As Zippy says. It's easy to forget its there and bomb up to a roundabout only to have to slam on at the last second. Mine's 1600Kg but i think the max is 2800Kg and the towball limit is 120Kg. (iirc). Ned

I wasn't going to lacroupade, no way i was going to shell out that much. Going to order the part soon so i'll let you know how i get on. Thanks Everyone :thumb2

Went to pick up the car last Sat morning from the garage and after forking out £467.05 it wouldn't start, just a loud "thunk". Got the mechanic out and he explained that the ignition barrel was also on it's way out and that i had to turn the key slowly. :nenau This was the cause of the starter...

Had a few sleeps since then. Sometimes i go upstairs for something then forget what it was when i get there.:nenau. Getting old.

Blimey! Where did that photo come from? :eek: Don't remember putting that on or was it from i few years ago before i rejoined? Car & Van both brand spanking new then (Before the credit crunch):lol It's a 2.7 Tdi 2005 from MotorPoint Burnley.

Garage just rang to say it wasn't the oil leak, the starter motor had burnt out and everything else seems OK. The bad news is that a new one is £490 + vat from Nissan. They're ringing round to try and source a cheaper one. A quick google search found some for £180 - £220 pound mark (OEM), what...

Was on the way to my sisters on Saturday and had just got on the Motorway when the kids piped up "Whats that smell Dad". I thought it was coming from elsewhere until i looked in my rear view mirror and saw a James Bond like smoke screen behind me. I pulled onto the hard shoulder just as my ABS...

There's a compressor and associated tools in Aldi this week.

Mine doesn't work either. After a visit to Knowsley Safari Park and one of the Baboons took a liking to it. :doh

When i'm towing my caravan (twin axle - >1600Kg) it will quite happily tug uphill in 1st gear (in 2h) at about walking pace without me touching the pedals. Awesome.

This worked a treat on mine, looked like James Bond laying a smoke screen flaying it down the motorway but after that was clear.:thumb2

"Ditto" Did mine last week and now i have to turn the heater down coz it's too hot. Ned

Awaiting the trip to France. Gorgeous weather setting off, got to the docks to find i had forgot to empty the loo the last time we were in the van :doh. The stench was something else. Still knocks the kids sick thinking of it.

Thanks for the new stat Bobmog, fitted it this morning (me fingers, ears & nose were close to dropping off it was that cold :eek:) took it for a blast up the M62 (up to 5,000 revs and cleared all the black smoke). What a result! warm as toast and as Tezzer said i had to open a window.:thumb2...

Hi Jim T Where did you get your 88 degree thermostat if you don't mind me asking? Thanks

Nice One Swanny My wipers stopped in the middle of the windscreen a few days ago. I could hear the motor running and both wipers moved when i tried them by hand. I followed your instructions and the nut holding the mechanism to the motor was loose, bit of a bugger to get tight again and on the...
