Has anybody had any dealings with the serena the seating looks more useable than the t2
Engine wise the 2.3 diesel is it ok
Any info would be great

they're a pretty decent motor i had a 2.0 diesel get same rust probs on sills tho, basically same mechanics as a terrano but with out the 4wd system

Seating is defo more useable than our kiddy seats. If memory serves me from my Nissan days it's the TD23 engine so should pretty much be the same as ours. I liked em but they are a little narrow and top heavy if you know what I mean so no charging around bends I'm afraid.

i had a 1995 m reg 2.3 diesel serena i was brilliant i only changed due to wife writing it of 2 years ago and a nissan mistral was all i could find at short notice engine was trouble free and was a brilliant all round car and the seating had a good setup i am thinking of getting another one but may go for a import as they have a lot more spec but you wont go wrong with a serena :thumb2

Cheers guys
Think il have a look if any local and have a shufty around one
Ones on ebay the boot space once third row of seats are used look to be enough for a pushchair

yes they are a good little van, ive worked one one once, very similar to the terrano, a lot of the interior parts are identical

the LDV cub is the same too:thumb2

Which parts of the mechanics are the same? :nenau
Different engine, gearbox, hubs are 5 bolt, ball joints are different.
Brake pads look similar though.
Both use H4 headlight bulbs too.

friend of mine has one & again he swears by it trouble free many years i also was looking at them wondered what sort of fuel consumption to expect as it looks slightly heavier than average car
