another newbie , please be gentle im a nissan virgin

hmm, unexpected, this is.

still, what are the levels now though, is there still too much? don't risk driving too far yet, unless you are certain AA/RAC will drop you back at home, but things do seem to be happening, looks like Hilltop's expert advice is going somewhere...

 

[Hilltop]

We have a clue? 10 times moving the lever back and forth to fill the TC and get drive?
well it could be the fluid pump on the input of the box but they are a bit bomb proof! it's
a good bet it the filter in the box, you have to drain the fluid and remove the gearbox sump
and clean the filter. I would take it back to the garage that put the fluid in and get him to
do the job right.

ps I THINK the above is part of the 60k service (I THINK)

ok , just drove round the block about 30 times , apart from a couple of episodes when i pulled up at a junction and it wouldnt set off without easing off the revs , it seemed ok , i checked the level when hot and its on the top of the dipstick , not on the lower level , also its missbehaving again and juddering , ... to me it seems that when its cold it runs ok , yours faithfully , confused in brighouse .

 

[extreme-4x4]

so we are looking at wrong oil or dirty filter or blocked oil cooler. or somit

throw these at your mechanic and see how that goes for now

 

[clivvy]

yup, need to get it back to the mech, make sure he wont charge you for anythign though unless he speaks with you first, you dont pay them to scratch their heads.

as a foot note, the issues i have with mine only occur when the engine is warm...

I told you these nissans are fussy oil drinkers :sly
Good luck mate hadnt picked up on the full wheelchair bit, sorry about that

Briggie, Louisa531 has just told me he (or she?) is trade and px is welcome.

If theyre telling the truth that changes the whole picture for trading standards and ebay.........chase em up and I've got copies of the messages :thumbs

 

[Deleted account DD]

[Bat21]

Pete, sorry to hear of your woes regarding your intro to Nissan 4x4 ownership... but it could be worse, you could have one of these parked outside

 

[briggie]

ha ha ha , thats our lasses disco !!!!! at least its running tho lol, still no bids on the mistral .

 

[briggie]

no bids yet , i cant believe it , the reserve is £1000 and i aint gonna drop that , the engine sounds sweet and everything else works ,even the a/c and electric folding mirrors !!!, its only done 80,000 miles .

stick with it mate. besides, i thought you were getting somewhere in terms of a fix? didnt you manage to drive it without fault the other day?

 

[briggie]

mechanic said it needs to go to a specialist auto gearbox centre for them to plug it into diagnostic gear , they charge £100 for this , he estimates a strip down and rebuild to cost £750 ..... not a option .

ouch, unbelievable.

 

[makeitfit]

Sorry to say mate but a nice looking truck with a sweet sounding engine and working aircon,BUT NO AUTO BOX, just means a pleasant seat in the carpark:doh
So it's only worth 4 or 5 hundred IMHO :augie
Have you ACTUALLY telephoned one of these autobox specialists yourself? Explain your situation and the overfill of oil etc. It may not need a rebuild, but stop all this hear say stuff and get to the phone and ring round a bit more including nissan garage and speak to the mechanics etc.
Sorry to sound a bit harsh but I still reckon you're getting a runaround here.
Good luck :thumbs

 

[briggie]

didnt sell .... some guy bid 600 for it , but his feedback was disgusting , offered a few stoopid swaps too ,including a motorbike and a fiesta ( manual ) despite it saying i needed a auto lol . ok my choices ....... i either pull it off the road and save up for a recon gearbox, i pay for a mobile mechanic to come and clean this filter thingy and check the pump , or .... i set fire to it and claim off my insurance lol . i will not give it away or sell it cheap .

Sorry to sound a bit harsh but I still reckon you're getting a runaround here.
Good luck :thumbs

Agreed.

As far as the seller goes get stuck in to them. You have more rights than you realised.

As they have coughed to being trade theyre in breach of ebay rules and you have protection from trading standards.

At least get a warm feeling from making them squirm, it wont cost you anything.
