R3MR

[Waypher]

Hello,

I've just joined the forum as I'm about to buy my first 4X4....a Nissan Terrano R3MR 2.7TDI....and I've got a sneaky feeling that I'll be needing plenty of help,advice,technical assistance and sympathy !

I'm the wrong side of 50,but have never owned or driven any 4X4 in my life so I'm looking forward to the challenge of ownership and maybe some gentle off-roading/green laning.

I'm located on the border of Sheffield and the Peak District.

Cheers.

If you're going to be offroading/green lanes etc why choose a R3M
You'd be better off with a swb T2

I did warn you that I knew nothing about what I was getting into.

Realistically it will be used 98% for commuting and 2% for very gentle macho posturing.

Fairy snuff, mind you the R3M's hardly an eco warrior with it's fuel consumption
They're auto I think and heavier than a Terrano so logic says you'll be around the very low 20s to the old gallon

Is this you being "gentle" with me then?

Oh yes
Is this R3M a cheap one you've seen somewhere? Just curious mate but they will be a thirsty beast for 98% "commuting", whatever that is

Dont buy it, buy a terrano, or if u want a unibody offroader, get a rav 4 tbh

Cheap enough to be "disposable" after 6 months of money pit misery!
Watch this space!

Hahaha

No, older cars and classics have always been part of my life, despite their negative effect on finances.

I'm sure a cheap old 4x4 will be much of the same.

Ignore what they say....Age does not necessarily bring wisdom !

hey welcome, local member, we've got some great lanes close by
and members from much further afield have met up.

Dont know much about yours though we've had a few on here and
believe some of under neath is like the popular terrrano2.

Thanks for the Sheffield welcome.

Whereabouts are the "local" lanes?

Yes, I was going to ask if anyone knew about parts compatibility/interchangeability between the various models.
As is common on the R3MR, the chrome bumper corners are rusty/messy.
Do they share bumper sections with any more mainstream models?
