Hi and welcome to the madhouse, sorry, club! We're a friendly bunch, even known to welcome foreigners like Scottish and Welsh so you will feel at home with us.
Although I live in Bristol, in the UK, I spend about half my time in Spain (I am here at the moment, until next Friday). I stay about halfway between Marbella and Malaga, in a small town called Coin. My daughter and her family (husband and three children) live here permanently.

I have a 1994 Terrano which I drove down from England 3 years ago, registering it as a Spanish vehicle in 2011, it has proved to be the ideal vehicle for the area, my daughter, most of her friends, and friends that we have made over here, live up mountain tracks which would wreck most 2wd cars quickly, a 4x4 is essential in these circumstances.

Whereabouts in Spain are you, if not too far away it would be good perhaps to meet up at some time?
Anyway, a warm welcome to the Nissan 4x4 Owners Club, you will find lots of help on here, and who knows, maybe you will be able to help other newcomers to these amazing and longlasting 4 x 4's.

It's nice to meet someone near to me, at least in my country, because I live like 300km or so from Coin (wasn't there the fires last summer?). I'm next to Mojácar (sure you know), in a village called Antas, at 5km to Vera.

Your car is older than mine, maybe 100cv?. I don't even understand how can you drive here with the steering wheel in the right side, I couldn't drive that way if I had an european vehicle in the UK . I use my car mainly just to go to work, but also I have a house for the weekends in a far place, in the middle of fields and a 4x4 is very usefull to take there. By the way, I'm the only spanish neighbor there, because near there are germans, britishes, and belgians...a complete mix of countries!

Well well, backing to the point, I'm so glad of your wellcomes, you makes me feel like in home.

And one more thing, I'll take the advantage of writing here to improve my english with all you so, please, if you see any "big" mistake on my writings, tell me

Hi again. Agreed, you're a bit too far away for a meet up, I'm not too sure where Mojacar is, but a 600kms round trip is too much for one day.

Re the fires in Coin, we were here at that time, the flames came to within 0.5km of the house we were staying in, we were watching them constantly, preparing to evacuate if necessary, but they were stopped by a fire break created at the top of a hill. The people of Ochen were not so fortunate, the whole town was evacuated, one person died when he went back for his dog. The road from Alhaurin el Grande to Fuengirola gave a good indication of how serious the damage was - as far as the eye could see everything was black, many thousands of hectares and many houses, plus animals were lost. However we drove down there yesterday and the grass and greenery have already started to grow back, it will be many years before the trees grow back though.
The fires were followed a week later by torrential rain, causing the town of Alora to be flooded to a depth of 1.5m, Alora is just a few kms away from Coin.

How do you manage for Terrano parts here in Spain, I know some new parts are available, but when I go to a car breakers to try to get used parts, they mostly just laugh - there are so many Terranos in Spain, but none in the breakers yards, this means any used parts I need I have to bring over on the plane from England, ok with small things but not possible with big items. I have been trying to get a kilometres speedometer or speedometer face to replace my miles per hour one, but it doesn't seem possible. We have a large car breaker here in Coin, but they have no Terranos, and last year I went to 6 breakers in Malaga and they also had no Terranos. I wonder where all the old Terranos go!
All the best
