    Need help - car won't start

    You well be right. If the glow plugs are dodgy now, would you expect a jump start to work? Also, I see the prices of the plugs varied greatly. You can get a set of 4 from EBay for £22.90 (ref:151192096995) but some are a lot dearer!??

    Need help - car won't start

    I accidentally left the ignition on at one point this afternoon for say 10 mins or so, but still was no joy. I'll see what tomorrow brings. :-)

    Need help - car won't start

    Not sure if the battery was disconnected by the welder - I'll talk to them tomorrow and see what they have to say - it seems OK. Lazy starter motor - well, you could be right, but until this week it has always sprung to life quite enthusiastically (unlike me!) Have I tested the glow plugs? -...

    Need help - car won't start

    I'll try jump starting tomorrow. I would have thought the battery would last longer than a couple of years - although I don't have the actual date as it was on the car when we bought it some 18months ago - but it certainly looked brand new). It's a "Platinum Xtreme Plus" which I gather is...

    Need help - car won't start

    Car is being a pain and just won't start. It's a Nissan Terrano II TDI SE Touring 1998. The battery is roughly 2 years old. The vehicle hadn't been run much prior to the problem - went to start her on Friday after a bit of a frost - a couple of pathetic turns and dead. Ok, so fully charged...

    Fog/Spot Lights and the law

    Thanks to both of you for your input. From what been said, it seems best that I avoid using these lights, or just remember to switch them off whenever there is oncoming traffic (as per normal dipping of headlights). As to what constitutes "reduced visibility" - I read somewhere that it was...

    Fog/Spot Lights and the law

    I have a Nissan Terrano II TDI SE Touring 1998. In addition to the main Headlights/Sidelights, there two smaller lights inset in the front grill which are described in the Nissan Terrano Owners Handbook as "Front fog lights" (Pages 1-16 and 7-26). The bulbs give off the standard white light...

    Want to remove rear lights assembly

    Thanks for the input. The weather has so wet, that I haven't had an opportunity to have another session with this. I gather that it is some sort of slide type connector, but it so encased with grot that I couldn't work out how to actually disconnect it without possibly damaging things and then...

    Want to remove rear lights assembly

    My rear nearside indicator stopped working the other day, and on further investigation found half a swimming pool of rainwater sitting in the holder/assembly where the indicator and tail lights etc live. I managed to remove some of the water, but as often seems to be the case with car...

    Wanted: Front N/S Indicator lense/Cover

    Hi folks Minor argument today with one of our other vehicles - the Front Nearside Coloured Indicator lense cover is partly smashed. :( I have ordered some repair tape, but really need a new cover as there are lots of little bits! :eek: One for sale on Ebay will set me back £23 as it includes...

    Disconnecting Battery - Any Issues?

    Thanks everyone for your input. I disconnected and reconnected without any issues - thankfully. :-)

    Disconnecting Battery - Any Issues?

    I have a Nissan Terrano II TDI SE Touring (Reg: 28/1/98), and need to disconnect the battery for a while. Is there anything I need to be aware of as regards Radio Codes, Immobilizer/locking & keys/codes etc before I do this? The radio is not the original but I do have the code written down...

    Bleep/Alarm after starting engine

    Thanks for all the responses. The issue is now narrowed down - it seems that the speaker that is fitted where I hear the bleep is not connected to the radio. I have a Nokia 6700S but I have have not yet worked out how to connect to this set up, even though I have enabled Bluetooth. Do I have to...

    Bleep/Alarm after starting engine

    Update: 1) The sound only occurs (roughly 20-30secs) after the car is actually started (rather than the ignition being turn on). 2) It's coming from the radio/CD player's speakers (looks like they were added), even though the radio/CD player is turned off. 3) Turning on the bluetooth setting...

    Bleep/Alarm after starting engine

    Thanks for the suggestions. The bleep is a far deeper note than the "you've left your lights on" sound, and it bleeps just the once roughly 20-30 secs after starting the engine. It isn't the original radio, there is no sat nav or add-on dials that I am aware of. The sound seems to be coming...

    Bleep/Alarm after starting engine

    Approx one minute after starting the engine, I hear a single bleep which presumably is for some reason (nothing shows on the dashboard)? I thought it might be to remind me to belt up, but it still does it when belted. Can't see anything in the manual about this - any ideas anyone?

    Restarting after engine stall

    Thanks for all the comments - seems there is no problem then :)

    Restarting after engine stall

    If it is a faulty ignition switch barrel, would you expect me to be having problems when starting normally (it always starts first time)?

    Restarting after engine stall

    On the odd occasion when the engine has stalled (eg when pulling away in too high a gear with perhaps insufficient revs), I found that I can't restart the car unless I turn the key back to the OFF position and then start afresh. I'm not sure if this is to be expected, but thought it was worth...
