1986 Nissan Patrol review from UK and Ireland
"It will tow your house at 80 mph"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
After a young yuppy chap tried to drive his 1968 VW Karmen under the front, we replaced the broken plastic grille with a bit of "Sitex", there was a bit of overheating in summer time, A "clunk" on the steering was sorted with a bit of grease.
My head gasket will not blow.
The seats smell of dog.
General comments?
These vehicles will tow anything anywhere.
At 17 years ours has quite a bit of rust around the sills etc especially the bottom of the tailgate, but what do you expect?
