1987 Nissan Bluebird LX review from UK and Ireland
"Very reliable if a bit boring"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Radiator went around 180,000 miles. Heater matrix around the 150 mark. Usual exhaust and brake pads. Serviced every year and it always started. Walked the MOT every year with nothing more than a bulb.
Engine gave up at 219000 miles. Never had a problem with rust.
General comments?
Well equipped for a LX. Quite slow and not particularly economical. Tough as old nails and a Primera was supposed to have replaced it. I could not find one, but now I always buy Japanese cars (although it was built in the UK!)
Only its old fashioned image lets it down.
