E-Mail nistune at [email protected] and look at the web site of nistune. They are located in New Zealand so wait 24H for a reply. I have a 3.0 terano with zexel pump and their software works with a suitable lead which is expensive but the software isn't. Bryn

Take the filler plug out on the side of the gearbox and see what type of fluid is in it and if it needs some. I thaought I had a gearbox oil leak for about an year as I could smell it when hot but it turned out to be power stearing fluid loss at the oil cooler front cross member and then getting...

2002 Terrano 3.0 DI. How do I get at the screw to remove the offside front indicator? Bryn

This type of motor should spin very fast off load aprox 10,000rpm so don't leave it spinning too long, that's one of the reasons the case is so strong incase it fly apart inside. Only real test is on load. Bryn

I fitted two pusher fans in front of the rad and simply stuck them on with sikaflex 221, very easy job on a 3.0 tdi. It was to cool the air con rad at tickover. Bryn
