I did get rid of it after but it did have 160,000 on it.. The body work looked excellent because it had been sprayed a few times. Looking tired something was up with the ECM and then a small fire underneath.. Nah time to get rid so decided to scrap it I just didn't want any come backs.. and...

Decided to get rid of car and buy something different. :)

OMG big mistake buying this sack of you know what, the bloody thing has been a nightmare.. And now the dreaded Misfire. Anyway it will be sorted hopefully the end of this week, either that or I'll remove all the parts and scrap it. I really hate generally how most cars have gone today everything...

K11 was the best car Nissan ever built.. Have no idea what went wrong with the K12.. But mine has been a pig.. Not sure about the K13 but looks a nice car and pretty sure there are posts on here for that model. Yes those K11's do not hang about, I'd love to get another one but nothing close by...

Well glad you got yours sorted.. Yes Throttle body sounds the point.. Haha I had a missfire the otherday turned out after checking the spark plug was the problem! A garage which used to service this car stated spark plugs had been changed they were never touched!! Naughty naughty garage. I...

Did you get this noise sorted in the end, What was it? A noise would be very difficult to nail without hearing it, Could be anything Camshaft, Pinking.. who knows?

Hmm Interesting, It sounds like you got fault on power steering. (Obviously Bubba) I am sure someone here will provide a link on this website as there is a lot of posts on here on this very subject. If this is your fault you have this might turn out to be on the expensive side. I'm not saying...

Not sure if you managed to sell it yet but, no they do not hang about long, excellent for someone just passed test or want a first time car, or what I would use it for is just something to run about in and with seats down its got a large boot space, amazed what I got inside the one I had. I...

It probably is a doddle to do it and no disrespect to you but there are people out there, who might just go and blow themselves up, petrol vapour and such like especially messing around with the petrol tank.. I would not like to be responsible in someone killing themselves or somebody else in...

Could not be bothered to either use heat or drill them out tapped a new thread. It works and really no hassle.

Welcome to our cave :)

Auto transmission you say isn't as smooth.. Usually Piston seals in the clutch packs they go hard over time even if it's been well serviced Maybe worth trying to sell it on, or as you say scrap it.. Car looks pretty good body wise. Yes all OK for Sadiq Khan he probably drives a a Roller while...

As for the head gasket if it was gone just check the expansion tank (Radiator) see if there is any oil in there floating on top of water, I doubt its a head gasket But I've had them no over heating or loss of water but the gasket was blown accross the cylinder. It's likely to be a valve or...

Just as well it wasn't the main dealer they'd probably even charge you for the Coffee!
