What's the Nissan Patrol like?
Hi, I am considering purchasing a 2004 Nissan GR Patrol passenger vehicle privately. It has 110,000 miles (177,000km) on the clock and I am getting bad reports on this type of vehicle regarding overheating and cyclinder head problems etc, but at the same time I'm aware that it is the vehicle of choice with United Nations and Irish Army etc, although I do see the Irish Army has changed to Mitsubishi Pajeros. What do you think?

Does the Nissan Almera burn oil?
Hi, I have a 2007 Nissan Almera 1.5-litre petrol. I just wanted to enquire whether it was unusual for these Almeras to have high engine oil consumption.
Many thanks

What's causing my Mercedes battery to drain?
My 2004 Mercedes-Benz M 270 CDI is discharging the battery within two hours when parked up. It has a new battery, the sam units, alternator, interior overhead lighting, door sensors and dash clocks were all checked and none of these seem to be the problem. Have you any suggestions to what may be the cause of this?
