Hi Lee,

 

Sorry to hear about all this - think it'll be quite expensive to sort.

 

1. headlamp alignment - a simple bolt at the back of the headlight unit controls horizontal alignment. However, you'll likely find that the gearing used inside has cracked and non-functional. If this is the case buy yourself two sets of Tamiya diff gears (do a search - info galore) and fix both sides. I did this on mine and it's a 5 minute job (granted, my lights were out of the car).

2. That's a bush replacement - can't tell you how much ££ though

3. This is a big problem. As far as I know you can't get replacement brake lines from Nissan and I wouldn't trust getting them off a breaker. Only option here would be to have them fabricated which costs shed loads. :(

6. Didn't think this was an MOT item or is it a case of "if it's fitted it needs to work"? If so then it could be as simple as a disconnected hose underneath or defective nozzle. As far as I know they both work off the same pump so if one side works it's not the pump's fault. Think you can get replacement nozzles from Nissan at a fairly reasonable price (but don't quote me on that)

7. Take the car to a local automotive welding place and get a quote. You may find that they need to take out part of the interior to protect it from the heat generated by the welding - this is likely to bump the price up.

 

All in all you need to consider if it is worth doing all these repairs in light of the car's potential resale value. I know you don't want to hear this but it may be more economical to break the car and buy a better one from the proceeds.

 

Just my 2p worth mate - keep your chin up, it's not the end of the world.

 

Regards,

 

Dan

No 1. Adjust. easy.

No 2. Speak To Mike Feeney - These arent Cheap though. :(

No 3. Dont Know

sod it - scrap it :)

 

Bud, you sound like me - sounds like your pouring good after bad into that thing.

Id get a valuation from Ryan or Topless or someone like that and see if its worth repairing.

Mine was in better condition and ran better than yours and I decided to break mine rather than fix.

 

Up to you at end of day tho bud.

The thing is to break the car im not going to make a great deal off it as for a start the engine aint right.

secondly i would then need to pull out 4 or 5 grand to get another decent one.

Thirdly i dont really have the time to sit and take bits off the car :cry:

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

true!!! lol

i must admit i do say to myself when you post "oops what next"

BUT i do admire your upbeat spirit m8, as Danny says it aint the end of the world it's a car;)

 

and good to see you aint getting down over it, as ive' said before worrying and losing sleep over things aint gonna alter the problem the day after

as i said keep the spirit up m8, some people on here that had the luck you've had with that car would be getting the razor blades and ropes out ;)
