- In this video I take a look at the Nissan Elgrand E51 from a U.K customer's perspective. The U.K imports many of these every year from Japan but I didn't find many videos talking about import cars the way I wanted to see them.
Keep an eye for my follow up on the Elgrand E50 and I'm also trying to get information together to make a Elgrand history video.
We now have a facebook page: / auto-fanatica-34126388... - Auta a dopravní prostředky
I was asked last night about the catalytic converter issues on the E51 and thought I'd best say something about it. Yes the Back CATs are a problem and it's a good idea to get them De-Cored as you really only need the front ones for U.K emissions laws. Should you decide to get a custom stainless made with Hi-Flow CATs in it, this would obviously fix the problem too. The 3.5 sounds great with a custom exhaust system ;-) Hopefully this helps potential buyers.
As I mentioned, the Elgrand OC is a great forum if you want to know more about these MPVs.
Only down side is that you get really bad mpg with the rear cats removed. I got 13-16mpg 🙁
The front cats are the issue, not the rears! If you're going to review a car, get the facts right!
@@legopepsi you are right. It is the front ones. Not sure what I was thinking there because I had mine done. Thanks for the correction.
Cracking review, gets straight to the point & no waffling on! Keep it up!
Love your presentation style and delivery! You get straight to the point! Very helpful and informative video, hoping to get an E51 soon! 🤞
Love your dry sense of humor.
Really enjoy your video's, love your voice really smooth on the ear, straight to the point and love the dry sense of humour. Keep it up.
Good honest review......great info......but as this looks like a basic model, it is worth looking at a higher spec. But was surprised by the price. I thought it would be more, but great because it gives me a starting point. Thanks a ton!.
Well done, like your style , balanced personal views. Keep going 😎
I'm getting better with every video I've made. This is my first one. The latest upload is a Nissan Cube and our next one is the Porte I mentioned the latest VLOG. I will be doing a video comparing this E51 Highay Star 2.5 to an XL 3.5. I have not done any filming on that one yet so I'm sorry I can't give you anyone a timescale on that.
I'd like you to review every car I look at buying. Great stuff. 👍
Love the commentary Mate. Bloody Legend!
Awesome work!
Good review tiger - thanks
Great review. Thank you.
Indicators on the right and wipers on the left.
Definitely how it should be.
That was really helpful thnx
My next video is on the Elgrand E50, after that, I'm not sure yet. I'll think of something.
Feel like it was a honest review, thx
Nice video, very helpful. I bought a 1999 mitsubishi delica l400 about 9 years ago, and am just looking for a replacement.
Nice to see the seating design is the same on the Elgrand. Something sorely missing in the likes of the Galaxy or even Caravelle. What's the point in having all that space if you can't get a full size plasterboard in the back, or do a run to the tip? With the Deli or Elgrand you can use it as a van one day and a people carrier the next (after a good sweep out).
I might buy one and convert to lpg. I guess there will be room under the chassis for a spare wheel tank.
we had a royal exceed lwb deli and are looking to replace it with a el grand. Did you buy one and how is it going?
The indicators are where they should be :) My 3.5 gets up to 60 in 9 seconds.
Yes it was made the right way. :D
But the pedals are still the same.
I'm looking to buy one of these this week. I'm Co cerned about the 8th seat not having much room in the back so you know how this seating lay out works as from the photos of the one I'm possibly buying it looks like someone has to sit uncomfy between a fold
I would prefer to have only 1 side with the electric sliding door. Because if the electrics stuff up, you can use the other door without issue.

Well the Nissan Titan has 14 cupholders... and 5 seats. 😁
Well the minidisc player isn´t outdated I´d say. It´s just one of those formats that were popular in Japan but nearly nowhere else.
If u still read your comments....please could u help?...im thinking of buying and e50 1998 ...looks spotless with 39000 miles and history ..it has a 3.3 engine ....is this a v6?...is it powerful enough to enjoy putting my foot down every now and again? And is this a good van i need to use it for the odd overnight stay, a few times a week around town, and longer journeys to cricket matches up and down the country... I want it to be nice to drive and powerful enough...and to last me ....its a bit overpriced I know that but it really is in mint condition its the 4wd caravan edition, with cloth spongy seats....I really like the weird look but I would like to know if u think this is a good buy....I used to nave a mazda bongo and loved that...any advice you could offer would be appreciated 😀
Hi I'm looking to import a similar elgrand in the uk. Can you reccomend any sites? Great video.
DCY Europe originally brought this one into the UK for me. I've recently had an Odyssey brought in by David at DR Kuruma based in Moray. It might be worth looking him up. I'll be posting links to his fb and website in an upcoming video on the Odyssey MK3. I'm hoping to have the only 3 odysseys in Inverness there for filming.

The 2nd time: After 2000. But still slightly after 2000 it was good.
Does anybody knows what EURO engine is ?
its a shame this not in HD atleast can you re upload?
I have already uploaded a HD version of this. For some reason, everyone only finds this one. You can find it in my MPV or import playlists.
I just bought one as they look super pimp, and i can charge my clients more when they see a van rock up that looks better than there bmws etc
I think your MPG estimates are a little optimistic.
Fair comment. They are not well known for fuel economy. To be fair, I did hint at that ;-)
How to change the language plz
That's so dark I couldnt see much.
