1983 Nissan Patrol dlx review from Australia and New Zealand
"A bloody Ripper!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My 82 L28 engine chewed a bit and and had some oil leaks. Replaced with 85 L28 and goes fine now.
General Stuff like water Pumps and Booster Units.
General comments?
This wagon is the wagon, Can't beat this year, specially because this is a deluxe wagon and not a shorty, truck never has any problems, rather than lack of speed, yet that is made up for with its ability to run stuff down! As well as the ability to be turned into a H1 Hummer which I plan to do.
On The hole this a fantastic truck and it will probably never die.
