When the owner of this 2020 Y62 Nissan Patrol visited Rawson Motors, they reported that the air-conditioning system was no longer working. Given the size of the vehicle and its dual-zone A/C system, proper cooling throughout the cabin is essential—especially for families and long-distance touring.
Our team had previously carried out diagnostic testing and confirmed the fault:
The A/C lines had become dislodged from their mountings and were rubbing, causing a leak. We identified the leak was located between the body and the chassis of the vehicle. Repairing these lines requires extensive access that is not possible with standard in-situ methods.
Before separating the cab from the chassis, all connected fluids and dependent systems must be safely drained or isolated:
To access the A/C pipework, a large portion of the body structure required removal. The team undertook the following:
This provided the clear access required to safely replace the damaged lines.
With the body lifted:
The vehicle was then reassembled with the same level of care and precision:
After thorough testing, the Patrol’s air-conditioning systems were fully restored, with strong, consistent cooling throughout the cabin. No leaks were detected and all vehicle systems operated as intended.
This repair required significant expertise, specialist equipment and a structured workflow to ensure the vehicle was returned to factory-level performance.
