1987 Nissan Sunny LX from UK and Ireland - Comments

In january of 1999, I had the clutch changed. I also changed the crankshaft seal this year due to leaking oil.

For a 15 year old car it drives and looks every bit as good as a new car.

I fully agree mate. I am english and now reside in Texas. I have the usa equivalent. Basically a 1984 sunny estate. They call it a nissan sentra wagon here!I have done 5,000 miles in it in two months and its never broken down. had to have a new distributor though as the electronic pack in the distributor kept getting too warm, a design fault. excellent vehicles.My car has zero rust as has been in texas all its life.

I must agree very nice car, only two faults I found was the boot was a poor design as bars stopped you loading your luggage in it, second it is a shame they never made it in a diesel, if they had I would go buy another nissan sunny today.

I drive a 1993 Diesel Sunny with 133,000 miles on the clock.

It has been fairly reliable with the exception of the alternator having to be replaced (£300 as it contains the hydraulic pump for steering and brakes) and also more recently the water pump and timing belt tensioners.

These are a rare vehicle and there seem to be no workshop manuals (diesel) available or vehicles in breakers for spares.

I now look forward to more trouble free miles.
