RESULT! 🤗
Petrol Nissans go on forever with minimal maintenance HT. No rubber cambelt to change, just filters & fluids.
It's why they are so popular with our Asian cousins.

You'll be needing one of these for the rear parcel shelf 😉

If it's the 1.5 Diesel, it's actually a Renault engine & it does have a rubber cambelt.

I've got myself to bed after taking my new anti aggression calming sedation tablet..
I don't know if it's working but I need a piss and don't want to have the medication take effect whilst standing at the kazi...
I mean what if my cock falls off or something as a side effect 🤔 🦆

Your mate has done you a real favour there.
The engine should easily have another 100k miles left in it.
Bugger the cosmetics, they don't affect the way it drives.

The sensers are £70 my sons a mechanic has fitted all bar the first one which was done under warrantee main dealer price to PLUG IT TO THE TESTER AND FIT SENSER £150 I would never touch a NISSAN again with a disinfected barge pole.

I wouldn't touch a Renault with a barge pole. I once had a Renault Megane as a hire car, went around a bend that I was very familiar with at a normal speed and the fucking thing nearly had me in the hedge, worse handling car I've ever driven :poop: ...and I used to own an Austin Allegro! 😜

In my experience Renault's are shite.
What you have there Steve is a Renault with a Nissan badge.
I'll be amazed if @half ton has similar problems with his 1.5 petrol.
