Trevor

Geoffbm. Did you ever get to the bottom of this issue?

Did you ever get it into 4WD? Used to have issues with 4WDs years ago if not used and reluctant to engage any other range. Once shifted it would then work okay as long as it was shifted frequently to run through the range and not seize up

Any progress with this issue Bill Winstanley ?

Hi Tony.....did you manage to resolve this issue? Had the very same problem on a Renault van (same mechanics pretty much) and tried to vacuum the fluid and ended up pressure bleeding it and that sorted it

Sounds like earth straps are poor and need replacing or adding more to provide a route to earth for the current to return to the battery....seen it on Nissans before

Did you ever find the fault? Was it the fuel inertia cut-off switch tripped and needed resetting?

Hi...welcome to the Forum I have come across this with a Honda CR-V and it turned out to be the audio system settings. Not entirely sure where the settings are in the X-Trail but if you drill down into sound settings you may find it. Let us know how you get on with it

Hi Wisey254 ....welcome to the Forum All good here thanks, hope you and yours are staying well?

it could be many things, breakdown in the electrical/ignition system, throttle sensor, coolant sensor, air mass meter.....it really needs a scan when driving it and recording any instances that it may occur. You can use a device call a Data or Flight Recorded and review the info afterwards to see when it is occurring and what parameters changed at that time

Hi Ian....welcome to the Forum Sorry to hear about your wife. I'm sure there would be quite some interest in the NX100 as they are getting very rare now. Feel free to post up some photos of it if you wish

I get squealing from lots of different auxiliary belts I have fitted...all reputable makes until you see where it is made (PRC) and I put it down to lack of rubber and loaded with silicon based products. As a result, I constantly have to tighten the belts (2 different vehicles) as they also tend to stretch in use. Until I find a much better replacement belt then I guess its a case of nipping them up every so often

Good luck with your search....hope you find a good one!

Hi Adrian....welcome to the forum Sorry to hear about the Prairie, they were good cars in their day. I could crack a joke about 'every dog has its day' (prairie dog!) 🙂

Hi Heather....welcome to the forum The 1.0 litre engine is sufficient for most purposes all though it won't break any speed records I think you'll find it perfectly adequate for most journeys

Hi Dakikle welcome to the forum Glad to hear the Pathfinder is going well and still strong after all the years and miles....they definitely built them well then

Hi Jamie....welcome to the Forum That's a great deal on the Micra, got to ask through...does the roof leak at all? The Elgrand is a superb machine and shouldn't give you any issues. Good to have you onboard

More than likely to be the fuel interia cut off switch....something on the bulkhead in the engine bay that has a rubber cap on it and if you depress it to reset the switch then it should then start

Hi Gavin.....welcome to the Forum The Pathfinder is a superb vehicle and very well respected abroad where it is more popular than in the UK

Hi...welcome to the Forum

Hi....welcome to the Forum Go ahead...it may not be that dumb 🙂

You should be okay with main dealer servicing and fixed prices are attractive enough compared to local garage rates.

It looks like a vent pipe to atmosphere, although not sure where its coming from

I would check the earth straps as this sounds like it is struggling to find a good earth and shorting the alternators out. Check the earth leads from the battery first and then work your way through the engine and engine bay. You can always put additional earth straps into the vehicle to supplement what is already there to ensure the current is finding its way back to earth effectively

Hi.....welcome to the Forum They are out there but your search may be difficult to find good one Let us know when you find one

It can sometimes be a steep learning curve when it comes to modern cars but at least you found the issue and its not a serious, or expensive fault
