I'm sure a Nissan dealer could interpret the VIN number for you to determine year of manufacture

Hi....welcome to the Club Not sure where to start looking for a manual to be honest I owned an Urvan many years ago and didn't have too many issues with it at all, except for corrosion of course. Not sure what the 4WD was derived from, Patrol possibly?

Good luck with your search, they're getting quite rare now

Hi Tim....welcome to the Club I really like the Murano, think they should have stuck with that shape for other model designs Feel free to jump in answering any questions (especially about Nissan parts) if you would like to? Good to have you onboard!

Welcome to the Club

Maybe worth locating one in a scrapyard (no matter what condition) to offer it up to see how different it actually is?

That's not good for a car of that age or mileage I do wonder if it is down to the fact that the oil has run low and caused the issue which then may be more than a head gasket.

🙂 I have no idea why it is like that but I'm sure the boffins in Nissan had their reasons, I too would also like to know if anyone has the answer?

You may notice some drop off on efficiency but then this is hard to calculate over time as it depends on weather, type of road being used (urban, motorway, etc), ambient temperatures, traffic and so many other factors that I would worry too much about it and maybe part with the car if you do notice some serious deterioration to the charge and output rate

I would try ebay as usually have these stickers on there https://www.ebay.co.uk/b/Vehicle-Parts-Accessories/131090/bn_1838652?mkcid=1&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&siteid=3&campid=5338906902&customid=&toolid=20012&mkevt=1

Tow Hitch Cover Its the cover which you would remove to attach the towing eye supplied with the car

no, but worth shopping around the dealers to see what there prices are, most dealers tend to differ in cost

Great to see someone using the correct method of diagnosis to determine an electrical fault Unfortunately, the remedy is pointing to the BCM which doesn't make it a pleasant pill to swallow with the cost of a new one. I do wonder if there is any water ingress to the BCM or indeed if the earth leads are in good condition throughout the vehicle (have come across similar issue with Nissan's before)?

Sounds like the linkage has dropped off internally but getting the door card off in-situ now thats whole other problem

Those reasons are legitimate ones for the Stop/Start not to operate. Just wondering if the system has defaulted to permanently switched off when the criteria is not met? Maybe the handbook shows the procedure for re-initiating it to operate once more

Usually PCV valves are located in the valve cover area

Was there anything that caused the initial lock-up? driving on a dirt track? anywhere a stop could have been introduced into the braking assembly?

I'm not sure about cars coming in from the Ukraine but imagine it is the same process for importing cars worldwide into the UK. If its over 10 years old it doesn't matter about certificates of conformity as a lot of the Japanese or US imports don't have them I once helped to import a Hummer H2 from Dubai into the UK and discovered that if it is over 10 years old the process is completely different to that of a younger vehicle. It just needed the headlamps converting, lighting from red to amber and an MOT, that was it....a very simple process. There is plenty of information on the DVLA website including the forms for registration that you need, beyond that nothing else was required

Could be that the audio (firmware) upgrade required Be worth talking to your local Nissan dealer considering the age of the car it should be covered for this sort of fault

Does the engine run or misfire? I would measure the resistance of the injectors and they should all be approximately 16ohms After that I would advise to check all power leads (12volt) and all earth leads from the battery all the way to the injectors Have come across fouled wiring (running across engine or gearbox and chaffed through) and connections that have caused this code before and not an issue with the injectors

Try this video fix

There should be one that will illuminate if the DPF needs regenerating but not usually one if it is naturally regenerating. You may notice the temperature increase and plumes of dark smoke from the exhaust if it is occurring

It looks like the rod to clamp down the jack to the floor (there should be a threaded point in the boot area that will accomodate this rod)

You could try these companies for SRS components: https://airbagteam.com/ https://www.airbagservice.co.uk/ or eBay where you might see one pop up

Its quite common if the transfer box has not been used in a long time as the linkages and mechanisms get sticky Best bet is to find as many opportunities (not difficult at this time of year) to use it and it will free up eventually
