help 3l sve

[panelbeater]

terry 3l sve auto has got my attention.
i know it wont run on oil.what are the lumps ie gears,belt chain anything that i should watch out for.
its a fair way from me so might go up to notts tomorrow.
price is within reach full mot 54 so 295 tax.
sve top of the range i think.

Check the fluids and if all good take it for a drive and give it the berries. Should go like the clappers. The auto box needs checking when hot though but it's not very accessible. Same side as engine oil but next to the bulk head.
3 speed and overdrive (button on gear selector).
I love mine:)

[panelbeater]

ta seeing it tomorrow 430ml rd trip

Hi,
If it's got a tow-bar ,try the box when engine cold at light throttle 1 > 2 upshift, they can be a bit slow / harsh, try it in normal & sport!! modes seen a few with blocked oil strainers & bad clutch packs.

Yes when cold it's a bit harsh between 1 as 2 but when warm it should be silky.

[johnb5177]

Mine is a little slow on 1 to 2 upshift when cold, but soon warms up and is fine then....

Mine's a manual, but the engines are solid enough. Apparently early 3.0ltrs had some issues, but they were all sorted way before the one your looking at.

Fair play Panelbeater!!!!! They are lovely lovely things to drive, my grandads is a delight and power to boot.

I'm really surprised you've gone for the 3.0 litre though as you're a devout wvo man, you wait till I grass you up on the other forum :lol Just kidding your secret is safe with me.

You are going to have to dig deeper than you have been to fuel the beast now mate but on the other hand I'm sure you'll enjoy not having to faff around with dirty veg now, I don't miss it one bit.

As for uploading photo's I did a write up on it a while ago, easy once you've done it a few times pal;

That's it mate, once you've clicked on the IMG code it should flash yellow and the link will be in your clipboard cache, you just need to go into your forum post and press Ctrl + V or right click and paste.

You'll then see the image in place of the code once you've submitted your post :thumb2

now another one just turned up.
oil warning light is now staying on done 300mls now,checked oil ok took oil filler off of top and plenty of oil.
looked on workshop pages ond found how to change switch,the high speed one above starter motor,got yellow band.
went to factors for correct oil,mineral so got that at home,they only show 1 switch.did some research and 1 is 15 the other is 25,what one is what and on fbay only 1 is showing,well loads but the 15 one i think so is it a nissan part.

My Grandad's has had the low pressure oil switch replaced, I have the invoice for it at home as it was done at Nissan.

I'll get the part number for you when I'm home :thumb2

[panelbeater]

found its the p25 one for above starter and p15 for the oil filter one. nearest nissan is colchester,i will phone them.will change both.

[Davey Boy]

The oil should be synthetic not mineral I would have thought. Can any one else confirm for an 04 plate.:nenau

[Blocky10]

Yup. Semi 15/40 and I think it's somewhere near 7 litres:eek:

[panelbeater]
