Yet another Newbie
Hi All,
Proud owner of a Y61 Patrol 3.0Di (2001 vintage) popping my head over the wall to say Hi. For the last 12 years or so I have used another manufacturer's 4z4 offering (a grey import) as transport when required for the bossess, 4 kids, 2 dogs and occasionally the mother-in-law as well, and also as tug for our mobile holiday home! Scarcity and silly prices when replacement time came round led to the search for an alternative, and the Patrol seemed to fit the bill nicely. So far, after a month's ownership, I'm certainly not disappointed with the truck, even going so far to say that (failed flywheel excepted) I am really enjoying the Patrol experience. One BIG question though - can I really not use 4HI on tarmac? For the last 12 years I've enjoyed the choice of using either 2HI or 4HI on road as I felt fit. Can the centre diff on these beasts really not cope with lack of wheel slippage when in 4HI? Any advice greatly appreciated. Cheers all, Kev |

Hi Kev and welcome aboard. Sounds like a nice motor you have there, I’m fancying a trol myself but not for a little while yet. There are several people on here with Patrol experience on here so someone will be a long. If the drive train is similar to a terrano it doesn’t have a centre diff which is why 4wd couldn’t be used on a hard surface. This said I’m no Patrol expert so it may not be a similar setup as a Terrano.

Welcome bud, from another Trol owner
Had a 3.0 Y61 like yours previously and now running an older swb 4.2 Y60. Jim is on the ball, there is no centre diff on the Trols so don't use 4H on tarmac as wheels need to be able to slip. |

Thanks both for your replies.
Yep, no centre diff would preclude use of 4Hi on tarmac! Don't really know why I didn't think of that, other than that I sort of assumed that the 'diff-lock' switch was for the centre diff - which I now know it obviously isn't .... Cheers, Kev |

Thought about something like a Delica, they seem rather practical, and got more headroom than a Terrano/.

Welcome aboard Kev!
How/why did your flywheel fail? |

My clutch is slipping at the moment, and getting worse.
