Subject : unable to change from 4H to 2H nissan terrano 2.7 sr 1998. Vehicle was generating a whiring noise fron n/s front wheel which only ceased when vehicle had come to a stop, accompanied by clunk. I took this to be the free running hubs trying to engage 4H and jumping out. I have selected the 4H drive system and the noise has stopped when driving. However I can not now engage the 2H gear as lever will not move forward to locate from the 4H position. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated Simon simon melsonby, north yorks, UK - Mon 08th February 2010 05:14pm (GMT)

Subject : Re : ignition problem Can you turn any of the lights on? Does anything electrical work? If not, your battery may have collapsed, or a fusible link may have gone. Try recharging the battery for a start, after you have checked it with a voltmeter. Hope this helps John Christchurch, NZ - Mon 08th February 2010 07:32am (GMT)

Subject : nissan terrano can someone tell me how to take the 4x4 gear shift stick knob off the top of the gear stick so i can remove the leather skirt from it as it has a rip in it and i need to put a new cover on it, its frickn pissn me off coz its not unscrewing off at all and im thinkn ill just snap the stick if i keep trying to force turn the thing off ? Help appreciated guys... should it be so tightly on that you cant unwind it aye..? horse Rotorua, rotorua, new zealand - Fri 29th January 2010 02:07am (GMT)

Subject : Re : nissan terrano I just unscrewed the knob by twisting it anti-clockwise. It has what looks like a nylon iseret in the knob. If it has been overtightened the insert may have split, therefore will not unwind. Pull up on the knob and twist anticlockwise, it should come off. If it doesn't but the knob still twists, drag it off while holding the stick with a pair of vice grips (pad the jaws). Hope this helps. John Christchurch, NZ - Fri 29th January 2010 02:24am (GMT)

Subject : Startup Revs surge I have a 1996 2.7td terrano. I had the Auto serviced and the water pump replaced and it came back to me with this problem. Startup and the revs shoot upto 1500 then settle back to idle(if i tap the accalerator when starting it dos'nt surge as high), and when i shift from drive to park sometimes the revs dip down to 400 then back to idle, i have changed the injector pump with no difference. No codes come up and sensors check out ok,The truck runs fine the rest of the time. Please help as nobody seems to know whats wrong. Michael Kemp Methven, Canterbury, New Zealand - Thu 28th January 2010 12:56am (GMT)

Subject : Re : Startup Revs surge Try the trick of running an earthing wire capable of taking at least 10 amps between a bolt on the engine itself and a bolt on the firewall. There seems to be a problem with earthing straps specifically the bolts corroding creating a bad earth. That is the easiest possible fix. Then you start looking at injection pumps etc. Hope this helps. John Christchurch, NZ - Thu 28th January 2010 03:03pm (GMT) Subject : Re : Re : Startup Revs surge I tried that and replaced the computer and injector pump, tested the TPS etc. Something is telling the computer/pump to do this, its a electrical problem but nobody can find out what is causing the problem Michael Kemp Methven, NZ - Thu 28th January 2010 10:16pm (GMT) Subject : Re : Startup Revs surge I wonder if when the auto was serviced the computer wiring plugs were disconnected/not reconnected properly? Might be worth squirting electrical contact cleaner into them, and any other electrical connectors/sensors which may have been disconnected in order to replace the water pump, e.g. alternotor, temperature sender wires. In fact, go back to the mechanic who did the work..he is responsible for ensuring that your vehicle works as well as, if not better than it did when you brought it to him. Hope this helps. John Christchurch, NZ - Fri 29th January 2010 02:18am (GMT) Subject : Re : Re : Startup Revs surge I have had it back to them more than once and they have spent hours trying to find the problem including changing the injector pump and testing sensors and everything is doing what it should when it should but it still revs Michael Kemp Methven, nz - Fri 29th January 2010 04:17am (GMT) Subject : Re : Re : Re : Startup Revs surge They also seem to think the problem has nothing to do with changing the water pump and the oil in the gearbox but it started fine before it went in, Michael Kemp Methven, nz - Fri 29th January 2010 04:20am (GMT)

Subject : draining engine Hi Can anyone advise how to totally drain the water out of a Nissen TD27 engine whilst still in situ bill allen dunedin, otago, nz - Tue 26th January 2010 10:21pm (GMT)

Subject : Re : draining engine Take the bottom hose off the radiator and all the water should drain out of the engine. If you have a manual heater control turn it to "hot", it should also drain the heater matrix. Otherwise disconnect one of the heater hoses at the front of the engine and blow through with compressed air to empty the heater matrix. It would make sense to reverse flush the radiator with clean high pressure water at this stage, to get rid of loose scale etc. If you have any doubts about the radiator, remove it and have it rodded through by a radiator shop. There is a genuine Nissan TD thermostat on TradeMe at the moment. Some say the genuine Nissan thermostat opens more than a pattern part service station replacement thermostat. Hope this helps.

Subject : Mistral 1995 turbo diesel 2.7 Hi I just boght my first 4x4...nissan mistral turbo diesel 2.7....and in my first long drive, I drove it to Hamilton and I notice a good raise on the temp when I got to the top of the Kaimais...and it was even worst on the way back home as the hill is much more curvie and takes longer to make it to the top....I even had to stop before the temp reaches the red mark.....There is water on the radiator...Can anyone help me christian kinzel Mount MAunganui, nz - Tue 26th January 2010 07:47am (GMT)

Subject : Re : Mistral 1995 turbo diesel 2.7 When you say there is water "on" the radiator, do you mean there is water in the radiator, or is it on the exterior i.e. it is leaking? There are genuine Nissan thermostats for sale on TradeMe. It is claimed by some that the genuine Nissan thermostats open further than the normal replacement ones you can buy at service stations and parts sellers. If you do not know what type of thermostat is in there, perhaps buy one of these and replace the thermostat. While you are doing this, drain and refill the coolant. If you have a leak in the radiator, get it fixed. The radiator is easy to remove. Replace the top and bottom hoses, and the radiator cap while you are at it. This should cure all problems except a water temperature guage or temperature sender problem. Hope this helps.

Where it meets the triangle-shaped rounded cover is the thermostat housing. Undo the three bolts and the thermostat just lifts out. Test by immersing in water and bring to the boil, it should be closed when cold, and wide open by boiling. Most likely it will be marked 82C which is when it should be opening. It's cheap enough to replace. John Christchurch, NZ - Fri 29th January 2010 02:34am (GMT)

Subject : paddling Hi i have SWB Terrano 1999 and have a problem both front wheelwells collect water the drivers side really badly you need wellies cant work out how the water is getting in also the rear floor is wet [not behind the seats]the luggage compartment this means i am constantly steamed up which is really annoying hope somebody can please help Thanks Miles miles oldham, lancs, UK - Sat 23rd January 2010 05:25pm (GMT)

Subject : Re : paddling When do the footwells fill up with water: when you are driving on wet roads; (look for holes in the floor, in the inner guards, blocked cabin air intake drains) when you let it stand outside overnight in the rain; (blocked cabin air intake drains, blocked sunroof drains especially if it is parked on a slope) or when you go through deep water? (holes in floor, leaking door seals) If you have anti freeze in the coolant (and you should have) does the cabin smell sickly sweet, I.E is the heater matrix leaking inside? The luggage compartment seems like door seals. Have you recently had frozen doors and ripped the rubbers seals when opening the door, or disturbed the seals in pulling open the doors? Recommended before winter is a spray of silicone on the seals which prevent water "sticking" to the rubber and icing doors shut.

My Dad has a '97 3 door and is having same problem, although his only affects passenger side well. He is putting a full newspaper under the mat every night to absorb the water. Only seems to come in when car is stationery, suggesting not being thrown up from the road. I will watch replies here with interest, as I have searched online and not come up with many solutions, although this type of leak does seem common in Terranos as well. Lesley - Cornwall, UK - Mon 26th February 2007 04:16pm (GMT) o Subject : Re : Re : Water Leak Terrano mkll lwb 1997. I had a leak coming through the screw fixings that hold down the rubber seal under the bonnet. By carefully removing the grey plastic panel below the windscreen wipers you will see a small cover panel that is directly above the blower Fan intake inside the front passanger footwell.use a small amount of silicone sealent around the gaskets and screws as they are refitted.that solved my leak. you could use a few strips of waterproof duct tape over the first few rubber seal fixing holes and around the end of the plastic facia panel next to the bonnet hinge and if this stops the water then you know what to do. hope this solves your leak..

Mal Liverpool, Merseyside, UK - Mon 21st April 2008 10:41am (GMT) * Subject : Re : Water Leak Slide the sunroof open. Stand up through the opening & look at the front of the channel corners. There is a drain hole each side. If these become blocked or the drain pipe inside the pillar splits the water will enter the car. It cured my flooding problem.

Subject : Re : ford maverick White smoke usually means water in the engine, usually in the fuel. Replace the fuel filter for a start.That is the simplest and least expensive "fix". Are you losing water from the cooling system? If so, is it an internal leak .e.g. blown head gasket (has the engine overheated recently?) Hope this helps.

Subject : Terrano Wipers and Washers Wife has a 2004 Nissan Terrano 3.0 SVE turbo diesel. All the following happened together. Last week. The front screen wiper (intermittent position) doesn't work when switched on, on the control unit on right of steering wheel. Plus the front windscreen sprayers stopped working (the sprayers for the headlights do still work, or at least one does). Plus the rear wiper stopped working completely and the rear windscreen sprayer stopped working completely. The front wipers do still work using the steering wheel side control unit, i.e. normal and fast wipe, and the single wipe using the up position. However in the current foul weather having no sprayers, and no rear wipe is a real nuisance/dangerous. What the problem? Fuse? Its odd that they all went at the same time.

Subject : Freewheel hubs My parents have got a 1996 SWB 2.7TD and the NS freewheel hub broke up causing a load of noise.A good replacement has been found, but before I fit it,i noticed a lot of movement in the splined driveshaft where it sits through the hub.If I wobble the splined end there is quite a lot of visible up and down movement in the CV joint and shaft.There is no lateral play.Is this normal? Should there be a circlip on the end of the driveshaft as there is a groove in it? Ian B Rugby, Warks, UK - Fri 15th January 2010 08:20pm (GMT)

Subject : Re : Freewheel hubs Have a look at the offside freewheel system, carefully disassembling it and noting the positions of the relevant pieces and their tensions and clearances. It mirrors the NS hub, so you will have to have the same bits in both sides. While you are there, repack the wheelbearings with grease. Have fun.

Subject : Just bought 2004 Nissan Terrano 2.7 TDi Great car but has a problem. When doing 30 MPH in second gear the engine is racing, when I cange up into 3rd gear the car vibrates as if the speed is to slow for that gear. As the speed limit is 30 MPH it is very difficult to drive, I am forever changing from 2nd to 3rd to stay whithin the speed limit. If I take the speed up to 35 MPH in 3rd the noise stops. Hard to describe the noise but it is a dronong vibration. Can anyone help. Kevan Davison - UK - Wed 13th January 2010 10:02pm (GMT)

Subject : Re : If the pitch of the noise changes with the change in road surface, the droning could be from the tyres, especially if they are mudgrips. If the noise stays the same, whatever the road surface, suspect the driveline, possibly universal joints in the rear propshaft, or the sliding joint. Give that a grease for a start. Hope this helps. John Christchurch, NZ - Thu 14th January 2010 04:46am (GMT) Subject : Re : Re : Thanks for the reply. Car is fitted with road tyres so don't think its that. Read stories on the net. about the clutch causing vibration and recomendation to fit a different clutch. Anyone heard of this? I will check drive shafts and joints tomorrow. Also just noticed oil underneath the car. Are Terranos noted for oil leaks? if so are they difficult to fix? KTD UK - Thu 14th January 2010 04:44pm (GMT) Subject : Re : Re : Re : Terranos are not known for oil leaks. The only leak I have ever found on mine was the oil/air return hose from the vacuum pump on the back of the alternator to the sump. I replaced the hose which had hardened with age, tightened up the securing clips, and now no more leaks. If you have a leak, find it and fix it. John Christchurch, NZ - Fri 15th January 2010 07:13am (GMT) Subject : Re : dronning this will more than likely be a collapsed rear gearbox cross member mounting. it should be a one piece heavy metalastic unit but they seperate allowing the back of the box to drop and any vibration transfers directly through the chassis.

Subject : Nissan Mistral 1998 Intermittent Starting and Rough Gear Changing Fault Hi, we have a 1998 Mistral which has had a series of intermittent problems since August 2009. Initially it had an intermittent starting fault, so the auto electrian replaced the HT lead to the glow plug rail, and replaced the starter/engine off solenoid. A couple of weeks later the problem was back. The auto electrian was unable to find the fault, so another mechanic replaced the relay for the start/stop signal. A few weeks later - same problem again with intermittent difficulty with starting (unable to get it started, would sometimes leave it for awhile then it would start ok), and also rough auto gear changes so a 3rd mechanic tried. Eventually, $700 later, they decided the stop/start relay had failed again (a brand new genuine Nissan part) so replaced it again. Few weeks later the engine would stop while driving, poor idle, and an engine warning light, so the fuel filter was replaced. Then, a couple of wks later the old original fault was back and the mechanic this time said it was the Crank Sensor relay; this was replaced; another $500. Now, it's happening again - won't start, rough gear changes, Power/Hold/AT switch lights up when we try to start it, dashboard fault indicator light comes on. We're at our wits end with it, so far it has cost us over $2000 (had to also get a new battery because the old one died with all the bad starts) and still not fixed. Has anyone any ideas? Two auto-electricians and two different mecanical repair places have not been able to sort it out despite hooking it up to all manner of expensive machinery and tracing wiring etc. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. Ange South Island, NZ - Thu 07th January 2010 10:10am (GMT)

Subject : Re : Nissan Mistral 1998 Intermittent Starting and Rough Gear Changing Fault Have you had a scan done on the computer to find out which faults are being indicated? It is possible a bad ground between the engine and the rest of the truck is interrupting the signals to the computer, and also causing it not to start. Try running a thick wire between a bolt on the engine block and a bolt on the firewall. If that cures the problems have a new ground strap made up by an auto sparky. Hope this helps John Christchurch, NZ - Sun 10th January 2010 03:37am (GMT) Subject : Re : Re : Nissan Mistral 1998 Intermittent Starting and Rough Gear Changing Fault Thanks for the advice.

Subject : Ford Maverick 2.7td braking issue Hi Ive been having a recent concern with braking. When the revs drop to idle, the handbrake warning light illuminates and braking is almost non-existant. Makes driving in traffic 'interesting'. Soon as the revs rise above idle, the handbrake warning light goes out and normal braking is resumed. Any thoughts would be appreciated. I don't know whether it is related but if I look into the enhine bay from the front and look to the left side of the engine there is a rubber tube that has obviously been cut at some point and blocked off with a screw(!?) looks like a vacuum pipe but I cant see an obvious place for where it would have connected Simon Thetford, Norfolk, UK - Sun 03rd January 2010 06:51pm (GMT)

Subject : nissan terrano 11 R3M td27t 1994 import wbyd21 is the water pump interchangable with any other td27t. got prices ranging from £38.00 to £150.00? mick boston, lincs, UK - Sun 27th December 2009 08:38pm (GMT)

Subject : Re : nissan terrano 11 R3M td27t 1994 import wbyd21 Water pumps should all be interchangeable, and it's up to the seller to ask whatever price they think they can get. Some pumps are pattern pieces not original equipment;bvut may still do a great job just like the original. In NZ, the pumps come complete with the viscous coupling to which you bolt the fan. Oh, check the fan for splits, that is another failure point, and if it splits completely it can carve a hole in your radiator. My pump needed replacement at 114,000km, I replaced it with a pattern part which had a stainless steel impeller just like the original,and I replaced my fan at 144,000km when I counted 7 splits at the hub, also with a pattern part.

Subject : terrano front brake fault in wet can someone help please ?terrano 2.7td,2002,problem is when in wet driving conditions when footbrake applied,foot brake pedal drops to floor,pulsating,wheel locks up and makes a shuddering noise,very dangerous,thought it might be abs problem,but no lights on dashboard when this happens to indicate this,the brakes work perfect in dry conditions,new front brake pads aswell,would really appreciate help,thanks mick wigan, england, UK - Fri 25th December 2009 01:27pm (GMT)

Subject : Re : terrano front brake fault in wet Dear Wigan, the Terrano has disk brakes all round. I have just been on holiday and drove through a river each day, and got the same horrible shuddering when braking for the first time after drowning the brakes. It feels like the pedal is going to the floor, there is so little braking.But it does eventually stop. The solution is to apply the brakes lightly, then increasingly heavily to wipe the water off the disks and allow the pads to contact the drying disks. If you drive in absolute downpours, you may want to do this every so often just to keep the brakes as dry as possible, without overdoing it. Hope this helps. John Christchurch, NZ - Fri 01st January 2010 01:34pm (GMT) Subject : Re : terrano front brake fault in wet Mick, just re read your query and clicked that you have ABS. It sounds like you need a brake expert pretty quickly, and you are right, what you describe is dangerous. My Terrano does not have ABS, and acts as above after crossing rivers. But not just driving on a wet road. Good luck, but get it fixed before it kills you..or someone else. John Christchurch, NZ - Thu 14th January 2010 04:54am (GMT) Subject : Re : Re : terrano front brake fault in wet first of all thanks for your reply,fixed them at last,connected fault code reader to data connection and no faults stored so it wasnt abs fault after all,was talking to a brake expert and he said hed had this problem loads of times before,he told me it was rear brake problem,shoes would need replacing,had replaced pads previous as discs on front,turned out he was spot on,replaced shoes and bingo,perfect,just shows brakes worked great in dry and past brake test for mot,but that little unbalance on brakes was lethal in wet conditions,hope this helps somebody else if they ever get problem mick wigan, england, UK - Wed 27th January 2010 07:54pm (GMT)

Any ideas anyone?? is it oil from the transfer box/diff? and what should i do??? dave newcastle, UK - Sun 20th December 2009 04:46pm (GMT)

Subject : Re : '95 NISSAN MISTRAL Dave, I take it you opened the bonnet and saw the smoke curling up on the left side of the engine. I presume you means the left side as you look forward from the driver's seat? Diff oil has a high sulphur content and smells really badly if it burns (like rotten eggs). Check the seals on the front drive shafts at the diff, leaking oil can be thrown up onto the exhaust and burn. It points more and more towards a leak from the diff, stuffed seal/torn boot and may be very obvious. What do you do? Best thing is to thoroughly check and clean the whole area of the diff, axles, drive shaft boots, sump, etc. and go for another drive to see what is leaking and where. CHECK THE LEVEL IN THE FRONT DIFF FIRST. Hope this helps. John Christchurch, NZ - Fri 01st January 2010 01:58pm (GMT) Subject : Re : Re : '95 NISSAN MISTRAL Yes the lhs from drivers seat! RHD model!

If any of the bulbs are quite black or have a silvery coating on the inside, replace them as they are nearing the end of their lives. It wouldn't hurt to do the parking lights at the same time as they suffer from water and dust ingress, too.

Subject : Re : nissan mistral wont start! I would say by now that you have replaced the battery and probably the alternator as well. The two are usually linked..the alternator gives up the ghost, the battery flattens..fit a new battery..things OK for a couple of days..then battery flattens again. Before replacing a battery, have an auto electrician check the alternator's performance. The alternator, if faulty, is just as likely to damage a new battery as the old one. I can make my battery last 7 plus years. Only fill with distilled water, and check it regularly, especially in Summer or in hot climates. Lack of water kills batteries faster than almost anything else, except a bad alternator. Hope this helps. John Christchurch, NZ - Fri 01st January 2010 02:20pm (GMT)

Subject : Re : panel lights Buy a cheap multi-meter. Set it on the 20 volt scale. Clamp the black probe to earth on a metal part of the vehicle.(to earth) Turn the ignition to "ACC" and start probing the top and bottom of each of the fuses in the fusebox with the red probe. There is a small exposed portion on the fuse head, top and bottom, just for this purpose. You will find one that doesn't have 12 volts running through it i.e. the bottom of the fuse has 12v, the top will have "0" . This is the blown fuse. Replace this fuse with one of the correct rating. The rating should be displayed on the lid of the fusebox. Even if you can't read Japanese, you can see the rating in amps there. Hope this helps.

Vehicle runs fine then all of a sudden, especially when placing into drive or putting power steering on full lock, engine revs do not step up and engine stalls, engine management light comes on, car still runs fairly well even if a little "smoky". Then after an hour or two, or sometimes a few days the light goes out and wer'e back to normal. But it can stall at a busy traffic light junction, and with an auto this isn't fun. Any Ideas? Regards, Bernard Clayton. Bernard Clayton Leigh-on-Sea, Essex, UK - Tue 17th November 2009 12:17am (GMT)

Subject : Re : Engine Stalling Crazy as it sounds, the earth strap between the engine and the body,may need to be replaced or supplemented by another. In the US they had problems with corrosion affecting the earthing points on the body. Since your computer needs a certain amount of current return via earth strap from the engine to the body to make the revs rise in hard lock situations, that would be my first thought. Lack of this earthing is affecting the computer, which then has to "relearn" settings, which is why after a couple of days all is again well. Fix a 10amp rated cable from a bolt on the engine to a bright clean earth point under a bolt on the firewall and see if that makes any difference. This temporary fix doesn't have to look good, but you could get a professional to make a proper one if this solves the problem. If this doesn't help, you may have to have a diagnosis done with a computer scanner; see previous posts. Hope this helps.

Subject : Re : Heater Matrix If your friendly flusher did not use distilled water when refilling the radiator system, then for a short while anyway the ordinary water will be having the oxygen thrashed out of it while it circulates. I usually have to top up about a litre of water/antifreeze after the first 50km, (I use ordinary water,too and I check level in radiator neck, and overflow bottle) Once that has ben done I have found it "uses" no coolant for the next year or so! That hissing sound is air in the heater matrix. Turn your heater on full, run it for 50km or so, and the hissing should disappear as the air gets thrashed out by the circulation. If there is no overwhelming smell of coolant or wet carpets, then there is no leak. And you really, really don't want to have to take out the heater core.... Hope this helps.

John Christchurch, NZ - Tue 17th November 2009 12:18pm (GMT) Subject : Re : Hi, I have the same vehicle and have experienced 2 problems. If the engine is actually cutting out it is most probably the crank position sensor (common fault). It bolts to the front of the engine and is easy to have checked by an auto sparky using the on board computer. (Fault code) If it is surging at idle, it is the injection pump idle valve sticking due to the low sulpher diesel not having enough lubricant for the Zexel (Bosch) fuel pump. You can either pay $2500 - $3000 to get the pump recond, or add half a cup of 2 stroke oil to every tank to keep the pump lubed (like me). Good luck.

Subject : funny vibration noise hi seem to be having a bit of trouble with my 03 nissan terrano sport, not sure how long its been going on for, but having just noticed it, whenever i get to 50 mph my car sounds as if everything is vibrating and gets very noisy but the steering wheel does vibrate at all, as soon as past 50 mph everything goes quiet again, any ideas and if its a major thing as i tow my horse trailer alot with this car.

They can be replaced with polyurethane bushes which resist twisting better, and wear better as well. One last thing, if you have an automatic gearbox, I hope you have installed an auxilliary transmission cooler in line with the original cooler in the bottom of the radiator to cool the auto down whilst towing. This will save lots of money in not having to rebuild the auto through overheating. Hope this helps. John Christchurch, NZ - Sun 03rd January 2010 06:39am (GMT)

Subject : not sure whats its called? hi typical women here, but on my nissan terrano under the wheelarch i noticed something was hanging off, it looks like a rubber mat type thing that is stuck to wheelarch to possibly protect engine from mud and stuff being thrown up from road, what is it called as obviously need to get it sorted and dont want to come across as a idiot when i have to ask for the said part. sally cotter southampton, hampshire, UK - Sat 31st October 2009 11:49am (GMT)

Subject : Re : not sure whats its called? Sally, Those rubber mat type things are exactly what you said they were, there to stop mud and water being splashed up into the engine compartment. You should find that there are holes in them, and plastic pegs which push into the chassis and body to hold them in place. Just reattach the rubber mats to the pegs, or remove and use the old mats as templates for new ones, because the chances of finding a set of these at the dealers are as likely as a snowball in hell. It's nothing high tech, just sheet rubber cut to size. Hope this helps. John Christchurch, NZ - Sat 31st October 2009 08:55pm (GMT)

Subject : nissan terrano2.7 tdi There is a loud whirring noise whilst driving and it goes away when you slow down to a stop this is followed by a loud thunk then all is well. I have asked mechanics & they say they need to hear it but it is intermitent bernard kerr dalry, ayrshire, UK - Thu 29th October 2009 09:16am (GMT)

Subject : Re : nissan terrano2.7 tdi When does this noise and clunk occur? Is it when the engine is cold, it's raining, the road is rough, the road is smooth, or only on Mondays? Does it happen after you have used 4 wheel drive? Do you disengage 4WD properly on a loose surface, and move the vehicle 3 to 4 metres in reverse in a straight line after disengaging 4wd? When you move forward, does the vehicle pull to one side or the other, until the whir and clunk at your next stop (locking hubs not working properly) Where does the "whir" come from, the front, the engine, the rear, the axle What speeds does it happen, after hard acceleration,or steady speed, or coasting on low throttle? Where does the "clunk" come from: front or back, left or right and how soon after you stop? Your mechanic needs this info to diagnose the problem as well, so keep a log of these events covering all these points; it may make his crystal ball work. Hope this helps John Christchurch, NZ - Thu 29th October 2009 01:32pm (GMT) Subject : Re : Re : nissan terrano2.7 tdi Thanks for replying! The noise comes at various times whilst driving, not at start and at various speeds, I rarely accelerate hard but it can occur then also, average speed when it occurs is 30 but can also be at 50. It happens on the flat and on hills. noise sounds like the middle front, I thought the gearbox, I have put it into neutral and coasted to see if noise would stop but it did not. The car drives normally there is noting untoward apart from the noise. b kerr dalry, ayrshire, UK - Fri 30th October 2009 09:52am (GMT) Subject : Re : Re : nissan terrano2.7 tdi Sorry forgot to add. 4wd has not been used when this has occured.

Does the noise increase and decrease with the speed of the vehicle, rather than the speed of the engine? If so, it is somewhere in the drive line. Check the fluid levels in all the gearboxes, diffs etc as a start, and while you are under the vehicle, look for any loose objects/fittings on the drive line or touching it. Sometimes a piece of plastic bag or similar can wrap round a driveshaft, and sometimes a shopping bag can wrap round a CV joint and rip the rubber cover to bits. Hope this helps. John Christchurch, NZ - Fri 30th October 2009 01:17pm (GMT) Subject : Re : Re : Re : Re : nissan terrano2.7 tdi Thanks John. I will check the fluids etc., But that does not explain that it only occurs sometimes and when I slow to amost a stop it clunks as if it was forcing something into position, which eliminates the noise. b kerr dalry, ayrshire, UK - Mon 02nd November 2009 01:34pm (GMT)

Subject : Nissan Terrano 2 Cooling Fan Hi, I have a '97 Terrano 2, 2.7TD.

Thanks Paul - Aus - Sat 24th October 2009 05:03am (GMT)

Subject : Re : Nissan Terrano 2 Cooling Fan That small fan in front of the radiator is mainly for the air conditioning radiator, to force air through it at low vehicle speeds, such as when stopped at traffic lights, with the air con on. It would have a small secondary effect on the main radiator, but you would have to check your coolant mixture (antifreeze/water, your radiator cap (is it old, worn, leaking,losing pressure?) your thermostat (Old, stuck, corroded, not working properly?) your radiator's internal condition (tubes blocked) and your water hoses (old, soft bottom hose collapsing?) the cleanlinesss of the outside of the radiator's surface and last but definitely not least, your thermostatic fan coupling (is it working as it should?) There may also be a misreading of the temperature guage on the dash? Read previous submissions, it will give you a clue what might be happening.

Subject : nissan hardbody help please where do i find a air filter , oil filter and it has two fuel filters for a 2004 hardbody 3000cc diesel andy bromsgrove, worcestershire, UK - Thu 22nd October 2009 05:13pm (GMT)

Subject : Re : nissan hardbody You either go to a Nissan dealer and ask him, or you go to a parts shop for the DIY trade (I think they are called "factors" in the UK.) Try and get decent "brand name" filters because if you put filters on your vehicle yourself, you only have yourself to blame if you do it wrong. That said, I have been changing filters for 30 years, and only one blew out through the seal (cheap no name oil filter) The main thing is that they do not have to be screwed more than hand tight. To torque them home with a strap wrench or any tool can distort the rubber/nitrile seal, causing a weak spot which lets fluid out (or air in) Read the instructions about wetting the seal with the same fluid it is going to be containing. I find it beneficial to fill the filter with whatever will normally be in it before screwing on hand tight. This means almost instant fuel pressure or oil pressure on start up or priming. This technique only applies if your filters can be screwed into place vertically.

The equivalent oil filter made for REPCO, a motor factor in NZ and Australia,is labeled RZ416. I do not know where that is made. An alternative is to get a remote filter adapter, attach it and use a more common filter with an anti drain valve. Persons involved in car racing/drag racing/drifting/hot rodding use these, so that is a start place for enquiries. Look on the web, you will find manufacturers specifications for filters and adapters. Don't give up, if necessary you can replace the fuel filters with a RACOR/Lucas or CAV fitting and locally available filters. Hope this helps.

I would say that by now you will have gotten that filter out anyway, but the easiest way I have found is to do it when the engine is cold, as the turbo gives a nasty burn (don't ask how I know) Unless someone has put an extra long filter on (and that has happened to me and I was not a happy chappy) the secret is to go through the left front wheel well (easier if you remove the FL wheel) and you drop the filter downwards and rearwards then up and out towards you. It's not easy,eh? But it saves an awful lot of money doing it yourself.

Trace the tubes down to the transmission.Does one tube go from the transmission to the extra radiator, and then into the bottom of the radiator, and on the opposite end of the bottom tank of the radiator, exit back to the transmission? If so this third radiator is an extra one in case you do some towing. You can always replace this extra cooler with a larger one, or plumb another one into the circuit as well.

Subject : Re : nissan Buy the correct new fuel filter, make sure it has an extra O ring in the box with the filter. Passenger side at rear of engine compartment, look for same filter, which will be in a bracket attached to a priming pump with a black knob on top of it. There are two things coming from the bottom part of the filter, one a rubber tube, the other is the electrical connection for the "water in fuel" sensor. Follow this wire until you get to the first connector, and pull connector apart. At the halfway mark of this connector is a small tab which you press inwards to allow the connection to be be pulled apart. Unscrew the two bolts holding the filter and priming pump to their mounting bracket. Lift pump and fitlter unti you can unscrew the filter. Tip filter into container to let fuel drain, unscrew the drain valve from bottom of filter.Remove old O ring from drain valve Place new O ring from box on drain valve, attach drain valve to new filter. Turn upright and fill filter with new clean diesel. Smear a lick of diesel on rubber seal, screw new filter onto pump body. Bolt to brackets. Now comes the boring bit. Pump the knob down and release, about 150 times until it is impossible to depress the priming pump knob any more. Start engine a keep revs at around 2,000 for about 1 minute. If there is any air in the system and the engine splutters, keeping it at that 2,000rpm usually allows the engine to overcome the momentary stutter. Drop bonnet and go for a 5 mile run, cell phone in pocket just in case. Hasn't failed me yet. Hope this helps John Christchurch, NZ - Sat 03rd October 2009 07:18am (GMT)

As a last resort, turn on your heater to stage 4 fan, it acts like another radiator and usually lowers the temperature quite a bit. I presume if you have an auto box, you have fitted a reasonable sized auxiliary cooler? This relieves some of the strain on the radiator as well, but use the circuit trans into aux cooler and back into bottom of radiator then back to auto as even Auckland gets chilly in winter, and autos need to be a certain temperature to work well. You can't do much to take the strain of a manual, except make sure the oil is of good quality and at the right level. Other than porters, how was the rest of the South Island?

Also we run synthetic oil, seems great stuff.One of the problems with an older auto box seems to be that the temp sensors get out of calibration.

Barrie Aston Telford, Shropshire, UK - Mon 17th August 2009 07:47pm (GMT)

Subject : Re : Nissan Terrano 2.7 intercooler Barrie, With which vehicle are you comparing this "lack of power" of the Terrano? The Terrano is a truck, not a sports car. Have you or your wife noticed a difference in performance since you bought the vehicle? Have you tried out another Terrano to see if it is a better performer? Is your wife unhappy with the power, does she feel endangered in any way? If you have a sporty saloon that you are used to driving, then the Terrano will feel slower. I'd like to see your sporty saloon tow a loaded trailer, or caravan, or plow through mud and water like the Terrano can. As for hills, how steep are they? Try going up a steep slippery slope in your car at any speed, and you'll be left behind (or in the ditch) by the Terrano in 4WD. If the wife is not complaining, why be worried? When she asks for a Range Rover or Disco, that's the time to get worried! Try life in the slower lane, relax, get there rested. Hope this helps. John Christchurch, NZ - Tue 18th August 2009 04:28am (GMT) Subject : Re : Re : Nissan Terrano 2.7 intercooler Dear John. Thank you for your comments. The vehicle has always been on the slow side but recently there has been a reduction in acceleration even on slight gradent's. You can put the pedal to the floor and the truck struggles to pull. The air filter needs to be replaced and this may help. I ran the the vehicle without the air filter and the problem was much worse I think that it may be best to replace both the Map sensor and the filter as a starting point to keep the costs down and see what improvements are made to the perfomance of the vehicle and go on from that point.

Barrie Aston Telford, Shropshire, UK - Tue 18th August 2009 09:35pm (GMT) Subject : Re : Re : Re : Nissan Terrano 2.7 intercooler Barrie, I agree. When you took the airfilter out, you increased the air supply. If there was insufficient fuel, that would make the situation worse with either a stuffed MAF sensor, or a lack of fuel. Filters first, then MAF. Also look at the previous postings and the tune-ups (mostly routine maintenance) that need to be done, especially the fuel filter and the gauze under the banjo nut on the fuel line at the injector pump. If it won't run to damn near the red line under load, suspect lack of fuel.

Subject : Nissan Mistral MAF Hi all, Quick Q about a Mistral. Whereabouts will I find the MAF on a Mistral? I have looked all around the engine bay in places you wouldnt expect to find one as well as the places where you would expect to find one. I have nothing resembling a Terrano MAF thats for sure, at least going by pictures on them on Ebay. There is nothing between the air filter and the air intake on the turbo that resembles one any way. car is a 95 Mistral 2.7TD imported from japan and its the 3 door SWB automatic. I'm sure there is a problem with the MAF as it is displaying all of the usual symptoms. Those being, poor acceleration and masses of blue smoke. Just incase I will give a better description as to how the engine behaves from cold start, bearing in mind that cold or warm it still runs just the same. Ok, slow to start but I think the glow plugs are past their prime. Once running no problems with idle. Moving away in AT, she accelerates but rather than go thru the gears she seems to hangs in 1st and second and thrash without changes to third and onwards. This also causes plenty of blue smoke. Ive found its better to keep the gearbox selector in the Hold position as this prevents over revs but this makes her slower still. Going up hills is a nightmage, a cyclist could over take me! If I keep it in hold, it jusrt creeps up a hill, if I select AT she thrashes and struggles even more. So in the eyes of all the experts ;) am I right, is this the MAF and if it is, where the heck is it on a Mistral? ? ? Cheers folks Steve Bedford, Beds, UK - Sat 01st August 2009 02:33pm (GMT)

Subject : Re : Nissan Mistral MAF Steve, Read previous postings below, and it will give you a clue. I would suspect the gearbox needs a filter and fluid change at a minimum.

Subject : Nissan Mistral Loss of power Hi all, I have a Nissan Mistral on an N plate (95) which I shipped over from Japan in 2003. The car has done me proud and I have racked up an additional 140,000 miles in her making her total mileage 214,000 miles now and she still runs! Anyway, over the last few months she has been steadily deteriorating on the power front. These are the symptoms. Initially power is in short supply from the moment she starts and she is a little slow to start sometimes but that is almost certainly down to the glow plugs. Once started..... 1: Very slow when you come to a hill, distinct lack of pull going up the hill and she wants to rev until blue smoke bellows out of the exhaust. The only way to stop it is to keep pulling back on the gas. 2: On level ground, she can still get up to 75/80mph but it takes a while. Once the power has peaked it then seems to miss. Not miss fire but miss if you catch my drift, its almost as if it keeps spontaneously decelerates and you can really feel it through the car. At present I have to switch my transmission to hold otherwise she just wants to rev, make smoke but no power. I dare not try and pull out a bit sharp because all it will do is make a load of noise and crawl into the lane causing any oncoming motorist to make shaking the beans type hand gestures towards me. I have read a lot about an air mass meter being the most likely culprit but I cant seem to find one under the bonnet of my Mistral anywhere or anything that even resembles it. This being the case, does anyone have any ideas as to what the prob might be and if it is an air mass meter at fault, where the hell is it?!?!?!? Cheers, Chris Chris - UK - Fri 03rd July 2009 05:28pm (GMT)

Subject : Re : Nissan Mistral Loss of power Chris, you have had a fabulous run from the Mistral, and there is a lot further left in the old girl yet. BUT, you may have to spend some dosh. Before you see a good diesel expert, read the previous posts, and carry out the following: air filter change, check for collapsing/soft air intake hoses or blockages in the air intake system: oil change, oil filter change, fuel filter replacement, cleaning of the gauze filter at the injector pump. If you suspect the glow plugs,when you go to the expert, ask them to check the current drain and relays. If your vehicle has a MAF sensor, it will be between the air filter and the intake of the turbo,so look for something black and plastic in this area, with a plug on the side and electrical wires coming out of it. Frankly, if you can't find that, either you don't have a MAF sensor, or you need to see an expert. He may recommend an injector clean and reset as well, and can remove the glowplugs and check each one at the same time. Regards and good luck.

Melissa Swindon, Wilts, UK - Sun 05th July 2009 06:18pm (GMT) Subject : Re : Re : Nissan Mistral Loss of power "Women can do anything" was a theme used in TV adverts in NZ to encourage females to take on careers that might otherwise be thought to be too "masculine" for consideration. Re your clutch problem, I would hazard a guess that the fluid is leaking from somewhere and at a rapid rate. Have you checked the slave cylinder, the one near the clutch housing? If it leaks there will be obvious signs of leaking fluid, especially behind that rubber boot over the end. Usually, the dirt,grit and water which sprays up under the vehicle gets into the cylinder via the perishing rubber boot. This causes corrosion to the metal, which causes wear on the rubber seals on the piston,which then leaks fluid. If you do a fair bit of 4WDing, go through mud, rivers , or drive on salt laden roads, this is almost inevitable after 14 years. Take the cylinder off, and have a look at the bore. There are three ways of tackling the corrosion: if it is slight, smooth it by honing the bore, get a new seal kit and reassemble with lots of rubber grease between the piston and the rubber boot at the end. Too much honing means oversize seals which may be difficult to find. Or buy a replacement cylinder. The original one lasted for 14 years, are you going to keep it for 14 more? Or drill out and sleeve the bore with a stainless steel sleeve so that the original seals can be used, but the bore will never again corrode. Then you can 4WD as much as you like.

It is a sealed unit, you can't see inside it, you can't scrape it out, and anything you put through it to "clean" it is likely to be injurious to the filter, let alone the injector pump, rails or injectors. Spend the money and buy a new filter, put it on, pump it to fill it with fuel, then run the engine. Best of luck... John Christchurch, NZ - Tue 30th June 2009 10:34am (GMT)

Subject : Terrano Got a 97 Terrano with QD 32 td and have juts noticed that it wont rev above 3500 rpm . Went to peass a car , planted boot but nothing happened . when you rev the engine with no load still only go to 3500 rpm . Tried it in every gear and did the same . Fuel filter ? or air flow sensor AGAIN !!!!. IT seems to pull fine up to those revs and then its like a govener cuts in . Any help would be greatfull .

Subject : Re : Terrano Obviously, either the fuel is not getting through, or the air is not getting through, or the engine is being "managed" by the ECU for some reason. This problem is exactly what I had on my 1990 Terrano while towing a caravan over the Otira Pass. Sure enough, it was the fuel filter... full of crap. After replacing that,4200rpm was no problem through all gears. While you are replacing the fuel filter, trace the fuel line round to the injection pump. At this junction there should be a banjo bolt, about 17mm head, and near impossible to get to. Undo it and there will be a fine gauze filter under it. Make sure this is also cleaned out. Anneal the two copper sealing washers, or replace them with new, otherwise it will leak diesel from there. These are the cheap fixes. After that, it needs diagnosis of fault codes, but see other posts prior to yours e.g. re the No1 injector lift sensor etc. John Christchurch, NZ - Sun 28th June 2009 08:17am (GMT) Subject : Re : Re : Terrano Thanks john .

Subject : Re : 4x4 servicing Change diff oils (be careful, the rear diff may be an LSD, will need correct oil) Change transfer box oil. Flush brake system by bleeding all brakes in correct sequence until new fluid appears at the bleeders. Depending on mileage, think about renewing shockies, as the Terrano handles 100% better with good shocks. If you have an auto trans, and you are going to tow heavy trailers/caravans, install a good extra trans cooler in series with the one in the radiator, ie from auto to aux cooler,into bottom of radiator, return to trans. In cooler climates (such as NZ) this means the aux cooler cannot overcool; the fluid goes into the bottom of the radiator and heats slightly before returning to the trans on cold days. Look at the swaybar bushes, if they are distorted they are cheap to replace. Check condition of V belts. Renew fuel filter. Check banjo bolt at fuel pump to clean fine gauze filter which is under it. Have a look at the other posts on this site:they will give you a good idea what needs to be done regularly. Hope this helps.

Thanks for your help .Wayne wayne palmerston north, new zealand - Wed 24th June 2009 11:57am (GMT) Subject : Re : heater no longer working One other thought, disconnect the coolant hoses leading to the heater. Turn the heater control to full on position. Using a garden hose with a suitable fitting, insert the garden hose into one of the heater hoses, and turn on the tap.Do it slowly at first to check if there is any flow through at all. Theoretically, water should flow through this fairly quickly. If there is a air blockage, this will remove it. I was once upset with the performance of a HQ Holden heater, and I connected it to a fire hose. There were about 10 individual spurts of rust that erupted from the outlet hose as each tube unblocked in the heater core.. Great heat after that! Not recommended because 60psi tap pressure can do nasty things to the heater core that is only usually pressurised at 13psi.

I have spoken to Nissan and they suggest that it is a Fuel filter problem if so how many are there you have the one in the enging bay also a in line filter and I am led to belive there might be a microscreen filter on the pump? if so where is it has any body else had this problem and is replaceing the filters go to cure it. I am also going to try and put a injector cleaner through the system Paul Benfleet, Essex, UK - Mon 08th June 2009 06:24pm (GMT)

Subject : Re : Nissan navaro D22 fuel prob White smoke can mean water problems in the fuel.This also restricts the amount of diesel that can get through a filter (clogs it). If you haven't already done so, replace your fuel filter in the engine bay. Trace the fuel line from the filter to the injector pump. The banjo bolt that connects the fuel line to the pump may have a fine gauze filter in it.Remove and clean this. Use new copper washers, or anneal the old ones, otherwise you will have leaks. Read the earlier postings on this site for more clues as to the usual diesel problems, white smoke, black smoke, blue smoke. Injector cleaners are a last resort, and usually a waste of money.

Subject : Terrano 2.7TD warped head Hi, My Terrano dumped all its coolant out through a leaky water pump and overheated. Having replaced the pump, it was still losing water, with what looked like a blown head gasket. Now the garage (here in France) says the head's warped and will need replacing. Two questions: is there likely to be any possibility of fixing it by getting the head skimmed (first diesel I've owned so I have no idea if that's a goer.....). And if not, is the 2,400 euro he's quoting me for fitting a replacement taking the p*ss?! Ian - France - Wed 03rd June 2009 11:41am (GMT)

Subject : Re : Terrano 2.7TD warped head If this happened in NZ I would be buying a good secondhand engine, because the excessive heat may have done things to everything else such as the injectors, turbo, rings, etc. Once "cooked" they are never the same. Diesel engines are high compression, and the chance of skimming the head to take metal off to level it and not over-raising the compression are slim to non existent. So, how did the garage diagnose the blown head gasket? Theoretically, with the high compression in the cylinder, large amounts of air bubbles should be forced into the coolant if the head gasket is leaking, and you will see that in the neck of the radiator when you have the cap off, even from cold. Another problem which demands care is if you fill the radiator and the vehicle stands overnight, the coolant could leak into the cylinder and fill it sufficiently so that when you try to start it in the morning it will "hydraulic" i.e. the coolant is incompressible, and the piston cannot squash it, therefore the connecting rod will bend. Also not good. As for the cost, well, that depends on whether there is a good second hand head, or better still, whole engine available at a reasonable price, or is he asking you to replace everything with new? That's expensive... Do you have recovery insurance to get you back home? Your local garage can take the time to source parts at least cost. Otherwise, ask him how much to fit a second hand head; if lots less than 2400 euro store your truck with him, and go home and do some buying yourself, including a gasket set. Go back with it, it should take him less than 8 hours to swap in the "new" head, and drive home.But be aware other damage may not be fixed by a new head, and that may become apparent only after you have driven some distance. Sorry I can't be of more help but 12,000 miles is a long way to bring a spanner. You have some hard decisions ahead of you. Good luck.

Subject : leaking coolant problem Thanks John for your advice, went straight out this morning, checked the hose for the washwipe, it had disconnected, fixed it so now its working! put some coolant into the coolant tank, strangly enough it wasn't leaking out! started engine with bonnet up, no water leaking from anywhere, took car for little drive around the block, could still hear the sound of water swishing around. sounds like when a radiator in a house is filling with water and seems to come from behind the glove compartment! so i've no idea what that is. i'm pretty sure the leak hasn't miraculously disappeared as when i parked the car on the road, there were a couple of drops on the ground. i will book it into a garage this week to get it checked out. thanks a million for your help! Teresa nottinghamshire, UK - Sun 31st May 2009 11:58am (GMT)

Subject : Re : leaking coolant problem OK, now we're getting somewhere. The heater matrix (i.e. the small radiator that is the heater and filled with coolant circulated from the engine) is behind the glovebox area. The gurgles are air bubbles. That means air has got into the system and is circulating. Are you also checking the level in the radiator, by taking the cap off? If the coolant overflow bottle is emptying, that coolant is going somewhere. The overflow bottle provides a reserve of coolant so that the hot coolant expands into it when the engine warms up. When the engine cools down, it usually creates a slight suction (vacuum) in the radiator, and draws the coolant back from the overflow bottle into the radiator. Therefore, when you open up the actual radiator cap, the coolant level should be almost overflowing. If not, then the coolant has left the system. Where is the concentration of coolant on the ground? Near the front of the engine, (Pump,radiator hoses)at the back,(heater hoses) at the side? (frost plugs) or out of the air conditioning or heater drains (heater matrix) If you have a smell of coolant inside the car, wet carpets,fogged up windscreen, that can also indicate a leaking heater/pipe/valve. Hopefully your garage will be onto it ASAP. Regards John Christchurch, NZ - Sun 31st May 2009 12:57pm (GMT)

Subject : leaking coolant hi i hope someone can please advise me. a couple of months ago i noticed that my coolant tank was empty. i topped up but since then each time i top up the coolant drips out from underneath the engine. i know its the coolant as its the same colour. this past week i have noticed a swishing sound as i drive, like water swishing around under the bonnet. any ideas as to what it could be? i know i'll have to take it to a garage pronto, but is it still safe to drive? also today for some strange reason my washwipe is losing power and only coming out of the right side onto the windscreen. please help! Teresa nottinghamshire, UK - Sat 30th May 2009 09:52pm (GMT)

Subject : Re : leaking coolant I would suspect that your water pump (pump is behind the fan)is leaking and the swishing is coolant being distributed around the engine bay by the air from the fan. Top up the coolant and let the engine idle until normal temperature, with the bonnet up, and no doubt you will see where the water is coming from. You should really only drive a short distance to a garage, especially if this has been leaking for 2 months, the hole may have enlarged somewhat! Water pumps can be replaced by the home handyman, you just have to take out the radiator, take off the fan assembly, and remove the viscous coupling and water pump as a unit from the block. Replace with a complete replacement pump, it'll be cheaper than trying to overhaul the pump. The windscreen washer jet on the left side is possibly blocked, or the hose to the jet may have fallen off. When you have the bonnet up to check on the coolant loss, have a look at that. That is the least of your problems. Good luck, John Christchurch, NZ - Sun 31st May 2009 02:21am (GMT)

Subject : Re : mass air flow Let's take a step back before we look at expensive "fixes'. The transmission is not meant to go into overdrive until it, and more importantly, the engine,have warmed up. For me, that takes approx 8 Kilometres. I try not to go over 2500rpm for those first kms in order to gently raise the temperature of the oils and water. Is there any other sign of a mass airflow problem? If you want to know the types of problems possible, read the previous emails.

Subject : Re : Nissan Terrano 92 auto Which warning light? John Christchurch, NZ - Sat 09th May 2009 05:07am (GMT) Subject : Re : Re : Nissan Terrano 92 auto THe top one same as the handbrake one its like a circle with an explanation mark in it Sue melbourn, vic, australia - Sat 09th May 2009 01:40pm (GMT) Subject : Re : Re : Re : Nissan Terrano 92 auto o.k. I just went out to my 1991. I usually apply the handbrake when I stop, and when I switched on the ignition, that light turned on. On releasing the handbrake, that light went out. The switch which senses the position of the handbrake (on or off) is in the central tunnel area, about where the handbrake pivots. It sounds like your handbrake switch needs adjustment, or replacing, as the only time it should light up is when you apply/pull up the handbrake. So if the switch is knackered, it could be making and losing contact from the centrifugal force acting on the contacts/wires on corners. It's time to take the central console out and have a look, not hard, but it may be lots easier if you take the front seats out first, which is also not hard to do. Have fun John Christchurch, NZ - Sun 10th May 2009 09:15am (GMT) Subject : Re : Re : Re : Re : Nissan Terrano 92 auto This sounds very much like there is a shortage of brake fluid in the master cylinder. The fluid level is going down when you turn the corner thus making the warning light come on (the fluid most likely lowers more on one direction than the other). If you look at the master cylinder you can see where the fluid level is and if it requires topping up.

The fluid level sensor is on the left side of the bottom of the plastic reservoir, so turning left would slosh the very little fluid remaining up and turn the light off, but turning right would take it away, turning the light on. Or, if there is plenty of fluid, the sensor is stuffed. Please check the brake fluid level ASAP. Regards, John Christchurch, NZ - Fri 15th May 2009 08:45am (GMT) Subject : Re : Re : Nissan Terrano 92 auto Hi John, Spot on the brake fluid was less than half way between min and max.

Sue Sue melbourne, vic, australia - Fri 15th May 2009 12:08pm (GMT) Subject : Re : Re : Re : Nissan Terrano 92 auto Glad to be of service. Now, where did that fluid go? Normally the level falls as your brake pads wear. Instead of topping up the fluid, CHECK YOUR BRAKE PAD WEAR. I'll bet that very shortly you will get an awful screeching grinding noise from one or both front brakes. You need to replace those front pads ASAP. Might as well check/replace the back ones as well. If your pads are OK, then you have a leak somewhere. Find out where and fix it...fast! John Christchurch, NZ - Sun 17th May 2009 03:51pm (GMT)

Two possible other courses..is the temperature sender/guage playing up, or is there a change in performance, more smoke, more fuel, more heat?

Confused Dave David Auckland, NI, NZ - Mon 25th May 2009 09:54am (GMT) Subject : Re : Re : Re : Re : Nissan Mistral How long is a piece of string? To find out, you have to measure it. Measuring temperature with the dashboard guage on any vehicle is a pig in a poke. The only way to do it correctly is with a calibrated temperature guage, as the sender or the guage could both be "way out" So, your "one third" could actually be someone else's "half" Why worry, be happy, the only time to worry is when steam issues forth in great clouds, or there is a radical change in temperature. If the heater stills works well, there is obviously enough heat in the motor. If you really must find out, change the temperature sender and see what happens. It will probably settle down to somewhere between cold and hot!!! Happy motoring....

So far I'm really happy with the Mistral and its performance. David Auckland, NI, NZ - Thu 04th June 2009 12:53am (GMT) Subject : Nissan Mistral Brake problems My Mistral is making a strange hissing/releasing noise coming from the engine bay while driving, it is more noticeable when driving at slower speeds, the noise starts and stops and its duration is only a couple seconds, the effect it has on the car is the braking! The front brake (possibly right) makes a graunching noise the pedal goes quite hard and you can feel the brakes sort of binding (through the pedal) while this is happening the hissing noise increases. This only happens when its nearing a stop example: slowing down for an intersection or to make a right-hand turn ito a driveway, (has never happened while turning left). It doesn't do this at higher speeds though, the brakes work as normal and are effective. However sometimes an orange warning light (ABS) comes on when travel for 20mins or more, and only comes on in the higher speed range, never in the lower range. I replaced the front brake pads (had about 4mm left on them), bleed the lines. The discs' didn't have grooves only a lip on the diameter. The disc thickness is 25.4mm exactly. This did nothing to fix the graunching noise. Then checked all the vacumn lines from the brake booster unit, the 6mm lines did have a bit of perishing in some of bended areas but I couldn't find any major problems. I pulled the hose off the plastic cyclindrical box (to the left of brake booster) air hissed in/out, turned the vehilce on and there was a reasonalby amount of suction in the hose. Any ideas what could be causing this hissing noise and brake graunching a low speeds? Cheers David Franklin, NI, New Zealand - Sun 07th June 2009 09:24am (GMT) Subject : Re : Nissan Mistral Brake problems Don't muck about with brakes, especially ABS. You need a professional to take a look at the system, and he will use a sophisticated brake bleeder for the ABS. Hissing is usually vacuum rushing into a hole. Trace the vacuum line from the vac pump on the rear of the alternator, round to the brake system. Make sure there is no perished rubber, or cracked pipes. If it only happens on right hand turns, suspect a length of unsupported hose moving and uncovering a hole. This would take away the vacuum boost and increase the amount of force you need on the brake pedal. The graunching, does it only happen on hard lock? If so, look at the front A arms, check at the rear of the arms, there is a "stop" which limits the amount the wheels can turn. If you don't put a little grease on this, metal "graunches" against metal on hard left or right turns, and especially if the suspension moves up and down at the same time. (like over a kerb or gutter) One other possibility: raise the front right wheel off the ground with the jack and wiggle it at top and bottom to see how much play there is, then spin the wheel like they do at the WOF testing..it may be a front wheel bearing and if you can hear it or feel it rumble, it needs adjustment or replacement. As above, if all else fails see an expert. The consequences of wheel bearings or brakes failing are usually more expensive than good mechanics. John Christchurch, NZ - Mon 08th June 2009 02:21pm (GMT) Subject : Re : Re : Nissan Mistral Brake problems Hi, I fixed the braking problem without any expense (so far). It was tiny metal grit and dirt stuck to the right abs sensor. After thoroughly cleaning the sensor with a rag and blowing out any loose girt from the gear housing with compressor the brakes work mormal! The metal grit on the sensor gave a false reading of the speed of the wheel (at low speeds), the abs valve would open to release the pressure to the brakes, therefore the grauching noise and bake pedal becoming tough.

Subject : Re : nissan mistral diesel automatic gearbox trouble First thing to check is fluid level in transmission. While you are doing that, check the quality of the fluid (should be bright red, not smell burnt) If you have had the vehicle for a few years and never changed the fluid or the filter in the trans, now is the time to do it. In fact, do it anyway, the trans fluids now available allow much better shifting, cooling etc than those of even a couple of years ago. Check the electrical connections to the box (the wires coming out of it) take the connections apart and spray liberally with contact cleaner and clean them well, especially if you have been offroading in deep mud/water. If this simple maintenance doesn't improve things, you will need the help of an auto trans service person. John Christchurch, NZ - Sun 03rd May 2009 04:37am (GMT)

It is marked as a 'Radio Timer 24v', manufactured by Guilera SA, part number 1056-7513-4542-5093, with Nissan logo. Whatever it's called, it seems to have little to do with the radio. It seems to control the wipers and blowers and is something to do with ignition and stopping the engine. It's been repaired before where tracks have burned off the PCB inside but is finally FUBAR and unserviceable. Does anybody know what this thing actually is?

Subject : Turbocharger Hi I've got a Terrano 2 2.7 slx and I have oil in the pipe that goes from the manifold to the turbocharger can anyone tell me what this means Tony Middlesex, Middx, UK - Mon 02nd March 2009 07:05pm (GMT)

Subject : Re : Turbocharger How much oil do you have in this pipe? If it is a trace of oil, it is most likely blowby from the crankcase, as the gases containing a little oil are carried into to hose leading from the airfilter to the turbo, go through the turbo and into that pipe to the inlet valves. Nothing to worry about, I just wipe the joins of the pipe with a cloth every so often. If you have large amounts of oil, and it's emptying your sump, you have a problem. Either there is excessive blowby, or a turbo oil seal is blown.

Subject : Terrano Tyre pressure I have an 1989 Terrano 2.7td LHD I have brought back from France. I don't think it was available in the UK. In the US it goes under the name of Pathfinder. Can anyone tell me what the tyre pressure should be. Please Nige Cowan Poynton, Cheshire, UK - Mon 02nd March 2009 01:59pm (GMT)

Subject : Re : Terrano Tyre pressure Tyre pressures depend on what you are doing with the vehicle at the time, and what rating and type of tyres. The best tyres for all round use, 80 percent road, 20 percent off road, are LT rated tyres (Light truck.) If you are cruising at high speed 60mph plus and with a full load, then I run the tyres at 38/40psi front and 36/40psi rear. If I want slightly more comfort around town, or with a partial load, I use 32/32. If I am in 4WD low ratio, not exceeding 10mph, and not turning sharply, on sand or loose beach shingle, down to 18/18.

This is a later post re brake problems Hi, I fixed the braking problem without any expense (so far). It was tiny metal grit and dirt stuck to the right abs sensor. After thoroughly cleaning the sensor with a rag and blowing out any loose grit from the gear housing with compressor the brakes work normally again! The metal grit on the sensor gave a false reading of the speed of the wheel (at low speeds), the abs valve would open to release the pressure to the brakes, therefore the graunching noise and brake pedal becoming tough.

Subject : Re : ford maverick The fan clutch works via water temperature activating the silicone inside, it is a sealed unit, integral with the water pump. It activates first at startup, then releases after about a km of travel, and only reactivates when the coolant reaches a certain temperature, usually in my experience, only when climbing hills. You will hear a roar when it does activate. Water pump replacement is quite easy DIY. I replaced a leaking pump, and got a clutch unit that seems permanently engaged. I have left it in, as it does a damn good job of keeping things cool. If it starts to leak again, I will replace it. Don't give up on the vehicle just for this, they are a great vehicle.

If you find out let me know. Thanks stewart dorset, UK - Sun 30th November 2008 09:59pm (GMT) Subject : Re : ABS PROBLEM This is posted in a later post. Hi, I fixed the braking problem without any expense (so far). It was tiny metal grit and dirt stuck to the right abs sensor. After thoroughly cleaning the sensor with a rag and blowing out any loose girt from the gear housing with compressor the brakes work normally again! The metal grit on the sensor gave a false reading of the speed of the wheel (at low speeds), the abs valve would open to release the pressure to the brakes, therefore the graunching noise and bake pedal becoming tough.

Subject : terrano mass air sensor can anyone give me some advice on my nissan terrano 2.7 touring diesel 1998 R reg before i donate it to Top Gear and let Jeremy Clarkson put it on top of a block of hi rise flats that are just about to be blown up ! or on a level crossing to see what its like being hit by a train. Car suffered from loss of power so i fitted a ne MAFS and it worked like a rocket for a few miles down the road then went to no power ! would not even pull away from the lights. turned ignition off and started it up again, okay for a few miles and then it does the same....no power. Tried another new MAFS and its just the same with this one so i have my old one back on now as underpower is better than no power. can anyone help me, tried Nissan dealers for advice over the phone...no chance ! will remember when its time for a new car. andy harper leeds, west yorks, UK - Mon 22nd September 2008 01:30pm (GMT)

The gauze in the injector pump did not cure but it did need a clean while it was out. I bought a cheaper air flow meter off ebay as suggested in this forum, when i fitted it it worked fine for a few miles and then the car lost power altogether. I returned it to the ebayer marking it up and he replaced it and this one did the same. After replacing other parts and even borrowing a turbo i finally bit the bullet and took it to a garage to go on the machine for diagnostic check. Turned out the mass air flow meters from ebay were rubbish ! they did not push out the correct ohms ! so a bosh M.A.F.S from a reputable parts supplier at £110.00 + £45.00 for diagnostic check oh and of course the vat man i was well out of pocket. moral of the story....forget new cheap parts off ebay !

Subject : Nissan Mistral Park Light Does anyone know how what I'm assuming is the Nissan Mistral park light (left headlight) is controlled? Somehow I have engaged it - have no idea how - and haven't been able to discover exactly how to switch it off. This has happened to me once before. I pressed all the switches on and off that I could find and eventually I did manage to get it to switch off but haven't a clue how. This time nothing has worked. So if someone could explain to me how it switches on and off (including the location of whatever the switch is), I'd be very grateful. Thanks.

Steve Ashburton, canterbury, nz - Sat 20th September 2008 05:35am (GMT) Subject : Re : Re : Nissan Mistral Park Light Thanks for responding. It's really wierd because it's only the passenger side headlight. I had numerous attempts at switching on and off all the switches I could find, plus disconnecting the battery which initally didn't help because as soon as I reconnected the battery the light came back on again. However, after asking someone to come over and look at it, I reconnected the battery again and the light wasn't on any more. So it's still all a mystery and he could only conclude that there might be a possible intermittant connection fault although it wasn't possible to see where that could be! Gillian Auckland, New Zealand - Mon 22nd September 2008 05:57am (GMT) Subject : Nissan Mistral Park Light Remove the covers from the steering column and try unplugging the headlamp switch assembly.

The Book shows separate circuits for head lights. Check fuses No's 36 and 37. I dont know which box your vehicle fuse is in ( Both 15amp ) one fuse box by R/H side of steering wheel low down on fascia, one in engine compartment,on left by brake servo unit.. They are in my vehicle ..The lids have circuit information on inside .. OR You may have a fault on one relay . You can swap relays to see if fault is cleared but if one is faulty and has blown a fuse , you may just end up with two fuses blown .If you are Lucky it may just be a fuse blown by a bad lamp (Bulb) Hope this helps James James folkestone, Kent, UK - Sun 30th March 2008 10:38pm (GMT) Subject : Re : Re : Re : Earth!!

Subject : Re : REPAIR MANUALS Hi just to let you know, the maverick was the old NISSAN TERRANO MK2, the reason being was when they came out ford didn't have any 4X4 designs available so they just bought the whole thing from Nissan then rebadged it as a Ford, so if you ever need parts search for Nissan ( MISTRAL - TERRANO - PATROL ) On the matter of manuals avoid the ones on offer on ebay that say they do all models, they dont cover the older Maverick only the new style. The only place you might get the manual is if you look for the nissan patrol one. Also if you ever need an engine, the same one was used in the london black cabs..

Subject : Damaged brake lines Has anyone else had a similar problem? Following an MOT we were advised that the front nearside flexi was heavily chaffed and needed replacing. The work was done, everything fine for a few months and then brake failure at a convenient time. Luckily we were barely moving and i was able to get the car back to a place where i could inspect and replace the hose. The replacement was awkward to fit in that it seemed difficult to position it clear of the suspension. I subsequently had the hose inspected in a (different) garage and was told that nothing could be done re positioning but perhaps some protective braiding could be used. Over the last couple of weeks the hose has developed signs of damage and will need replacing again. We have a 2.7 TDi long wheelbase N reg, anyone else experienced this??

I cannot find anything visibly wrong with the door/sunroof seals.The heater is poor but I am not losing water from the engine. Today I had to literally bail out the water.

My Dad has a '97 3 door and is having same problem, although his only affects passenger side well. He is putting a full newspaper under the mat every night to absorb the water. Only seems to come in when car is stationery, suggesting not being thrown up from the road. I will watch replies here with interest, as I have searched online and not come up with many solutions, although this type of leak does seem common in Terranos as well. Lesley - Cornwall, UK - Mon 26th February 2007 04:16pm (GMT) Subject : Re : Re : Water Leak Terrano mkll lwb 1997. I had a leak coming through the screw fixings that hold down the rubber seal under the bonnet. By carefully removing the grey plastic panel below the windscreen wipers you will see a small cover panel that is directly above the blower Fan intake inside the front passanger footwell.use a small amount of silicone sealent around the gaskets and screws as they are refitted.that solved my leak. you could use a few strips of waterproof duct tape over the first few rubber seal fixing holes and around the end of the plastic facia panel next to the bonnet hinge and if this stops the water then you know what to do. hope this solves your leak..
