1984 Nissan Patrol MQ 2.8 petrol from Australia and New Zealand
Summary:
Very good tough and reliable when running; dream 4x4 for beginners and anyone in general
Faults:
Carburettor problems.. need a new one, can anyone help me out by any chance on where I can get one for it?
Everything else is fine, apart no carby.
General Comments:
Very tough reliable car, built like a tank, and runs like one.
Very good, decent ground clearance, minus a lift kit.
The interior is almost pristine condition; no holes apart from one in the seats.
Very comfortable and roomy car.
Short wheel base, so is very capable of maneuvering tighter and harder courses. Goes hard, but want a turbo for it in a few years.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

I have one in Costa Rica. It has a Sd33 diesel engine, and it really had taken me to every imaginable place. fuel expenses are a dime a week, has gone through 1 and 1/2 engine rebuilding, and even after at 500. 000 kilometers I would not change for any of those modern "RVs" that are a joke of a real 4WD.
