The same thing happened to me last weekend, The first time I have really needed 4WD, (to pull my caravan out of a waterlogged and muddy pitch) and there was nothing on the front end. I did have having problems recently with noise from one of the hubs, which reading another thread pointed to the...

Mine started doing the same thig shortly after I bought it. A good belt to the top of the dash seemed to cure it until the nect time. Eventually I had it replaced under the used car warranty which I bought with the car. The New one does somthing similar as well, but only betweenn turning the...

Back in the 80's I went to a independent tyre place, after a puncture, to get a new tyre and asked for the tracking to be checked (due to what happened to cause the puncture) I remember them using mats, rather than any alignment gear, to check and adjust the tracking. To be honest I had no...

Has anybody got any experience of this type of wheel alighment equipment. Gunson do one called Trakrite Wheel Alignment Gauge http://www.gunson.co.uk/item.aspx?item=1812 I understand that they do not measure toe-in or toe-out but simply indicate the side force produced by the tyres/wheels as...

Just seen BBC news 24. The did a feature on the Navara NCap results. Called it one of the most dangerous vehicles on the road. There were 2 safety issues. 1 the airbag on the passenger side deployed a fraction too late causing the dummy's head to go under it and hit the screen. 2 they did not...

Last year I bougt a bottle of "Muckoff" form the local caravan centre. Although very expensive I found it worked very well on getting both the green off the roof and also the black streaks from below the windows etc. (The usual effects of uncovered winter storage) It also worked brilliantly on...

Did the same thing myself a few months ago. Put about 3 litres if petrol in before i realised.Tank was almost empty so i filled up to the brim with diesel to dilute as much as possible. Have done arround 2,000 miles since without problems. Did some research, at the time, to try to put my mind...

When I was in the process of buying my T2, I noticed some quite noticeable wear of the inside edge of one of the front tyres, when I went on a test drive it was pulling quite noticeable to the left and the steering wheel was out of alignment. Partly at my insistence and partly as a result of...

There was a thread on this subject running last year. Apparently Nissan set their speedos at the lowest possible (legal) setting. Somthing like a reduction of 10% plus 3 mph, (which ties in whi my own experience of the speedo showing 70 and the GPS showing 60) although I can't quite remember the...

Mine started doing the same a few months after I bought it (4 years old at the time). Luckily i had paid for a used car warranty and it was replaced, but I had to pay £45 for a full electrical reset first before the warranty company would concider it. It cost over £300 for the full module alone...

Thanks everyone for you help That is what I was afraid of, so i will take your advise and leave well alone for now especially as the new MAF seems to have cured the original problem. As it is a comon issue hopefuly it won't develop into anything more worrying. Thnx Rincewind

Here is the good news, I replaced my MAF sensor yesterday morning. So far it seems to have done the trick 8) . She accelerated better, and even at 80mph (that’s the speedo reading, the GPS says it is only around 70mph), she still has more to give. I even tried it for a short spin with the MAF...

I have contacted my local Nissan Dealer today who initially quoted me £94.43 including VAT for a new MAF. He then asked me if I'd had a quote from elswhere, I told him that I could definatly get one for £55 (I had seen them on ebay, at this price, today, but i did not tell him that). I also...

Thanks Gego for the straight talking. I will start looking for a new one. Rincewind

Thanks Gego for the reply Well it is a Bosh, So I guess it would be worth replacing it, can anyone let me know where I can get a good price on one? There is a difference with the MAF disconnected, it appears to rev cleaner and smoother. I have got to do the yorkshire run again tomorrow...

I was very disappointed with the performance of my Terrano during my recent caravanning holiday to southern France. Is seemed to lack power on hill climbs and even lost speed on the slightest incline, on the main auto routes I was down to third a lot of the time. Since returning I have not had...

I am currently using Castrol Magnatec and like rossco, from cold it takes about 2-3 seconds for the light to go out but goes out almost immediatly when warm. Now that the reseller's warranty is up and I will not be paying through the nose for servicing I doubt it will be getting treated to...

I have heard that the first thing to do when the ticket comes through is ask for a copy of the calibration certificate, to proove that the camera was within its calibration period when you were clocked. Apparently somthing like 30-40% of cameras are out of calibration at any one time, and if...
