Re: Cam Belt Aggravation

A strange one really, my Almera was on a 54 plate, 99k never changed the pump, in fact I remember when they were Datsun's the water pumps were cast steel and had a weep/drain hole that let you know when they were on there way out, never changed a Datsun/Nissan pump in 20 odd years on Cherry 100A F2,...

Re: Cam Belt Aggravation

Will do, he said the water pump was not part of the kit, I said then I should have been told, I asked multiple times and was told yes, girl on the desk said £600 was cheap :shock: . Just had a look while its dry and my cam belt cover is very wobbly, I don't remember it being loose.

Re: Self Swap AGM from EFB in J11 Qashqai Without Reprogramming

No, sorry mine was EFB to EFB but If it was mine I would still just swap if I needed to but I turn off stop and start the minute I start the engine, I even re located the button to the top row to make it easier, as far as I'm aware its just slightly different technology in the batteries but just pho...

Re: Self Swap AGM from EFB in J11 Qashqai Without Reprogramming

When I changed my battery at two years old (not warrantied) I was told by one dealership it needed to be coded, only 1 year warranty and inflated price, another dealership said straight swap, I did and no problems, I would buy the battery and swap it out if its the same power. I moved the start stop...

Roof liner route for dashcam

Hi all,
Does anyone know if you can run a pull rod through the roof liner for a rear dash cam, either coax or power?, or a route at floor level, I want to keep clear of airbags.
Thanks

Hi, yes I know but dealers are saying 5 years, my book says 120 months, I don't come under extreme driving.
