If you can crawl underneath there shouldn't be any more than surface rust, another member recently bought a very tidy 01 reg SWB Patrol, only to find the chassis rusted right through in several places - he's now in the process of fitting his original body to a replacement chassis!

i know what you mean there i went out 4 weeks ago and paid £1000.00 for a off road preped disco 300tdi only to put it in for a pre mot to have 4 pages !!! yes 4 pages of failures!!!!

so i will definatly not want that to happen again

Mud Monkey, you could start a thread asking what sort of things to check on a used T2, it might have some usefull results

Mr Mud Monkey, as a new member here my self (Start of this year) i can only say this! the guys on this site are brillient, the support you get when you need help is 2nd to none and saved me a few quid i can tell you. The £10 charge is more to keep idiots away from post bombing you with crap than anything i think.

As for going to look at a Nissan, trust me, you wont look back! they are fantastic, i had a 300tdi disco and would never NEVER have another one again. I have a Maverick my dad has a Pathfinder and my neice has the Terrano (Terrano and the Maverick are the same thing, just with a different badge) So dont worry about having one.

Oh ye,

Welcome to the site!

Mud_Monkey · 25-06-2011, 20:19

hi all bad news

didnt get the terrano,

got there after being told on the phone it was fine with no problems at all to find out it kicks blue smoke out the back and misses like a bugger, and had a major oil leak,

just wish people would be honest when going to look at a vehicle,

got a few more to look at though so still has not put me off nissan,

can anybody tell me what the 2.4 petrols are like aswell please????

many thanks for all the welcomes aswell.
