I can tell you that another 16 years RnD at Nissan didn't make the Patrol any quieter - although I did get an extra gear.

new suspension, new seals all round, new head or rebored, complete engine rebuild ideally, chassis is fine rust everywhere else now.
its a shame but it was offroad for 3 years when the government wouldn't let me register it. it fell nicely between too old for normal registration and too young for vintage registration. they have now changed that and kindly backdated the fine for non registration for me.

now desperately trying to avoid the wife calling a scrappy to collect it! between that and the disco im not popular
