couple of niggles to sort out like the nsr quarter window is just a bit of perspex at the mo lol

but i have a boot even with one seat down i still have a boot :sly:sly:D:D:D:lol

its got a stupid turbo timer tho and also got a silly parking sensor and a stupid immobilizer that if you try and start it with out using the fob you have to bump start the bloody thing

i also have working aircon :eek:

but seems the radio is a little pap lol
 
Best of luck with it Karl. Sure looks good in the pics and don't forget to get it dirty,otherwise everyone on here will be complaining:D:D
 
thats nice mate ,:thumb2 know i know i was ripped off on mine mate :( keep out of deep puddles :lol
 
If it's the original radio as imported then you'll probably need a frequency expander thingy:augie
Plenty on fleabay:thumbs
Turbo timer is usually a good thing, dont fiddle with it:cool:

you got a bighorn as well or are you talking about the mistrel as the mistrel seems to keep it value high not that i am sure why for some reason imports tend to be a little more than uk spec i know they have the extra bits and bobs but would have thought the import would be less

its programmable and you can turn it off which is good lol

the radio is one of them cheap nasty cd payers where yo have a dial for tuning radio and it wont lock onto stations lol it is an english one tho
 
I've had some Jap imports and they always had all the toys fitted instead of the stripped down euro tosh:rolleyes:
The main thing I found was they were completely rust free:D
 
wow mate, bargain for £699, any reaosn to believe it has hidden issues, to explain that rather splendid deal you got?? if those niggels are it, then youve got a real nice motor there mate. ive heard those particular engines are very good indeed...
 
yeah mate the mistral , mine looks like joan collins to your holly willourby :lol:lol. but its our first 4x4 so it can only get better :thumbs
 
niggles are heated rear window is missing a fuse i think and the window wiper dont work could be the same fuse ??

rear quarter glass need doing

1 door dont lock with central locking

aeiral isnt working but think thats wiring issue and a tear to the drivers seat
 
its pretty, i like . it'll do what you want (moving people)

looks like you only have little issues . just watch the fluids on a daily or 50 mile basis , until you know and trust the truck .

enjoy it! will you be sticking around ?:thumbs

ah but its illegal to have it on isnt it as you arnt supposed to leave the vehicle with engine running
 
No cos you've locked it up, not left the keys in the ignition and it cant get knocked into gear and set off. And by the time you've walked a few feet from your vehicle the engine cuts.
If its staying on for any longer then it just seeds the settings changing, the idea is it just allows your turbo to cool properly before switching the engine off... but then being a good motorist you already sit in it and wait 20 seconds before turning off dont you :rolleyes:

Or could that problem with your last turbo have been down to warped vanes??? :augie
 
Looks nice :thumbs

Now you can pi$$ off as you DONT own a NISSAN :augie :lol :lol :lol
 
i actually very nearly bought one of those when i thought sally was foofed .... thats before you lot stepped in :thumb2
