Well you've not been here for a while! We've had to pick on Nelson in your absence! (Only meant in jocularity of course Mr Mainfella).

Oh so it's my fault as well now...? :D :D

 

Damn, it's good to be back. :D ;)

hiya mate! one thing an import has that a UK doesn't is electric fold-in wing mirrors!

if you're not sure about the car-then walk away.

good luck.

duh-only just read the rest of the posts.

so you got it?

have fun!

I think a cambelt change every year is a tad excessive, but it is vital that its done regually, the book says 60K miles or 4 years, rubber belts do deteriorate, but Ajay is right a snapped belt is expensive!

 

Another thing for a 60K service are plugs.

 

Good luck, welcome to the happy world of debt :D

its the next thing on my list, the hicas light is staying on when cold or at low speed, i gathered from some research that its the power stearing fluid, i checked it and its quite low, so thats getting topped up. also i have a nasty leak on the left targa side were it joins the front a piller, nice wet cold leather is not good, so whats best advised, ive heard vaseline is a quick remedy or can new seals be purchased, and the rear screen seems to take an age to demist but as its a 12 year old car its not so bad, but performance wise im well chuffed, but i dont think the speedo is very accurate i went thru a speed trap were every one drops to 30 and it was only showing 20 on the jspec speedo with a mph sticker stuck on it.

Yep, just top up the Power steering cannister - it's Dexron ATF btw.

 

As for the leaking targa, I use halfords Rubber and plastic lubricant and that seems to work very well, yes seals are available - at a price!

 

You may find, as many have on here, that buying from the US is a lot cheaper than from you local Nissan dealer, check out: http://www.courtesyparts.com they do a complete 60K belt servise kit, the you could ask Andy Duff or JeffTT to fit it for you, I promise you a significant saving over Nissan prices.

 

 

Speedo: don't ask me the technicalities, but I think I'm right in saying that the KPM to MPH converter used the speed sensor pulses but only counts 1 in 3, hense it's close but not spot on (I prepare to be corrected :D)

 

Anyway, HTH

 

All the best
