1999 Nissan Patrol GU DX LWB review from Australia and New Zealand
"A supremely capable off road vehicle straight out of the showroom"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Dealer fitted winch badly corroded due to being fitted upside down and unable to drain water (no choice as the Nissan approved bullbar only allows the Nissan approved winch to be fitted upside down).
Some dust leakage at the rear barn doors.
General comments?
+ points.
Excellent off road. Good wheel articulation, good approach and departure angles, excellent LSD in rear axle, live axles front & rear, 1000km+ range on standard fuel tanks.
Reasonable on road. Comfortable seats and driving position, not much body roll, good view in traffic.
Excellent value for money.
- points.
Only one reverse light.
Rear plastic bumper ends are weak and easily damaged off road.
Some rattles and squeaks have developed.
Rear barn doors leak a bit of dust.
