This is a Genuine Nissan fuel door release cable, designed as a direct replacement for the Nissan Patrol GQ Y60 Long Wheel Base (LWB) models. This component is a New Old Stock (NOS) item, meaning it is an original factory part that has never been installed. The cable runs from the interior release lever, located near the bonnet release, all the way back to the latch mechanism on the fuel filler door.

Over time, the original cable can stretch, fray, or snap due to corrosion and thousands of opening cycles. Damage to the outer sheathing is also common, which can cause the internal cable to bind and eventually fail. This results in a fuel door that won't open, or a release lever that feels overly stiff, loose, or completely disconnected. Installing this genuine replacement restores the correct, reliable function to your fuel door release system.

Aftermarket Product Alternative

While aftermarket options may be available, they often use lower-grade materials that can stretch or snap prematurely, leaving you unable to open your fuel door. Cheaper cables may also have incorrect lengths or end fittings, leading to a difficult installation and unreliable operation. Choosing a Genuine Nissan part guarantees the correct material specification and dimensions for a hassle-free fit and dependable performance.
