Hi, IÂ’m back again, again.

Hi folks, IÂ’m back again.
Having a real problem insuring my old terrano due to me not knowing which model it is, SE tdi, S tdi or sports tdi

When I enter the reg on any insurance websites it draws a blank and I have to input make and model and and which variant.
There is nothing on the log book to say which nor are there any badges on the car.
I rang the insurers and explained my predicament and they said I must find out before they will insure it.

I had a little look on the for sale websites and all the SE and sports models had colour coded body kits along the doors which mine does not have and I saw A for sale ad for a car that looked identical to mine (no body kit)which was being sold as an S so I told the insurers that I believed it was an S but according to the insurers it canÂ’t be an S as there computer says the S variant was only available between 00-02 and my vehicle is a 53 plate.

ItÂ’s a nightmare,

Any help in how I can tell for sure what model mine is as they say if I get it wrong they would void the insurance in the case of an accident would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Look on the V5 if you are not sure, if it is an import then the details will not have been entered in full so..... there should be a plate on the bodywork indicating the size of the engine in c.c. on mine it was on the inner wing panel to the left when you look under the bonnet.

If you get the chassis number with all the letters etc you should be able to google it and find the model variant. The below websites should help. you.

The VIN decoder on the second site shoud help.

Has this worked

I tried the decoder and no joy.
I have been on the phone to Nissan HQ and they could not tell me but have taken my details and said they will look into it.

It was built in sept 03 and first registered in Feb 04. If that’s any help.
