I was intending to buy an R3M-R when I signed up here a short while ago. I travelled 200 miles to see one but was disappointed with its cosmetic state, even though it drove brilliantly. To get over my disappointment I sought solace in the car buying section on Ebay ( as you do ). I ended up...

I know what you mean about addictive. During the test drive the seller directed me up a rocky, muddy woodland path after telling me to select 4WD. I'm sure it wasn't challenging to you lot but I felt like I'd climbed Everest in it! Definitely put a big grin on my face.:)

Cheers for taking the time with those answers Clive. "Very basic" is what I was after !:thumbs

Just to re-itterate, I'm new here and have never owned any 4x4 vehicle or an automatic. However I'm 52 years old and a quick learner. I had a test drive in a Terrano R3MR 2.7TD Auto this weekend but was confused about the various settings available. This model has a switch on the dash with...

Those quotes sound good to me. I'm in a similar position...trying to decide whether or not to buy an R3MR that I've been to see. Adrian Flux were the most user friendly to deal with....the grey import business was no problem at all. However, the best I could do was £378 for 6000 mile per annum...

Thanks for the warm welcome.....that's very good of you to offer me a trip out. I pick it up in a couple of weeks time (other end of the country as usual! ) and once I've got used to driving it I may take you up on that offer. I'll give Admiral a try on the insurance...that premium sounds...

Sounds great...my end of town and suitable for a novice. While I'm on...any tips for cheap insurance, maybe as a second vehicle?

Thanks for the welcome. Yes I assume that they were all originally for the Japanese domestic market. They look like a terrano on steroids!:D

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...

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 !:D

Thanks....but what makes you think I'm not from Yorkshire?:nenau

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

Is this you being "gentle" with me then?:rolleyes:

I did warn you that I knew nothing about what I was getting into.:D Realistically it will be used 98% for commuting and 2% for very gentle macho posturing.

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 !:lol I'm the wrong side of 50,but have never owned or driven any 4X4 in my life so...
