Interesting and rare mk1 pathy/Terrano

[clivvy]

would that be a lot less power or more economical then?
its def nice looking, altho dont know what an old auto is like.

less power, about the same economy, very tuneable though and veg oil will help you out here. Old auto's are fine, gearboxes are excellent if they have been looked after.

gear driven, so more mechanically reliable and sound then.
will def look into it, all depends on other interested parties and if they outdo my meager budget lol.

veg oil....i take it you dont buy from shop and pour straight out of the bottle?

yup, the gear driven engines have proven to be very reliable. Hence why the TD27 has been used since the days of this Mk1, right up to the newer Terranos with the I/C attached.

as for veg oil, you go down to Aldi, buy their special offer veg oil, get a funnel, go out to your car, open the diesel cap, insert funnel, pour in veg oil, and drive off....!

ah, must of been the car when i tried it then, had a serena 4x4, put veg/sunflower oil in and it smoked and drove like was running on syrup.
turns out the cat had been removed tho.

Veg oil as in chip fat.

I buy 20L of KTC soya oil from booker for £18.49 currently

Rapeseed is apparently better but I've been running soya for about 5 months and its perfect.

I dump 2x20L barrels in on booker carpark then drive round the corner and put £10 worth of unleaded petrol on top of that. Petrol is required when its below 10 degrees ambient temp, and makes it run like a dream. This will not harm your 2.7 truck in anyway as the Bosch vp44 pump is made to take this fuel

 

[clivvy]

yeah not all engines are capable of taking veg oil. Not sure about the serena, but I wouldn't pour veg oil into any old diesel, especially a more modern one, they don't like it. The TD27 is an old engine...

So that gets me just under 3/4 of a tank for £46.98 and I get 250-300 miles depending how I drive

 

[maverick fox]

it was an m reg and i hakf hakfed it with deisel.
i wouldnt use veg unless basically got held by the hand on first time as dont want another engine going on me.

 

[clivvy]

it wont do any damage at all, you could also use biodiesel if you can find a supplier, that's a bit cheaper than diesel at the pumps and again, wont harm your car.

[maverick fox]

its certainly looking more inviting, depending on if i could get it, and if it was worth it

 

[clivvy]

well, don't pay a lot for it is all I would say, obviously he wants £600, so don't go mad if you bid for it.:thumbs

 

[stinka]

Message him and say you'll take it this weekend for £600 cash

I'd say its worth up to £1200 if its very tidy

yeah,...it'd have to be VERY tidy for £1200 considering its an auto, but still, these were really well built. I'd be having a right good look at the sills etc although I don't think these suffered quite the same as the Terrano?

 

[maverick fox]

if he wants too much more i wouldnt be able to afford it, and i woulndt be allowed if he wanted 1200 lol.
might message him and ask for an offer, shame its not closer.

 

[stinka]

Rot wise I think nissans are all the same. My dad had an old kingcab Datsun 720 '86 and this was in about 1993, and that was completely rotten

 

[stinka]
