@pirate,pole I'm not posting to help but to ask.
How are the x-trails? I know the resale is not great but is it a good car on fuel consumption and off-road?

There's a guy u could call - Kim @ 0721 923885 around the Kobil opposite Mater Hospital. He has that computerized diagnostics kit. 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.

Well having used a RAV for a year,there are pros and cons to the xtrail but overally the x-trail is a more practical and functional vehicle ..

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 ..

Thanks,i had the vehicle diagnosed at DT Dobie but they didn't have the speed sensors available and they cost ridiculously expensive : 52,200/= Ksh for both right and left!!
How much did it cost you to sort them?

Afro- I may have a buyer for you.

What price? mileage ? Condition ? YOM ? Has it been cleared - duty?

Why does it have a new engine?

Check your email as well.

@ 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 ...

@ Pirate,

Glad to have been of help and that you were sorted.

Will take you up on the coffee offer .... just as soon as the debate on the best coffee house is settled :)

@JKMWATHA,

Check your email for details. 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
