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

You win so far

Lets hear for the oldies

P40MRT · 11-01-2010, 17:54

Not me, mine's a '98 too...

And it ticks all the boxes for me, so will be staying for probably another three years or so before probably being replaced by a Pathfinder...

Adz · 11-01-2010, 19:34

Mine's a 1995 (m) 1.7td

The Grim Reaper's is a 1994 (n) 2.7td

i htink the oldest i have ever seen is 1993, and that beleoned to Ian Douglas if i remember correctly, maybe we will have to get down to registration dates

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,

iandouglas · 11-01-2010, 22:15

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.
