What causes a Nissan Patrol to overheat?
One of the most common reasons that a vehicle overheats is a bad thermostat . If your radiator overflow is full (and you radiator fan is kicking on), it is very likely that a bad thermostat or bad water pump are causing your Patrol to overheat. Of these two, the thermostat fails more often than the water pump.
Why is coolant leaking from my Nissan Patrol?
The story of coolant leaking begins back when i bought the car, but i found 2 reasons…old WP broken and a faulty gasket at the water outlet. Replaced the WP and the gasket, the leak moved somewhere else. Of course, i could change the WP but if the leak does not dissapear ?
What should the temp be on a Nissan TD42?
From factory, Nissan states 118°C as safe working temp for the TD42. Despite being well over 100°C, it’s still not boiling at that stage. This is due to the system being pressurised, which raises the boiling point of the coolant/water mix. So after you’ve made sure there are no leaks in the system, the next thing to look at is your radiator cap.

Why is my RD28T head not working properly?
The reason for no. 6 cylinder being the problem is that the cooling vanes in the head are too tightly made so the water going to cool the last cylinder flows a bit too slow. This is what I’ve been told. Would be happy to have a bit more details from a guy who has done this operation many times.
Can You ” hone ” a Nissan Patrol head gasket?
No 1, you cannot “hone” a head gasket, if you can its news to me. The HG must be treated with the upmost care and installation needs to be precise. The fire rings on the gasket are the most important bit and to make them bigger is not possible. Headgaskets are high tech things these days.
