Nissan Terrano road tests and consumer car reviews

Nissan Terrano 1999

I am amazed that the info re replacement sills for the short or long versions of this vehicle, which on the whole is an excellent vehicle but on looking at loads of them lately (as my son needs one) ALL have rotten sections below the door pillar. It seems like you have to be the secret service to try to find replacement sill panels for these cars on the NET. When we were young I welded loads of different sills onto vehicles that had this regularly found problem. I’m sure someone would become a millionare in no time if they stocked these panels and made them well advertised. What is wrong with Nissan anyhow? The Terrano is a very quality car but this rotting could be avoided so is it built into a limited obsolecense policy. The engines & boxes do up to 500,000 miles I’m told by a reliable source. A green taxi driver (Nissan engine)told me he had 300,250 oon the clock & still going!!
