Re: Front carpet clips

I had this when I bought my car, obscene price for a bit of plastic, I think they use the same clips in a few Nissan models, I got the dealer to supply them free, try a scrap yard.

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

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...
