A question on the 97 model, what happened to it?? I saw a 93 last week and it looked very similar to the newer models now being used buy the DF

What are you cackling at, fatty? Too much pie, that's your problem. -
Sorry you'll have to explain a little more clearly.
If you are asking what I think..the 89 series was actually out of production..built in spain. the DF wanted a new run of Nissans in about 96..but early models of the GR were available..but at the time the army didn't want this particular variant as it was too expensive. so Nissan in spain carried out another limited production run of the older type especially for the army..
Is that any help?Covid 19 is not over ....it's still very real..Hand Hygiene, Social Distancing and Masks.. keep safe -
That clears it up. And is actually what I had assumed. Cheers murphWhat are you cackling at, fatty? Too much pie, that's your problem.Comment

Have you been in one of those nissans recently?! Drivers tend to know which nissan is which not by the registration number, but by the number of things that are broken on them.....Originally posted by Truck DriverComment

I wouldn't touch a boarded army Nissan with a barge pole. The ones approaching boarding are bad enough. I'd like for example when I do get my Pajo, to be able to open the doors occasionally. I was once in an army nissan where the front seat passenger wasn't able to open his door until the passenger behind opened his. The Back doors hinges were painted closed. To attempt opening would bend the bodywork, instead of working the hinge.
My only hope is that replacements appear immediately after the old nissans are boarded.

Thankfully, I've never seen any THAT bad. As for your latter point, don't hold your breath,especially those on the books of Reserve units (would be mainly talking about Cav, Tpt here..). Speaking of Cav, 31 Cav seem to have a nice clatter of vehicles (was about to detail, but then slapped self on the wrist just in time
)

A lot of units don't have any vehicles of their own (other than possibly a transit) and have to requisition MT from their parent PDF unit. Which saves a lot of messing around maintaining vehicles (just fuel them and clean them when you're finished with them, but that means that on the way home from a weekend you might have to go out of your way to find an open POL point), but means you tend to get the worst nissans goingComment

well for cross country performance and reliabilty..I know the one I'd pick..I was fortunate to have the same car for three years on the PSOs...and she was a 95 GS. Things are not that bad. The Nissans were a far better buy that any of the earlier land rover products we had..Covid 19 is not over ....it's still very real..Hand Hygiene, Social Distancing and Masks.. keep safeComment

Don't know where you're coming from with that, Barry.Originally posted by Barry
Out of hours, the Ord Sgt for the unit in charge of POL for a location, is the person to contact for fuelling.
Of course, note I didn't say anything about trying to find that individual on a weekend......
All joking aside, the people in your own location are quite good in this regard..."Well, stone me! We've had cocaine, bribery and Arsenal scoring two goals at home.
