Extended factory warranty just paid for itself with a brand new factory built transmission and labour for my deductible of 200$. They quoted 3100$ for the transmission on it's own!

Milltown if it is injectors and or turbo you could be looking at 4 numbers. Having said that it could be any number of things an I've had them all - clogged fuel filter, low pressure in fuel pump, faulty injectors, clogged air intake etc.

Hoping its not too bad a hit, would sell it before getting that much work done to it. It drives fine and I've no problem driving it the way it is but if it were fixable I'll do it

I had the same problem. It was the fuel pump. £300 to fix. If it is the turbo you are talking big money.

Wouldn't certain relatives of mine be able to have a look for you before putting it into a garage?

The buzzing is the alarm.

The nothing is the immobilizer.

Wing mirror on a 99 Almera got clipped tonight when parked in the street, glass completely smashed but the casing and electronics are fine. Anyone know where I could pick one up in the Dublin (south) area?

Have you priced the replacement glass from your local Nissan dealer?  Easier and you'd be sure of getting the right glass.

Their parts department doesn't open until Monday but the guy in new sales reckons they'd have it. Breaker's yard in Dun Laoghaire will only sell me the full mirror and is looking fifty quid for it which is extortionate! On top of that, I don't have the tools with me in Dublin to fit the thing.

NCT is on the 22nd, so hoping to get it sorted asap!
