1988 Nissan Bluebird GS review from UK and Ireland
What things have gone wrong with the car?
70,000 - needed new clutch.
88,000 - gearbox trouble (recon fitted), rear electric window failed.
180,000 - recon gearbox failed.
185,000 - cylinder head gasket leaking, corroded alternator connector, faulty windscreen wiper motor, handbrake ratchet broke.
210,000 - shock absorbers were really bad, leaking power steering rack.
General comments?
A lot of trouble but a lot of mileage, the bodywork was excellent throughout, it withstood over 220,000 miles and 10 British winters.
Fun to drive, and with many nice features like all round electric windows, electric sunroof, elec mirrors, internal central locking switch, switch on/off passenger windows, power steering, reclining rear seats, free Blaunpunkt Stereo system (which was very good), electric aerial.
The free Nissan toolkit with spanners and screwdrivers was nice.
A very comfortable car too.
