1985 Nissan Patrol review from Australia and New Zealand
"Will go anywhere vehicle"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Air conditioning compressor
Radiator
All due to age of vehicle - what can you expect!!
General comments?
This 4x4 has lots of torque,
will go anywhere, tow anything and is reliable. Ours is a swb and although the ride isn't quite the smooth of new cars (super heavy duty suspension doesn't help) and the comfort isn't all that great, you get used to it and miss it when you drive other cars. And at least you know that when you came home from playing all it needs is a hose out and it's all good - no carpet to worry about etc.
