Manual/auto/diesel/turbo/petrol/series? ...helps if they mention this vital info. Caravanersforum is also not linking...seems dead?
Must be one of those days!
I had a 4.2 Patrol GU, and this is how I fixed it's overheating.
Heating Probs. Change the air con sensor left side bottom of radiator to one that allows the temp to go a bit higher and doesn't trip air con next is to flush block add one bottle of water wetter its made by red line oils get the pink one for commercial vehicles. It drops your operating temperature by 45 deg , after you have flushed every thing add water wetter then top with distilled water. You can add your normal antifreeze when adding the distilled water.
The water wetter is available from most places that sell truck parts .The sensor is available from Nissan but make sure it is the one that allows the heat to increase. This then stops the annoying air con cut out happening too early. Make sure you thoroughly flush the block and the radiator including the heater core. It really worked for me.

The 4.2 Patrol is a diesel manual only and comes turbo charged in the GU model.
