cheers bud, will have a dig about so if i can find anything loose anywhere, thanks

true, do you have any idea of where the ucu is located that it connects to or where i should trace back exactly ?

hi mate, thanks for a reply, i have checked the connections on back of audio unit, and on key barrell, nats unit, just dont see why it sometimes works fine and other times it just doesnt respond to any buttons pressed, i cant help think it is something to do with the key coding system in some...

welcome, looks very good, the sunshine looks great too, very enveous !!!

if they are the capless type of bulb they just pull out without turning.

thanks simcard, i will have a good look while i have it on the ramp on sat doing the service.

well its done 82k so far with a fsh, so never know it may have been done at some time previously, dont suppose theres any tell tale sign to see if its been done other than stripping bits off it?

thanks mate, bought it from the garage in the piccy too, amazing as most garages just sell crap always tatty cars and needing lots doing, but this was too good to believe really, so theres hope for small garages yet i suppose its done 82k with fsh, cost me 1400.00, seemed a good buy to me.

haha guess that the 03 simcard mentioned blew that idea then, dohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

im sure ive read somewhere the pre 02 models were prone to chain problems but later cars are improved reliability, mines a 04 so heres hoping then?

so that in mind, whats the usual mileage for failure and are we talking chain snapping/break or just rattling its head off ?

thanks tw33k, my thinking is reading about timing chain failure on some of these, best to keep the oil clean and changed regular to prevent any wear, i beleive the chain problem is mainly due to lack of oil changes .

ah positive constructive replies, dont u just welcome them, but not every part on every car the same will in time fail, weve had transfer boxes on 3.0 x type smash themselves to bits after 30k and others that have never failed, so there is never no set rule where mechanics are concerned.

photo of my new almera, been using it for a few days now and i have to say its a pleasure to drive, having the day off on friday to do a full detailed valet, i work for jaguar so will be in work doing it, and carry out a full service on sat as well. :-)

hi all, just wundering what grade of oil most people use in a 1.5 petrol almera 2004, i have bought a genuine service kit from nissan including the oil which is 10/40 grade, i imagine this is fine to use as supplied by nissan, but does anyone use a thinner grade at all, i work for jaguar and we...
