I rang the dealer today to see when the Patrol will be ready as when I took it in they said it took 3 weeks to get new engine from Japan but good news we should have it back at the end of the week as Mr Nissan ok'd new motor & they are in the process of fitting it now.

Bob + Lex,
Glad you had the same success as I did getting a new donk.
Nissan will send you a letter saying that the engine fitted is the correct replacement for your model.
But that is all they will say,trying to get any further information gets a brick wall response.
I am not sure you get a series 3 motor as a result of this,they could be modified series 2 engines.
The only difference I can see is an additional sensor in the oil galleries,and I believe a second oil pickup in the sump.
Still apart from a pressure sensor on the intercooler packing up ,the engine is going great.
If your dealer is more forthcoming on the engine please let us know.
Regards

I was told its the series 3 engine as rebuilding the series 2 is a waste of money since they had to redesign the combustion chamber & pistons to fix the problem. If I get more detail when we get it back I will let you know.

Andrew patrol,
I have the gregorys manual,inside it shows how to
bridge out the
test socket terminals, and receive the flashing engine light messages.
By bridging out terminals 1-8 the light flashed 9 long space 5 short.
I compared this to the list provided which identified the sensor.
Regards
