We have owned a Nissan 3.0 turbo diesel for 8 years . Its on its 3rd engine and only done 92000 miles . Nissan UK have been useless and deny that there is a design fault with the engine . I really don't understand why these vehicles get reviews stating there bullet proof.My advice is avoid like the plague and buy a Toyota or Land Rover instead .

Purchased used Nissan Patrol 30k miles, chosen for claimed reliability and lower priced than equivalent 4x4's. I actually quite liked it and it was civilised on road, however it did prove unreliable with various electrical problems. It was only average off road and build quality was poor compared to some of it's rivals, indeed the front foot wells sufferred serious corrosion and some panels were flimsy and dented easily. I now own a Land rover Defender, and quite frankly it is far superior to th ...- Read Guest's review (130 words)

Nissan Patrol GR 3.0 Turbo Diesel
Blew out a piston & turbo @ 148000 km driving on the highway @ 130KM/Hr
Engine loosing cooling liquid since 120000 km.
Very robust car, the 3.0 diesel engine has worthless quality however.

Nissan Patrol GR 3.0 turbo diesel will blow piston and turbo before it reaches 200,000 kms. this is a very common problem. the motor will cost you a minimum $12,000. nissan are obviously very aware of this problem- Read Guest's review (35 words)

i used in the middle east and afghanistan. the work horse of the world. 350,000 KMH's and all i replaced on my 1998 Y61 Nissan Patrol super safari was the tyres and the battery.
tyre wear on the front outta edge, lower bushes on the front trail arm wear out quick when it lives in the desert . but its all simple to fix and costs peanuts.
the euro version 2.8 is under powered unlike the middle east version 4.5 and 4.8 petrol engines.
im on my 3rd patrol and its part of my life and i love it. it ...- Read wadifox's review (114 words)

The Nissan Patrol GR 3.0 is a nice size, has a good reliable 6 cylinder diesel engine, and in my opinion is great value for money. The performance is great, same with practicality and same on reliability.- Read Guest's review (35 words)

Since my review given in Aug 2006 have just suffered engine failure, Nissan Patrol is 2001 model, with 3 ltr T/D ony 75,200 miles and very regularly serviced (every 6,000 miles), Just being checked as I write this, but not happy that this so-called tough engine is not!
I preferred the 4.2 ltd Diesel 6 cylinder.
Anyone else had problems with the 3 ltd T/D ??- Read Stuart Herron's review (83 words)

The Nissan Patrol 3.0 has more power than the 4.2. It tows a 20ft caravan very well. Good to drive and the auto is excellent around town. Also for towing. Would have another one.
So far at 90,000 there are no problems showing up. Runs like new.- Read terrygoltz's review (101 words)

Timeless looks, built to last. Might be clumsy around town buy 100% reliable. Had a trooper, reliable, and tough, but seats tilted foward, 4x4 system out of the ark. Had Land Rover, Discovery & Range Rover, auto boxes all went wrong, costly repair, head gasket on disco, landy great off road, but too basic, all overated status symbol. Patrol great off road, could drive through a house, tow a tank, loads of grunt. Despite weight, still get 30mpg. Fulfills all my shooting requirments, its not quick ...- Read theshooter's review (113 words)

Have used the Nissan Patrol GR 3.0 as a tow unit for 21 foot caravan all over Australia. I had minor problem with air intake sensor and got excellent support from Nissan. It's a bit cumbersome in city, however, I could not recommend enough! I have heard horror stories but friends with same unit had similar experience to mine, so I do recommend it.- Read bigal3464's review (62 words)

My 4x4s get used for their purpose of working, and whilst regularly serviced they are not 'pampered'!!
I have had several other 4x4s: Troopers, Range Rover, 110 Landrover, Shogun, Discoveries! The Patrols have been the best so far.- Read Stuart Herron's review (72 words)

Comment by lightbug
I have a new Nissan Patrol since Jul 04 and it is powerful!
159hp I think
It has no engine problems if it did I am sure they wouldn't have full warranty for THREE YEARS It has a beautiful ride you feel safe being in it because its one of the biggest 4x4 on the road and the engine does 30mpg+
A+++++++LOVE IT- Read lightbug's review (74 words)

Well, my Nissan Patrol GR 3.0 has had three clutches, Two replacement engines and one turbo.
I am not very happy as Nissan admitted to Turbo and Oil problems on all 3.0 litre engines.
I drove Landrover Discovery's before, and over in 6 years 3 different cars never broke down.
Although the Nissan Patrol DOES give me the best drive by far, when it is well.- Read davephoto1's review (76 words)

The first 18 months with my Nissan Patrol GR were fine without too many problems. Then it started... We live in the Czech Republic, and when driving home from a skiing holiday in Austria in 2004, the engine lost power and thick blue smoke belched out. This was due to 2 pistons having blown a hole in them. It was impossible to get spare pistons in the whole of Europe, and we tried everywhere. We eventually got 2 nearly new pistons from Germany (from a crashed Patrol). The car was off the road for ...- Read nipper's review (371 words)

I love the sound of the diesel engine, my wife and I call it "the song of the diesel." The turbo can be handy when trying to pass other vehicles on our narrow twisty roads. It won't win any drag races, but I didn't buy it for that. I used to own a Trooper which I really liked, but the first time I crawled under the Patrol I was blown away at the sturdiness of the underpinnings. This is one stout machine. It handles great and soaks up the bumps in the road with aplomb. I love this machine.- Read AirPedro's review (139 words)

I have driven loads of 4x4's and this Nissan Patrol GR 3.0 is my favourite for off-road handling.
Much bigger than a Land Rover Defender or Disco also far more comfortable and reliable.
Although often compared to the Shogun they are completely different vehicles, buy the Shogun to drive the kids to school and tow a caravan, buy a Patrol if you need a vehicle that can work off road, it is nearly as good on the road (Different suspension set up). Patrol is better than diesel Land Cruisers, not ...- Read waldo's review (356 words and 1 comment)
