Genuine fuel filter fitted, problem gone. Thanks guys

Thanks Tony will do those checks. Spoke to my mechanic and was told the fuel filter hat was recently changed was non genuine, he will swap over with Nissan one on Monday, he thinks that will be he cause fingers crossed.

This has just started happening to me, my wife drives car to work everyday, the other morning she said she started car it idled for a bit and then just cut out, she then had a little difficulty getting it started so pumped the accelerator pedal and eventually started, drives ok after that. Did...

Since I have changed mine it has never driven as well as it is now, must have been dodgy for a while

Bingo.... about $120.00 from Nizzbits good luck

Yes it does

My boost control solenoid crapped itself the other month. To check this you need to bypass the control solenoid, pull off the vacuum hose (from the sol) that comes from the other side of the engine and hook it straight on to the actuator (on top of turbo). give the engine a rev and see if the...

I went for Speedy "Victory" wheels, 17" gloss black. The wheels come as a blank stud so they machine to the unusual d40 stud pattern, can't remember what the offset was. http://wheelworx.com.au/stock_wheels/speedy/large/victory-black.jpg

We are doing the same! Had a Prado for 9 years, the only drama in that time was the starter motor solenoid bushes had to be changed, this is the last Nissan I will ever own, something seems to happen at least every 10K!! Will be going back to a Prado....

Sounds like your switches need replacing on the transfer case, exact same thing happened to mine, Nissan replaced them as the car was still under warranty, been working fine ever since

Ok, an update to my "no boost" situation. My new "boost control solenoid" came today (thank you very much Nizzbits!) and I now have my turbo working as normal again. Apparently this is a part that has a high failure rate. The thing feels like a rocket now after driving around 2 weeks without...

I did trim back the hose that connects on top of the round thing above the turbo as that was hardened and showed signs of cracking but didn't appear to be right through, will get onto replacing all hoses very soon. Can you define "limp mode"? Not sure if mine was going into limp mode or not. Do...

I removed my boost control solenoid when I got home, checked all three hoses for cracks, all looked pretty good, sprayed contact cleaner on the plug pins and gave the solenoid a bit of a thorough shake, re-fitted it and started the car. Had son accelerating while I checked the actuator? (the arm...

Just picked the car up from my local mechanic and it is the "boost control solenoid" that has failed, the issue that I have now is that Nissan says due to the high failure rate of the solenoids there are none in the country until at least May!! They tried other outlets and local 4wd wreckers but...
