Hi, I realise this is an old thread, but could really use the tailgate and rear bumper if you still have them.

... I'd be happy to remove it and can put an old tailgate on, so you are not left with half a car.

If you choose to break it, I'd be interested in the tailgate and some other parts.

Have a look at this: http://vaguevagaries.blogspot.co.uk/2010/02/replacing-electromagnetic-clutch.html Remove the brush holders and take them to any electric motor specialist and they'll sort you out a replacement bit of carbon, which is a much cheaper option than visiting the dealer.

Hi, I've owned a couple of CVTs, although I'm no technician. Your first step should be to change the carbon brushes, which is not that hard and there is a thread on here somewhere showing you how. Is the CVT light on btw? The second problem is that the stepper motor itself might have packed...

Right, I've solved this. I was foolish enough to replace all the bulbs with ones that came out of a scrap cluster... After putting in half a dozen brand new bulbs it was fine. Oddly the old ones didn't look blown, though they clearly were. As an aside, the local Nissan dealer wanted £5.50 for...

Wouldn't this be the same fuse that runs the interior light circuit?

Hi all, I only has one bulb lighting the instrument panel, so I changed all of the bulbs I could find. Interestingly, the ones that came out didn't look blown. When I tried it out, there was no backlight at all! Also (and this might be co-incidence) the car was unusually hard to start. All of...

That's awesome, thank you. You're in Bracknell aren't you? I'll gladly come and collect it one evening - When would suit you?

Mate, that would be really helpful. I'd given up hope finding one. How much do you want for it?

Hello all, Like most of us on here, I'm a big fan of doing things the hard way, so I've decided to rebuild my N-CVT powder clutch. My question is: Does anyone know the exact quantity of electromagentic powder I need for the clutch? Once I have this info I'll let you know how I get on!

Hello all, The shift lever is very hard to move on my 1.0 Auto when the engine is running, but fine when it isn't... which leads me to think that the electromagnetic clutch has dropped some powder. Does anybody have the first faintest idea on how to resolve this? Any clues would be appreciated.

Wow, that took some finding! Fault resolved, car running - just need to put it back together now. Thanks for your help.

Unfortunately I have this problem with one of my CVT K11s. The stepper motor inside the 'box has gone meaning the cones cannot move freely, giving the impression that the car is stuck in one gear. This is a very common fault, but (unless anyone knows better) is terminal.

Sorry for yet another dumb newbie question, but I'm having trouble physically locating the NATS unit! I can find several relays, but nothing that is obviously a control module. I take it it is on the driver's side? Does it have anything written on it? Thanks,

Cheers Frank, will give it a go.

My car was registered late 1997 and the donor which I've been swapping bits from is a 1996 P-reg. Both are 1.0 Shape Autos.

Cheers Frank, I've now taken readings from everything I can think of and am coming to the conclusion that it must be an ECU fault. If I swap one out of the other car I take it I'll have to swap the ignition barrel as well... Are there any other problems with swapping the ECU? Thanks.

Yes, the starter is spinning the car over though. I'll get back outside and 'play' with it again once the weather has cooled a bit!

Sorry to kee hassling the group with this, but it is most frustrating! Is it possible the problem could be with the inhibitor switch? If so, do you know where this is located?
