Problem is, that not all Nissan's cause problems.
Do not get me wrong, Tojo's play up too. But it's just how you are looked after that makes the difference.
Now my next door neighbour had the 3.0 Lt Patrol, an 03 model in an auto, and he has dragged a rather large caravan all over Oz, with it.
He is a retired mechanic, and he loves the thing, done 185,000 and never missed a beat. One thing he tells me, that you must change the oil every 7500 km, and every 5000km when towing, weather it need to be or not, and the filter.
He recons that by skimping on oil changes, as those little motors are really working hard. The other thing is that you can really only use the recomended oil in them. And he often wonders if people just slap a Safeway special oils, in their 3.0 TD (whatever) and have never read exactly what specification of oil is really needed.
Or is he just one of the lucky ones ?
