He once diagnosed faulty speed sensors on my car (not an x-trail,but am thinking he should know about them as well),sourced and replaced them. No Risk No Gain

Fuel consumption is approx 8.5 -9km /L urban,11km/L rural,more stable than the RAV,optional 2wd,Auto or Lock (4wd) mode,very very spacious and comfortable ..Especially if you are fortunate to get a SE+ model However,RAV4 has better handling and steering,the fuel consumption for the VVTi is excellent,but for the D-4 engine is more or less the same ..

Rank: Member Joined: 4/4/2007 Posts: 91		@ Kiriita A million thanks are in order... u just saved me 3mths worth of rent . I went to see the dude,had the car diagnosed and he sorted it ! for only 6k .. Apparently,only one sensor was faulty,so I called DT Dobie and have requested to have the diagnosis report .They got quite some explanation to do .. Kim says you give him a shout .. I should buy u coffee some time ... Knowledge is power but action gets things done... Knowledge is power , but action gets things done ...

There were a number of things that needed to be changed in the old engine (as per Nissan's 40K milleage) and because here in the UK the biggest garage cost is for labour,it was cheaper to fit new engine - nothing else There are more fools among buyers than among sellers
