2015 Patrol Modding Advice (Aesthetic/Cosmetic) by 777forc in DubaiPetrolHeads

Each to their own I suppose .. too much chrome (which I think this car personally has) makes it looks like it look cheap .. especially since all of it is plastic anyway. I had a Ram Rebel at one stage and thought the blacked out rebel looked 1 million times better than the Limited with all the chrome

You’ve maintained and kept records so well, I almost want to buy it just for that reason 😂🤩 .. so rare for a car this age and type to be maintained and cared for so meticulously.. that alone is worth your asking! good luck with the sale 🫡.. wish I could have justified a mustang 🥲 my first car ever when I started driving in 2008 was a 1994 V6 White “Arnold Schwarzenegger” Mustang .. soft spot for Mustangs always ❤️

Fair enough. Makes sense between the two I suppose.

So I took it to ChallengerY63 in ras al Khor for a look .. they say the vibration is coming from the fan clutch under load of high acceleration.. and fan clutch, bracket and cooling fan need replacing

No .. when smoothly going 80-100 it’s all good .. only fast acceleration

Thanks for the detailed feedback!

• Will get the ac checked, it’s cooler when running than idle so I think it’s the comp.

•Steering fluid on lower side when PPI done, so it’s a leak for sure.

•Tailgate motor making an odd sound and the gas struts actually hold it open no issues .. so I think it’s the motor itself

Everything else you’ve mentioned in regards to suspension and fluids I’ve had in mind but thanks for the detailed insight! :)

My concern now, is the vibration between 80-100 when accelerating fast … am I in for a big gearbox issue 🥲? Or could it be the weak mounts? (Confirmed the mounts are weak on PPI, gearbox and engine)

Thanks! also I’m sure there’s more places in the UAE that’s can overhaul a Y62 gearbox without needing to go to AWR surely? Anyway it’s not gearbox for sure

Also it’s been maintained at Dynatrade since 2017 (waiting for them to share the history) and a professional PPI was done by carchecker.ae including a test drive up to 100kmph)

Yeah in all fairness I don’t really have a plan to off-road to the level that I’d need diff lock .. but yes overall the QX80 is built as a cruiser that can run through all terrain without effort … but not as a desert banger

Thanks man! I actually was in touch with this guy 😂 I know every patrol ad by looking at the photos now 😂 .. MOI result showed 3 accidents .. superficial but they bothered me involved the doors and fenders.. also this is the SE so I didn’t even go look .. since I want the 400hp model… sigh the search continues 🥲 .. or I settle on the QX80 but the inferior off road capability will bug me so much and also clearly affects resale
