Nissan Terrano

Damned good trucks. 2.7 diesel engine goes forever with rarely any trouble, had 250k+ out of one of mine and that was mostly around the fields.

Front wings are often a rust point as can be where the body/chassis fixes together.

I've had half a dozen or more, much prefer the 2 doors, 36mpg if you stick to 56mph and that's about a sensible top speed for them anyway. They are not racing cars.

Droplinks to front antiroll bar need replacing at pretty much every MOT but cost less than £15 a pair and are easy enough to do yourself.

The arch of the front wing is what rots. Yes they bolt on but you first have to have one to bolt on, that's not so easy.

They don't all rot, my current Terrano is 20 years old and the wings are like new as far as rot goes. One is not so pretty as I drove it into a tree trunk much to my displeasure. :(

Mines been relentless, had it about seven years. Only problem was a broken wire under the bulkhead for air sensor, causing erratic tickover. Got rusty front wings now though, but a great truck. Only got stuck once when it was up to the axles. Had to get the tractor to pull it out. Also as td39 says, the front links need attention.

Couple of questions just out of interest, what taxi do they share an engine with?

 

What's the difflock arrangement? I see that there is a low box but do they have a transfer box locker or rear difflock? Just out of interest!

The old style London black cabs.

 

No diff lock on the rear it's a slip diff arrangement

Cool guys, canny thank you enough for this info so far, really keen to get something with low box, looks like the crv is getting the bullet!

 

Does anyone have an automatic one?

 

My mate Tom has the 3 lt auto version works great never got stuck yet!

 

I have a 2.7 2003 one done 90k now and just love it. Unbeatable value for money 4x4.
