Thats cool thanks, though I thought lloyds to lloyds was usually quicker?

You're not kidding the engine is only just in front of the rear axle, I bet it wont take much to get the front wheels up in the air :shock:

Paid by bank transfer :dance:

tbh I was expecting insurance to be alot higher than it was, I am only paying about £70 more than I was for my 2.0 Vectra

Rutland Water and Meridan suck balls for us Scottish members :tongue: , a direct line from Thurso to Poole is ~550 miles so halfway would be somewhere between Darlington and Penrith, but that isn't really fair either as N. Scotland is less heavily populated than S. england. Maybe someone could find out who the most northerly and southerly members are and then work out somewhere in between. Although it probably wont matter to me as unless its in the 1st three weeks in July I wont be here, as I work overseas.

Is this advisable for all auto's or just the J-spec ones?

Dosen't whistle though

Dosen't seem to smoke at idle or under acceleration as far as I can see. The temp gauge stays in the middle, but it wont boost, it does sound like a huge hair drier under acceleration though.

Ok I've performed a temporary bodge it and scarper type repair job on the det sensor harness and the car is running alot smoother now. However it still wont boost above 2-3 psi so I am preparing myself for the worst. Its booked in to RJM first thing monday so here`s hoping its something simple.

ok m8 thanks. So its not worth trying to sort the hicas out then?? Does it not make any real difference?

bump Is this the det sensor on my car anyone???

welcome m8 only been here a couple of days myself but everyone seems very helpful, have fun

Had a quick look at the det sensor harness today and found what i assume to be the det sensor on the top of the engine. I pulled back all the black electrical tape to discover only one wire coming out of the connector on the sensor, it looks like when it has been moved the end of the harness lead which is supposed to plug into the sensor has been removed and the wire has been soldered directly onto the pin in the sensor. However as there is only one wire going into the sensor I would assume that this is probably part of the problem. If the ECU can be frigged into thinking there is a working sensor there by putting a 1Mohm resistor in then my ECU will be seeing an open cct and throwing up the fault indication.

cool, I actually live in Methven so only just down the road

Thats coz man boobs arn't quite as good as the real thing ;) ;)

Thanks buddy I will give them a shout first thing tomorrow

I`ve tried AWD and Star and neither of the will take it on, I really don`t fancy taking it to the local Nissan dealer, can anyone think of anywhere else??????

thanks m8 will do

Hi m8 thanks for the info. Meeting up would be cool drop me a pm or email but basically I'm free anytime from now till the end of the month (on holiday).

good news, thanks m8

Right I've done some diagnostic tests. Engine won't boost above about 2-3psi Autobox came up clean. I tried the HICAS test about 6 times but couldn`t get it to start. ECU test came up with the dreaded det sensor. Priced them up from the local Nissan garage - £202 inc VAT (ouch) is this a normal sort of price? Also there is a black coloured relay in the boot which they tentatively identified as something to do with the HICAS which is clicking, I`ve not checked the earth yet as I cant find my m/m but could this be why I couldn`t do the HICAS test or is it just coincidence.

how hard were these to fit?

aaahh so its not just mine that has crap lights then......whew!

cheers m8ey

Hi folks, I have a sick tt auto :confused: and am after a specialist Zed person/garage to have a look, preferably near Perth, does anyone know where the best place to go is?
