2000 Nissan Patrol Nissan Patrol –Build July 2000. 3.0Litre ZD 30 Diesel Engine. The engine in this vehicle is not the 2000 – 2001 “Hand Grenade” Engine that was originally in the vehicle . The old motor was replaced with a 2007 3.0 Litre ZD 30 Diesel in January 2015. The old motor lived up to its Hand Grenade image and exploded with just under 200, 000 km on the clock. The new motor when fitted had 166, 000 km on the clock and and has a slightly larger capacity than the old one. Proof of motor purchase and mileage is available. Current mileage is just under 215, 000 km and the new motor has traveled only around 15, 000 km since it was installed. I have had Boost and Exhaust Temp gauges fitted to keep an eye on things. Gooogle the price of replacement motors and see how much they cost. Vehicle has never been off road or on the beach and I have owned it for around 7 years. Previous owners were a middle aged couple on the Sunshine Coast. I spoke with them before buying it and they assured me that they had never been off road or on the beach with it and only towed their caravan. I bought it to tow a van too but never did as my work committments did not permit.
