How do you engage a 4WD Nissan Patrol?
To engage, you have to STOP, engage 4wd in the transfer box and as you drive off they go into the lock position. Once in the lock position they remain there until you deselect 4wd and reverse back. The action of reversing back puts the hubs back into the FREE position.
Are Y62 patrols solid axle?
THE Nissan name is legendary in Australia, no pun intended, and the Patrol is a large reason for it. It’s because of this that the Y62 Patrol has come as such a shock. 50 years of solid axles out the window with independent suspension front and rear; the body is large, interior is leather, and the engine is petrol.
How do I switch to 4X4?
With the truck in park or neutral and your foot on the brake, place the transfer case stick-shift into the “4X4” or “4 Hi(gh)” position. If you have push buttons to activate your automatic locking hubs, press the “4X4” or “4 Hi(gh)” button. You’re now in 4-wheel drive.
What are the issues with the new Nissan Patrol Y62?
I recently bought a new patrol y62 2013 model. It is now only 1000 kilometres on the clock. The car has started to show some funny issues from the second day I started to drive it. It gives out a whirring/humming noise which is more audible at 70-80kph. The noise resembles an uneven loaded washing machine spinning.

Why does my new Patrol Y62 make noise?
This can cause tyres to develop flatspots which in turn makes noise and vibration. Ive seen this many times. Probably flat spots on your tyres from sitting for ages. Also sounds like the brakes were quite rusty and didn’t bed in properly and you’ve now got brake shudder.
