"Durable luxury car"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Rear power-window failed.

Rusted exhaust pipe, had to be replaced.

General comments?

Extremly durable engine and transmission.

Handles like a dream.

Luxurious interior, comfortable seats.

I have a similar car whose exhaust has just failed, and have been told that there is no replacement available any more. I would be interested to know from where you obtained the replacement exhaust.

Well, I was able to get an original pipe. But it was so expensive that I used a pipe from a Ford Scorpio and modified it so I fitted. It worked like a dream.

A nissan laurel is a dream to drive and a reliable car. I have a 1989 laurel it still runs like new and never failed a m.o.t test. even when your out of petrol it still runs like a full tank.

I currently drive a 1987 Nissan Laurel. It was given to me by a serviceman transferring out of area. The car is stylish, comfortable and quiet. Although it has a four cylinder, the power is adequate for Japanese driving conditions.

Hi Guys! I just bought a 1986 Nissan Laurel Grand Extra 2.8D (in line 6 diesel engine with 95 hp). It's just amazing. It was an old mans car and he'd taken care of it very well. The interior is beautiful, healthy and so quiet. The original (!!!) "hi-fi" system works properly, I just bought a CD adapter and it sounds like a Panasonic or JVC. It's easy to drive and with the economy button turned on it drinks just 8 liters / 100kms.I just would like to buy some american style cool alloys or mags for it. Then it'll be my dream car for a long time.

Hi

Anyone out there taken the rear seat out of an SGX C32 Laurel?

I am in the process of changing the interior in my SGL to SGX and I can't figure out how to get the back seats out of an SGX. They are reclining and seem to move on a runner. Any help appreciated, cheers.
