    Turbo Removal

    it is meant to be split at this point, i assume differnet end parts depending on car? nice copper gasket an all! the knack appears to be to undoo rear clamp which is on this part, then downpipe which is on a flexi can move to where you want, basicly out of the way. gives you better access to the...

    engine missing

    ok, more news, the throttle/butterfly device on inlet manifold, appears to be linked to egr system, anyone else agree on this? It appears it works in tandem with egr, so as egr opens the butterfly closes, makes sort of sense, as air coming in from intercooler would otherwise collide with hot air...

    Turbo Removal

    i took the end of turbo off, where downpipe to exhaust is, made easier/possible after finding clamp to engine, the complete section then moves out of way, leaves room to get to last/hard nut hold turbo to manifold, turbo oil and water pipes are tricky, but off it comes, i then needed manifold...

    Turbo Removal

    engine missing

    reduction in intake appertures of manifold will be a big issue on performance, +15mm is bad, have seen this loads on renault/nissan engines, but not on proper nissans, has anyone else come accross egr marmite in manifold? look at all the racers who port or free flow heads for performance. it is...

    air bag light flashing

    wow, it worked, i was skeptical to say the least, tried method in downloads, and didnt work, tried door/light switch, and worked first time, but no visible patern to flash's in diag mode. but after switch off no light! that took a shorter time i expect, than the time it took the old owner to...

    Reverse Camera

    i have a 57 plate xtrail as a company car/van. never use camera for reversing, dont trust it, dont know why, just not nataural, you lose alround vision whilst staring at camera. but for hitching up, it is fantastic, i would have it just for that alone, people look as i hitch trailer in awe that...

    Idle oddness

    does it have aircon? could be electric cluctch cutting in. or on second thoughts, the ecu controls the diesel heaters, which come on and off after car is running, so could be these?

    Driveshaft rubber boot

    i did mine last week, only issue i had was removing shaft from transfer box, as hub was already off, tip, crack off bolts first! then joint does seoerate easily, i cleaned both ends and re-greased, before hand cleaned shaft and painted, but make sure joints are marked before seperating as must...

    Fixed Hubs - The Latest

    not 100% sure it is traction control, we bought a lot of these and had a driver demo day with Nissan tech bloke, 4x4 on xtrail is "soft" but apprently the lock switch locks the centre difs so power is spread 25% to each wheel, but dif will always alow for a spinning wheel to take all power, if...

But my company car is a new shape Xtrail, very good car and engine, just poor seats! anyway back to this topic, could it be with the advent of ABS? my xtrail locks the hubs with the ABS, each wheel when in 4x4 lock mode is braked if...
