Hi,have a 2013 V6 diesal, showing an average of 10.4 litres per 100k. dual battery, draws and 265/65/17 tires, canopy and TJM side steps. Cheers

Purchased the car new Feb 2013 Series 5 STX. 22,000 ks motor replaced. Load knocking noise from r-hand bank on cold start. On going issues with coolant usage since engine was replaced. Heater only works for about half an hour after start up and then goes cold, only way to get it working some...

Hi,my V9X has the same problem. Had not started the car for about 2 weeks, when i did it sounded like it had a bad miss with the engine shaking. Lasted for about 5 seconds and then righted itself. If the car is used on a daily basis you can feel is shake for about 1to2 seconds. This engine is...

Hi , had this same thing happen to my 550 last year on the way to the cape. about 100 ks south of Atherton Qld engine light came on. Took it to the Nissan Atherton who reset engine light and checked things over. 150 ks North of Atherton light came on again, pulled over and the overflow bottle...

Thanks for your reply Tony. Car went back to Nissan on a flat bed and they replaced the over flow bottle. Engine has been removed twice in this car and they said the bottle may have been damaged at some stage. Like the last comment, this car has always been back to Nissan. Cheers

Hi folks, long time since i posted. The white overflow tank on the STX 550, do these get brittle overtime as mine began leaking from where the rubber hose joins from underneath the tank and goes down and joins at the top of the radiator cap. The car is only 3 and a bit years old and done 65k...

Hi flat spot, had that issue in my 2009 STX d40 2.5 auto. I would put my foot on the pedal to move off and it would flat spot and then take off. Nissan could not come up with a solution. I now have a 2012 STX with the V6 diesal and guess what, it has developed the same issue. Started doing it at...

d40 Injectors Hi gent's, here's my story. 2009 auto and have done 56,000ks. Bought it new. by the time it had done 30,000ks i was noticing that just before i stopped at traffic lights etc that the car would shudder. Took it to the Nissan dealer as car was under warranty. Their reply was "No...

BravoBrad...i think the dealer was trying to get into your pocket. I had the Nissan steel bar fitted to my D40 and the springs and bonnet bit came as part of the deal.

Thanks to all for the input to this, much appreciated. I'll have a go at this on the weekend. Cheers:cheers!:

Thanks all, sounds like i could create a bigger headache for myself by trying to lower the lining. Bending and cracking the lining just don't appeal to me. Think i will leave well enough alone and turn up the radio. Cheers & Beers :cheers!:

Has anybody taken out the roof lining of a twin cab before, the wiring for the rear interior lite is laying on the the lining and rattles something bad when you close the doors or going over bumps. I have taken the lite out and when you move the wiring you can here it sitting on the lining. Love...

Hi all, went back to Nissan (no i did not stand on the counter) as the problem was getting worse, Nissan has now changed the injectors. Car now runs as smooth as silk and more get up and go, better than when i picked it up new. Question, injectors at 32 thousand k, is this normal, car has only...

Hi all...Tony, only being tongue in cheek about the counter bit, although one feels like doing it some time. Anyway back to business. Went back as the shuddering was becoming worse, explained what was happening again and i noticed a slight smile on his face, said to the service guy, you have...

Back again...Nissan replaced the bottom part of the air cleaner along with the s-bend that goes into the side wall. Has not made any difference to the shuddering problem. The problem seems to be getting worse when the car is cold and i can actualy feel it when the car is just sitting in drive...

Rang Nissan a couple of days ago to explain what was happening as the 40k service is some time off, they asked me to bring it into them today. They have rang back to say the car has not shown up any codes as to why it's doing what it's doing. They did say that the bottom of the air cleaner was...

Tony...it happens as well when i am coming to a stop in traffic and the car gets down to 2 to 3kph without my foot on the go pedal. Car has just had its 30k service ($295). Bit of a weird one this. I'll let Nissan know when the 40K service is due. By the way the car has a grumbling noise, like...

Hi....got stuck in the traffic this morning and had plenty of time to play. The shuddering is not there when the trans is in neutral and the car rolling. Tried increasing the revs slightly while in park, no difference as well. It only does it when you increase the revs slightly in drive or...

Hi all....the auto in this is shuddering when the car is in drive and just moving, best way to describe it is a shuddering like a manual clutch. Once it's doing about 2 to 3 kph it stops. More of an annoyance than anything. It's worse when the car is cold and also does it in reverse. Any ideas...
