Looks good Kenny.
Hope it has a snorkel and a desert filter kit as you always seem to bring one of the extremes to river!!!! Also hope it has a bigger speedometer so that you can see when your going over the limit.
All the best with your new Christmas pressie.
Cheers
Alan

I had one of those before I got my Toyota Hilux last year. We kept it on at work and at its current 245,000 miles it is starting to lose the will to live. I found mine really very capable indeed. It was a bit rattly and had some annoying squeaks and murmurs but was pretty damned stable. For a 4 wheel drive bus it really was very quick. Good buy and I am sure that it wont let you down www.silversalmon.co.uk

Hi Kenny
Will you be starting a Nissan users Forum sometime soon ? Hope you don't need to and that you have better luck with the new vehicle than you had with your IX35. All the best.
Mel

That's some Mileage Geoff! There used to be issues with the crankshaft bearings! Did yours suffer that problem? Kenny I really don't mean to frighten you with this, mine was after all an old model on a 57 Plate. I had issues with the paint on the sloping front of the roof peeling off. The Nissan Dealer said it was stone chips which it was not. They would not treat it as warranty work and tried to charge me a grand to put it right. I had a new gearbox at 20,000 miles cos it would not go into third gear too well. In fairness to Nissan they replaced this under warranty. I had problems with an EGR valve which cost me a fair bit of wedge. I had issues with wheel bearings and at £550.00 per wheel it was not cheap to fix. I lost an injector at £1750.00. I lost the electronic 4 wheel drive at £500.00. I went through about half a dozen leaf spring replacements at about £350.00 per pop. I think the problem is that Nissan charge like a wounded rhino for replacement parts. Having said this so do all car manufacturers and mine has finished up with more miles on it than space shuttle Atlantis. I have a mate who bought one of these and drove it into the ground. He likes them that much that he is now on his third and absolutely swears by them. Mine got the @rse kicked out of it dragging some fairly heavy control equipment to and from power stations about a dozen times per day. All in all I think that it was probably worth the money we paid for it. The 18,000 mile service intervals are an absolute God send. My Toyota has to go in every 10,000 miles which for me is about once a fortnight. www.silversalmon.co.uk

is that you parked in a disabled parking space ?? They're all the bloody same. They buy a bloody Chelsea tractor and then think they own the bloody road. It makes my bloody blood boil it really does. That box on the back looks a bit gay as well. When I had my Datsun Navara I always went out in it the way I go out dancing - COMMANDO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! www.silversalmon.co.uk

Cheeky boy! I will leave/transport all my fishing gear in an open pickup truck - aye right! You don't know the half of it. My Hilux has a locking roller cover on the back of it. Periodically it just goes on a mad un and unrolls itself. This happens even when locked. It first happened when I first got the van and was on a supermarket car park while I was in Morrisons buying bog rolls and I had 2 of my shotguns in the back. Imagine explaining it to the fuzz had they gone AWOL. I would have probably got 5 years stamping out number plates in the big house. www.silversalmon.co.uk

I once got absolutely blind stinking drunk and woke up some hours later. Looking around bleary eyed I thought I had died and gone to hell. It turned out I was just in Blackpool www.silversalmon.co.uk
