Well I had a 1965 land rover before this nissan and I have to say this a great improvement

heat and comfort in the winter and it starts first turn of the key

it ploughs on no matter what and tows anything out of anywhere I ask it too

my beat friend.
I do have a soft spot for landies but nissans are the best

Whilst we are on the subject of oldies. I think that the older non intercooled diesel is far more reliable if not quite as nippy. To me it's more simpler and has not got the same electronic components to go wrong. What do others think?

i agree, just as they are older the age related issues creep in like rust!

and having driven both i find the older ones seem to have a bit more low end torque,

hi guys just looked up my terrano .
First reg 12/5/93.
VIN NO.VSKKVNR20U0202514

If memory serves first production model in UK was June 1993.
I have been told by a previous owner that it was a pre production model that was sent around various dealerships pre production.
can you remember my post on this truck having 2 Dipsticks the later one fitted because the original was a swine to get at.

No Joking aside I think the td is the best for towing in mud snow and ice

from the scrap yard

and so warm

harlowmaverick · 12-01-2010, 03:58

Hi Wendy, I actually think that although the TD has not got as much power as the TDI I think it is more reliable with less electronics to go wrong. That's not saying the TDI is particularly unreliable as we know but I feel things are better kept simple.
