    Insurance claim

    Think your last comment is probably right, unless the other bloke can prove he parked too close in which case it would definitely be his problem as the driver...there are plenty of such cases involving taxi drivers where the driver is found liable...but as expected, its panning out into one of...

    Power (or lack of!) woes!!!!

    And Johnno, I've been saying this for years til people are sick of it, but these trucks, indeed any serious diesel engine, benefit from serious use, the harder the better. I've had five and they've all been driven very hard and had high miles....and I've never had fuelling or MAF problems. So...

    whats the best nissan for towing a caravan

    Have to correct you old bean.....the Tunit II fits all 2.7 Terranos and Mavericks...the wiring is just different depending on what ECU you have. I installed mine originally in a round headlight MkII, then removed it and put it into a MkIV, then just been removed again and stuck on the wifes...

    Insurance claim

    Interesting one but sadly I suspect your lad will be deemed responsible. I am assuming the cock was sat in his car when it happened? Fact is, I believe the insurer will say that it was the drivers parking that potentially caused the door to be opened on to the other vehicle, irrespective of...

    terrano 2 central locking

    does it do it if you unlock with the key instead of the fob - alarm will go off til you put key in ignition and turn? Defo sounds like an electrical short or possibly a misbehaving fob/remote?

    terrano 2 central locking

    Ricks idea is good, although I've only ever seen problems where its refused to lock, as opposed to the other way round. Based on similar experiences with other vehicles though (inc a brand-new 5-series) I'd be looking for water ingress in an electrical connection somewhere......you might need...

    London emission zone query

    But seriously, who cares about giant motorhomes? If you can afford to be blocking traffic with one you can afford to pay...... I pity the lezzers...... Bollox logic with all this stuff though, just like the Severn Bridge. Apparently ALL Land Rovers, irrespective of type/design are classed as...

    whats the best nissan for towing a caravan

    I assume you mean a genuine Hitachi part because theres no such thing as a Nissan MAF......the Bosch and Hitachi units were the only OEM. If it says Nissan on it and nowt else I'd suggest its dodgy. And in case anyone hasn't mentioned it already (I only got this far down the thread LOL) you...

    Ypres

    You can't begin to imagine can you, not just what he went through at the time, but what he clearly carried with him his entire life..... I often drive through northern France, and especially when I've done it in the depths of winter, with wind and snow literally howling across these wide, flat...

    Not as fired up as she used to be.

    Stupid question, but how do you know....does the GP light not illuminate or something? Can't say I've ever seen the T2 light NOT come on but that isn't to say other vehicles don't work differently....:nenau From digging it seems some vehicles do rely on a pre-combustion chamber (mentioned...

    How does one start without glowplugs then? Or do you just mean ones that are acting up.....

    Not as fired up as she used to be.

    Still find it odd how these work out.....my old automatic was up to around 210,000 miles last time I heard (with Extreme), left me with 180k miles and unless he did it afterwards, the plugs were never touched in all that time. Current truck has done 50k since purchased and again, unless they...

    Not as fired up as she used to be.

    I am not arguing the diagnosis for a moment but I'd be interested to understand how these fuels could cause the glowplugs to burn away. Firstly lets remember that Makeitfits bio is a totally different home-brewed kettle of fish to veg oil. Given the skanky chemicals that are used in the...
