Hi....welcome to the Forum If you have fitted a quality (branded) Stop/Start battery then it shouldn't be a problem there. I would imagine it does need programming back in but maybe worthwhile driving around for a while to let it settle down and relearn. Let us know how you get on with it

You certainly have a passion for all things Nissan by the sound of it .... thanks for sharing the pictures with us

Hi...welcome to the Forums Sounds like a worn CV joint that's clicking. Sorry, not sure about the windscreen seal though

Hi...welcome to the Forum Good to have you onboard and enjoyed watching the videos Cheers, Trevor

Hi....and welcome to the Forum This is the best place to post and hopefully we can help you sort the issues https://www.nissanownersclub.com/forums/forum/44-nissan-almera-tino-club/ Cheers, Trevor

They usually have rubber padding which compresses and grips....it shouldn't scratch the paintwork in normal operation....just ensure it is tight enough so it doesn't move around

It sounds normal as most modern engines run at a higher rpm which has the effect of reducing emissions...although sometimes the opposite effect on economy

Hi Jouri From memory it may be limited by a centrifugal weight which throws out at a predetermined rotational speed which then shorts out to earth to cut the spark until it drops back again...I'm sure they used this on Toyota around the same time so may be the same for the Nissan. Would be interesting to find out....only way is to strip the distributor down to investigate Cheers Trevor

I would go to a Timpsons shop as they can make and code a new key for you for very little cost.

Hi Pete...welcome to the Forum That's a fine looking truck and look forward to seeing the modifications as they occur. Good to have you onboard Cheers, Trevor

Hi Jouri....welcome to the Forum Fine Nissans you have there....in superb condition as well. Where did you manage to find them...were they in that condition or did you restore them? Good to have you onboard Cheers . Trevor

Hi Andy.....welcome to the Forum Feel free to post up some piccys of your Nissans on here. Good to have you onboard Cheers . Trevor

hi....welcome to the Forum May have difficulties getting through the MOT test with aftermarket HID lamps. Usually an upgrade of the Halogen bulbs improves things instantly and you could also fit some HID Day Running Lights (DRL) to further improve things. Cheers, Trevor

Usually, when folks talk classic old-school SUVs, the conversation includes models like the Willys Jeep, Land Rover Series 1, and the Toyota Land Cruiser. People forget, however, that Nissan had a pretty stellar vehicle that certainly deserves more attention than it’s garnered – the Patrol 4×4. Interestingly enough, this oft-forgotten SUV would go on to become what is now known as the Armada. Though they are few and far between, a 1969 year-model just recently hit the auction block.

Any digital rev counter should work and maybe the best bet would be to run one through the OBD socket which will output engine information which can be displayed. Here's a link to one that will work on a 3 cylinder https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Universal-12V-2-52mm-Digital-Rev-Counter-Tacho-Tachometer-Gauge-Red-LED-Light/122562255286?hash=item1c894799b6:g:mScAAOSw9~5ZTPQv

That's not a bad deal at all....sounds like they really want the repeat custom, which is definitely a positive.

Hi John....welcome to the Forum Could I ask why it will need an engine soon? Cheers, Trevor

Sounds like the pads have worn to the audible wear indicator (thin strip of metal that contacts the discs to alert you of the impending low pad friction lining) ....or pads are sticking in the carriers...need to remove, clean up, lube up (with copperslip or similar) and refit

Not good news then....such good trucks but let down by chassis corrosion

Misfuelling comes to mind....if not, then potential of internal engine damage but you would probably hear this as you are turning it over Let us know what you find out

Sorry, never heard of that make...hasn't made it to these shores yet

Very handy information to know..thanks for sharing it

It might be worth taking your old flywheel to a parts shop for them to match up the dimensions to see what will fit

Not entirely sure if this is the case as I thought most radios could be recoded. You used to be able to put a radio in the fridge overnight to clear the code in the good old days. I replaced the radio in mine with an aftermarket one and it worked great....had to buy an adapter to connect everything up but worked a treat....go to Halfords as they have most of the leads, etc in stock and also some great deals on aftermarket stereos

Great result...glad it didn't end up being anything more serious
