2000 Nissan Terrano II SE+ review from UK and Ireland
"On or Off-Road, the Terrano will get you there!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing major has gone wrong with this car.
MAF (Mass Air Flow Sensor) failed, but is a well known problem with these cars - quite cheap and simple to replace @ approx £60.
Fuel pipes rust badly above fuel tank; again a common problem - cheap and easy to sort with 3rd party rubber or plastic pipes.
General comments?
Terrano is an under-rated car for both on and off road use.
It handles well on road, but you do need to remember that you are driving a back wheel drive car (when in 2 wheel drive) that weighs approx 2 tons, so care has to be taken in the wet etc when cornering and braking (no worse than a BMW with rear wheel drive)
Off-road it blows many other rivals away with its low down torque and excellent ground clearance.
All in all a great motor (I've had four of these). I'm sorry to see they have now stopped making them, but there are still lots of second hand bargains out there.
