1984 Nissan Patrol MQ review from Australia and New Zealand
"A real tough vehicle"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Cylinder head cracked on overheating engine.
General comments?
A very reliable and tough off road vehicle. Very economical on Diesel and being short wheelbase is very manouverable. Its go anywhere ability is as good as a Land Rover, but more reliable.
