Nissan can't fix)
4. Diff wine @ 100kph (given up Nissan can't fix and it has not gotten any worse)
There many other little issues that have just been annoying over time.
Thanks, Ben.
(Opps, sorry guys, I think I put this text in the wrong place the first time)
