Ive had mine from brand new in 2006 and has done it every time it was parked on a slope for any period of time, once you bring revs up it disappears, my understanding these lights only measure level not pressure so if your oil level is correct i wouldn't worry about it.

Yeah the engines are Renault rubbish

cracked head, the heads are made of cheese, slight over temp and they are knackered

When the SCV is replaced you have to do a fuel pump reset (pedal dance) that would solve that problem and perhaps a vacuum leak check all vacum hoses and MAP sensor on intercooler or Boost solenoid is cactus.........good luck

Thanks Tony, i will check that out

Hi Brains trust, i have a intermittent starting issue, interested to know if anyone has had similar or knows a fix? YD25 2005 on occasions I will glow to start, however i can hear the thermal fan kick in and engine will turn over but not fire, turn key to off try again thermal fan does not kick...

dunno..........like old tony said you obviosly got some kind of leak if you hear a hissing noise

MAP Sensor on the intercooler

Clutch fan faulty, thermal fan not working, or if in fact if it has overheated at one stage cracked head, the heads in these engines are made of cheese and the factory temp gauges are rubbish so slight movement on the gauge = good chance cracked head

Looks to me like a crease in the front panel, missing bolts on hot side of turbo pipe mount and a blowby leak and check your radiator caps on on the right way hard to tell from picture the radiator should have the blank cap and expansion tank should have spring loaded one

i dont believe the sensor measures pressure, if you parked on a slope for a while they tend to do that

auto fix mechanical in kelmscott

Those quotes included the parts however these cars are at best are worth 10k so to pay 4K for a chain I just can’t see that being commercially viable when mines due I probably send it to the wreckers

I got a quote from a place in Kelmscott everyone raves about however he wanted like over 4k from memory and doesnt use the YD25 kit and Osborne park Nissan quoted just under 4k if you have the parts already put up a request on auto guru they will send you thru quotes
