I have a 2010 Patrol 3.0,70k on clock am going on trip mid sept.
Will be towing a Camel off road Bushman.
Plan Bris to Innaminka- Flinders Ranges-Lake Eyre-Birdsville-Brisbane.
If anyone could recomend a good service centre I would be very thankful.
Any info on road conditions and must see or stay would be welcome

I havn't used them in a few years as they are a bit far from home, but Motsons at Coopers Plains seemed to be very good, if a little pricey. They used to service my previous patrol. I am sure you will get other suggestions.

I've used Motson's a couple of times on my 4.2TDi Patrol....very happy , but a little pricey. You get what you pay for I guess.
Safe travelling.

Anthony at Buranda automotive is my suggestion. He is a nissan/toyota man who knows what to look for.
If it's quality you're after, he's your man. If its just a cheap price you want, don't waste the phone call.

2010 patrol with 70,000k's on it? Isn't it still under warranty?

Just take it to a reputable service centre, even a Nissan stealer...oops! I mean dealer...and keep your warranty squeaky clean.

I don't want to bag out the 3.0tdi because I had one and loved it...BUT...look after your warranty because you never know it's gunna go...BOOM!

Sorry, not having a go, just don't give Mr Nissan any excuse to void the warranty if needed.

They will look for reasons not to pay up.

Happy travels.
