MR RABBIT 715 Posted February 13, 2016 Report Share Posted February 13, 2016 What's best engine to get The 2.7 or 3.0???? Been looking at these as seem cheap to buy.. To do family run and to do lamping nights in are they reliable enough to start everytime and not let me down????? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
neil82 1,008 Posted February 13, 2016 Report Share Posted February 13, 2016 2.7 is an old school diesel, fairly robust if a bit prone to cooling problems, the 3.0 is a common rail engine, chain driven so no belt BUT nissans don`t like missing oil changes, check the older 2.7 models for rust and later ones for service history Quote Link to post Share on other sites

scottish lurcher 185 Posted February 16, 2016 Report Share Posted February 16, 2016 2.7 is bullet proof and the one to get 3.0 is prone to problems ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
