Don't you mean Bullshit?
I had no choice..
Good things can't last forever..
It was Either a zd30 or a Prado...
But in all seriousness I have no issue with zd30..
Every manufacturer has issues.. Nissan was years ahead of the market with the 4 pot in a full size forby. .
Unfortunately first round didn't work..
But they got better. .
Anyway.. enough dribble..
Fark me! I won't comment here or I'll get banned !!!!
….................... On the move
Nah... never happen, Clunk is still here for starters.
Best GU Patrol variant I have driven - TB48
Best GU Patrol variant I have owned - ZD30 CRD
Most fun GU Patrol homogenised variant I can afford - Chevy 6.5
IMHO, the thing to look for on the ZD30 is the same as any Diesel engine pretty much, service history.
They will all have leaking factory intercoolers
They will usually have that pesky weep from that bung on the block low, front, RHS
NADS means SFA, if they are gunna blow they will blow BUT I agree NADS will change the way they drive.
A series 1 or 2, statistics or lack of aside, definitely have/had an issue which Nissan 'secretly' rectified
The early CRD's have the oil pump bolt torque issue
The dual mass flywheel is a total POS idea
None of which means I wouldn't buy one at the appropriate price.
Once a vehicle is past 10 to 12 years old I tend to look less at the engine etc as the 'value' is in the whole package and often a shopping trolley is better buying than an offroad toy that has been knocked about a bit
