1998 Nissan Terrano II TI review from Australia and New Zealand

Front bumper mount broke on Gibb River Road.

Air flow motor died at 40,000 km, but just out of 3 year warranty.

Bush around gear lever broke and lever went sloppy (still able to select gears)

Clutch fluid hose leaking around connection block (underneath vehicle)

All in all I have really enjoyed owning this vehicle and look forward to keeping it for a few more years.

Biggest disappointment was the air flow meter and subsequent poor service from the the manufacturer and dealer. This fault occurs with all Terrano 2's and should have been a recall.

After much complaining, Nissan finally sold me the air flow meter at half price - $600.00 instead of $1200.00.

If you are lucky enough not to have lost your air flow meter yet, start knocking very loudly on the dealers door and may I wish you the best of luck.

If you have to purchase one yourself Coventry's or Repco can source one from Bosch in Germany (5-7 days delivery) for $313.00 plus $88.00 freight. (price quoted June 2003) Makes my 1/2 price of $600.00 look a bit sad doesn't it.

Looking at towing a camper or small van around Australia with this vehicle soon, able to tow in excess of 2000kg, but tow-ball weight of 100kg is a bit of a restriction.
