Subject : Nissan 2.7 4 door pick up.
Hi Fokes
I have heard about a lot of these engines having real problems with timing chain. Anyone know how we can fix this before it knackers the whole engine?
Mine is coming up to 50K, just passed its 1st MOT OK. 2007 import. I also heard that the imports don't have the same problems, anyone heard of this?
Comments greatly appreciated.

See previous re person who got 620,000km (375,000 miles) before the auto gave out.
No mention of anything serious going wrong with the engine.
Usual things that do go wrong with engine are the water pump, and the alternator.
(They both went on mine around 60k miles)
Both can be considered normal wear items.
Alternator can be rebuilt using higher quality parts than OEM, water pump is easily and cheaply replaced.
Read some previous posts, the general theme is to look after the engine by replacing the filters, oils, etc. on a regular basis.

Subject : Bad idle and stalling when cold
Hi All, we have a 94 mistral.Had for about 6 months and had a very good run until now.About three weeks ago my wife started having trouble with the Mistral coming up to traffic lights or slowing down,Engine starts to run lumpy,we give it a little gas and she will be doing say 3000rpm and just starts to loose power and then stalls.Start up is hard and takes a while to fire and then when she does lots of diesel smoke and then we are fine.Thismorning was the worse its ever been and took about 15 minutes to get it to a point where it could be driven. This doesn't happen every day.It appears to be worse on a really cold morning,and doesn't happen in afternoons or at night.Went to Nissan for a diagnostic but their reader wouldn't accept the port that the Mistral has and they would have to do it manually.Any suggestions from anyone would be great.Has anyone had this happen to them?if so what was the cause and fix.We don't want to go thru the it might be this and could be that scenario with Nissan as that could cost heaps for something simple to fix.Thanks Richard,Auckland.

- Subject : Re : ford maverick /terrano 2.7 tdi 1999 s getting into gear
If bleeding cured the problem, it means that air has entered the hydraulic lines once again, and it needs bleeding again.
Probably, if you have never done so before, you need an overhaul of the slave cylinder (the one under the car that activates the clutch)
The quick repair is to buy a new slave cylinder,unbolt and throw away the old one, and bolt the new one in place.
If you want to permanently cure the problem, have the bore of the slave cylinder sleeved with a seamless tube of stainless steel which cannot rust, no matter how much water, mud or salt you go through.
You will still need to bleed the clutch to get the air out of the line, and it's a good opportunity to replace all the fluid at the same time.

My crystal ball is cracked.
Try using the telephone, first call would be a Nissan main dealer's parts counter: suggest sitting down before you ask the price.
Then ring factors and see how low you can go.
Cheapest of all would be to buy the seal kit and do it yourself, but I think you will find corrosion on the bore of the cylinder which will quickly wear away at new seals, so you would need it re-sleeved anyway.

There is a known problem with the circuit board of the dashboard in these vehicles. When you hit the dash it shocks the circuit into contact, then vibrations of normal driving seperate the circuit again, causing the intermittent working/non working tacho, and sometimes the fuel guage.
See previous posting in relation to this, and Google replacement dash for Pathfinders/Terranos/Mistrals available in USA.

I was wondering if someone could offer me some advice on a starting problem i have with my '98 Ssang Yong Korando. I noticed when it heats up (driving for 20min) it does not want to start thereafter. I have to wait 2-3hrs again before i can get it started. I can kick start it however and it will start. I changed the battery thinking it could be the battery, but the problem still persists. It doesnt crank or anything. Thanks in advance for your advice.

2H to 4H:
Below 40kmh when driving in a straight line No need to depress clutch or select neutral on auto boxes, but drive in a straight line while moving the selector.
4H to 2H
Any speed when driving in straight line.
(Auto lock hubs will not be disengaged until you stop and move 1 metre in opposite direction.i.e when going forward, reverse one metre, when backing up, go forward 1 metre and reverse 1 metre.
For 4L or 4H to 4H or 4L.
Stop vehicle.
Select N on main gearbox, move transfer lever smartly between positions while depressing the gear lever.
2H to 4L
Stop. Select N in main gearbox.
Depress transfer lever and move quickly and smoothly to 4L position
4L to 2H.
Stop.
Select N on main gearbox.
Depress transfer lever and move it smoothly and smartly to 2H.
Exercise the transfer box at least once a month, summer and winter, and in both 4H and 4L on a loose surface (gravel/mud/wet grass)This keeps everything lubricated and moving freely.

- Subject : Re : engine missing
----Question-----
Hi, I wonder if yo can help please.
I have a Nissan Largo (import), it has the KA24DE engine (2.4i) A short while after buying we noticed a hesitation when pulling away, the revs drop slightly and there is no urgency so you have to really put your foot down to go anywhere, also it seems to struggle on hills.
I changed all the filters and spark plugs (all genuine Nissan parts) but the problem still exists, in fact it seems to be getting worse. As it is an import (we are in UK) we are struggling to find anyone who can diagnose the problem, and worse still as the engine is located below the front seats it's a job and a half to get to the engine so there's an hour labour before they have started!.
There also seems to be a smell of burning, I can only describe it as a smell of burning coal? and only really noticeable when the blowers are on. Not sure if this is linked to the problem?
Any advise would be gratefully received!
-----Answer-----
Ok. You have to check some basic things to get closer to the cause. You need to check fuel pressure, engine vacuum and spark patterns. Is this car a stick or auto trans??? If its an auto you may have a trans problem. Will it rev up in park with no load on the engine? If so then we can eliminate some things.
Hi, thanks for your reply. It's an auto box, and when standing the engine revs fine. I had a look around the engine and couldn't find any split pipes. The reason I changed the spark plugs was the probe on the old ones were more needle like (pointed), rather than being flat? They were totally destroyed, and I have been told this could be a timing fault?
Answer
KA motors were known for chain tensioner failures. If this was the case you would feel this all of time, even when revving the engine. Your problem is load related. Make sure there are no leaks in the air intake hose to the throttle plate. My next step would be to drive it in D2 and see what happens. I am assuming that you have checked all of the basic stuff i.e: timing, idle, compression, engine vacuum, etc.

Subject : oil in the breather pipe
Have noticed oil weeping from the air pipes from the aircleaner to the intake manifold on nissan terrano 3.2 diesiel with 170 000 km on the clock .Sounds like its a common thing on nissan 2.7 and 3.2 engines . Will the oil eventually make it down into the intercooler and restrict air flow as its very low in the front bumper , and is there a catch can available to put on the breather pipe to collect the oil ?

- Subject : Re : oil in the breather pipe
Hi Steve,
You can make your own catch tank, or buy one of the flashy "boy racer" ones.. see TradeMe.
The oil vapours from the engine crankcase take the opportunity to fall out of suspension anywhere between where they enter the air intake system, through the turbo, through the intercooler and piping and into the engine.
Thus the small "weep" of oil from the joints along the way.
Oil coatings do reduce the efficiency of the intercooler.
It basically forms an insulation against the rapid transfer of heat.
I have had to clean the intercooler from a Mitsubishi.
I took it off the vehicle, put a litre or so of petrol in, and swished it around while blocking the inlet/outlets.
It was a filthy dirty liquid when it came out.
I did this twice, then left the intercooler for 8 hrs in sunshine with the 'lets unblocked to allow the vapours to disperse.
DO NOT IMMEDIATELY REPLACE THE INTERCOOLER ONTO THE VEHICLE.
The petrol vapours will do nasty things if they get sucked into the engine.
If you want to be thorough/obsessive, you could flush all the piping the same way.
Hope this helps

Very interesting john . I would of thought as long as your fittings and hoses were the same size as the breather pipe that was there you should be ok .

We have a navara at work with a td 27 turbo fitted and done over 300 000 km . It has a lot of oil leaking out of the pipes but no intercooler to gunk up and still pulls great . Way better than my 3 litre hilux work truck .

Read through previous posts.
There is mention of a couple of problems, including a pink wire from the ABS sensor in the harness going to the firewall which breaks and upsets the ABS, but that should show on the dash with "ABS" light coming on.
Does the clicking noise occur only when turning left or right? Then it could be a CV.
When your mechanic is checking out the CV, he will also look at the brakes, ABS sensors etc.
Tell him to be careful re the ABS sensor;previous post refers re sender wire coming apart when handled roughly.
Hope this helps.

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 : Tired Terrano II 2.7TDi Engine
G'day All,
I have a Terrano II 2.7TDi that has 306,000 (kilometers) on it.
It has low-ish compression in the third cylinder and is generally tired. Can't afford new vehicle and am happy to hang on to this one. Many ancillaries are fairly new, it suits what I want from a vehicle.
Does anyone know about rebuilding bottom ends on these?
Was thinking of a simple hone with rings and bearings. Get the head tidied up whilst its off and run a kit through the turbo... Clean everything else up, fit an oil catch can and blank the ERG to ensure it all stays clean in the future.
Hopefully that third cylinder only needs a hone but I could do a re-bore if it is damaged.
What info does the Terrano II think-tank have to share?
Thanks for any info.

I suggest getting the price of a low kms replacement engine as a baseline figure.
Then go through the list of what you want to do and price that out.
If you are doing everything yourself in regards to labour, it might be close as to which would be cheaper.
If you get it overhauled by a shop, you better have a rock-solid quote from a good operator.
If you replaced the engine, you can take your time "doing up" the original engine.
This "time" includes sussing out the best places to do the overhauls /parts and you would still be able to use the vehicle.
You could then place the original engine (overhauled) back in the vehicle and on-sell the replacement.
Just my 2c worth....

I need urgent help to diagnose a mysterious engine fault on my diesel.
Vehicle: Nissan Terrano II 2.7TDi 1997
Background info:
Saturday we worked on some steering components.
This required removal of the battery.
When this work was finished the battery was re-fitted and the car started fine.
It was started another time during moving out of the driveway etc and started fine.
Headed home later that night (half city driving half tollway driving).
No problems, nothing out of the ordinary during trip home. Everything OK.
Parked car as usual on fairly flat ground.
Car would not start on Sunday morning.
Starter works, engine turns over, but will not fire up.
Still 3/4 tank of fuel, no visible leaks or puddles under car.
I have tried again yesterday and today to get it to start.
Things I checked:
1) Battery terminals – they should be fine as the starter was cranking normally, but I cleaned them and snugged them up again anyway, simply because the battery was removed on Saturday and I wanted to eliminate the only thing we touched.
2) Fuel. Bled system at fuel filter outlet and primed pump until it became hard to push.
3) Checked wires on diesel pump. A wire once came loose on the fuel cutoff solenoid but that is ok now. Cutoff solenoid receives 11.8V when key turned to ON, so it seems ok.
4) Glow plugs receive 12.4V with key turned to ON, switch off at normal time. Relay makes right noises etc - seems ok.
5) A new diesel pump, injectors, glow plugs etc etc were installed no more than 25-30K ago at huge expense. So I doubt it is a worn component in the fuel delivery.
To re-iterate. The car was running perfectly fine, I parked it up as usual.
Now the starter turns over, and everything seems ok - but it refuses to start.
I know the Terrano II 2.7TDi is a bit of an orphan, but I’m throwing this out there hoping that one of the forum members has some experience or ideas that might help.
Thanks for replies.

I checked previous posts here and found this
The engine warning light acts as 2 warnings....if its on all the time there is a fault with the engine, however if its flashing it is a fault with the Alarm/immobiliser NATS ! usually if you take the keys out and lock the doors, unlock and try again it should go off.
Hope this helps, look for flashing lights on the dash....

Thanks for the reply.
The dash light doesn't flash.
I haven't used the key fobs for last the 7 years - I use the ignition key to open AND start. I checked using both keys, and car still won't start.
Will continue with fuel supply and glow plug investigation for now.
Thanks again

Feedback:
Put new fuel filter on (was due anyway).
Cracked injector line and have pressure.
Removed intercooler and glowplug buzzbars.
Checked continuity of Glowplugs (should be 0.5 Ohms).
2 glowplugs were open circuit. 1 was 1.5MegaOhms. 1 was 0.26MegaOhms...
Have ordered 4 new glowplugs, part number CH162.
Hope this will fix it.

This is the best description of a problem plus fault-finding I have ever seen.
What has caused the glow plugs to fry in 25/30k?
What brand were the replacement glowplugs?
Did you have any problems with the thermostat keeping the engine too cool and thus allowing the glow plugs to stay on too long while the engine tried to reach 50C?
Leading on from that, did you have problems with alternator/battery during this time as well?
Good luck...

Thanks mate.
Tried to be clear so others can use info too.
Perhaps glow plugs weren't really changed at 273K, they all 'looked' different vintages (other work done at same time by workshop was also very lousy).
Don't know of other problems that led to plug failure other than not truly being replaced. Although engine runs cool-ish, which is rare for T2's in Australia. Engine has done 306K and is a bit tired so perhaps soot build-up on plugs?
Starter replaced at 250K. Battery only 2 years old - No problems (kept it jumpered to another vehicle during testing).
Will start another thread about tired engine.
Thanks again for your replies.

It's either a good thing or a bad thing that there seems to be no manual for the TD27 available freely on the net. Good, because it's seldom needed; bad, because when you do need it it's hard to find.
If you want to pay, there appear to be quite a few sites available for downloads.

- Subject : Re : Fuse problem
I presume you have blown the fuse and are trying to find which fuse has blown?
Buy a cheap multi-meter.
Set it on the 20 volt DC scale.
Clamp the black probe to earth on a metal part of the vehicle.e.g. the door restraining strap (unpainted) metal.
Turn the ignition to "ACC" and start probing the top and bottom of each of the fuses in the fuse box with the meter's 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 fuse box.
Even if you can't read Japanese, you can see the rating in amps there.
Hope this helps.
Don't believe the rating of the blown fuse..it may have been replaced by someone who did not have the correct rated fuse (or who did not care).
Buy spare fuses, there should be replacement ones clipped on the inside of the fuse box cover anyway.
Hope this helps

- Subject : Re : airlock in water system
Let's analyse this: you just replaced your radiator and thermostat.
Why? Did it overheat?
If so, the probability is that the "huge air lock" is leaking combustion gases entering the cooling system through a warped head and a burst headgasket.
Take it to a good radiator place or a garage with a tester.
This tester sniffs the gases in the water of the radiator and confirms this situation.
If you can see the water in the neck of the radiator bubbling and frothing at idle WHEN COLD, the head gasket would be almost a certainty.
DO NOT TAKE THE CAP OFF THE RADIATOR WHEN HOT.
The water (what's left) instantly turns to steam and blows out all over you, usually severely burning your skin.
Or,as in my case, removing my mustache and eyebrows.
Good luck

- Subject : Re : Re : Re : airlock in water system
If you have the time, could you tell us about these problems? Usually the engines are extremely reliable, unless you run out of coolant, which is usually caused by old hoses, or a worn out water pump.
If you tow a horse trailer or similar, and you have an auto trans and don't put an auxiliary transmission cooler inline with the one in the bottom of the radiator, that can cause overheating, too.
If your mechanic finds head gasket problems, previous posts advise looking at replacing the engine rather than reconditioning it.
Hope it doesn't come to that.

Subject : Bighorn Auto gear box
We have 1995 3.1TD Bighorn Lotus Edition. We use it to tow rowing boat trailers on average about once a month, not exceeding 1500 kg, which it handles very well.
Towing or not, in the last month the gear change has been odd. Sometimes it is reluctant to change up or down the gears. It is very intermittent and travelling at consistent speed is absolutely fine. Our garage have checked out the oil levels, drive train and differential and say that is all fine. They wonder if there is a problem with the gearbox itself, or whether the electronic overdrive is faulty.
Has anyone else experienced these type of problems?
Thanks

If it seems that the auto box can't seem to make up its mind as to what gear it should be in, try changing the throttle position sensor (potentiometer). If it's worn it can give a false reading to the trans as to when to change up/down. Hope this helps

Subject : 1991 Nissan Terrano td27 leaking oil, no power and smoking bad.
I have a Nissan Terrano 1991 with a TD27 motor. Last week on a cross country trip I heard a sound similar to a small electric motor spinning out, it was at the front left of the car. Everytime I heard the sound it would lose power, then the sound would stop and I would have power again. After a while the sound stopped altogether but the car had NO power. I had huge amounts of white smoke blowing out the exhaust. I stopped, did a service on the car and drove it home- all I get was about 40kph in 2nd gear. Then after a while it was running fine again and I had a bit of power. Now there is little power, it is still smoking badly and alternates between dark and light smoke. Also the oil I put in last week is black already. Any ideas, I would really appreciate some help.

- Subject : Re : 1991 Nissan Terrano td27 leaking oil, no power and smoking bad.
I think the colour of the oil is the least of your problems. Oil goes dark very quickly in this diesel. That's good, because it shows the oil is doing it's job and picking up the crap in the engine, holding it in the oil until it gets filtered out by the filter.
I take it that the electric motor sound came from the left side of the vehicle as you sit in the drivers seat?
Sounds like the turbo is not going too well.
Could be partially seizing when hot.
Try to get a pressure guage reading of the turbo boost when driving, and watch for spikes and dips in pressure.
Should be up to 13lbs sq inch, and relatively steady.
Otherwise check that the air intakes into and from the filter are not blocked or collapsed, and that the filter itself has not collapsed.
Good luck, let us know how you got on.

I presume you have a manual gearbox.
Does the idle change immediately you put your foot on the clutch, or after you have selected the gear, but before you lift your foot off the clutch?
If you have an automatic the neutral speed should be around 750rpm, if any gear is selected, around 700 rpm.
Has this problem arisen:
after maintenance,
over a short time/long time,
after going through deep water
after some trauma or other?
How many kms are on the clock? Have you ever cleaned the MAF sensor?

Read through previous posts.
There is mention of a couple of problems, including a pink wire from the ABS sensor in the harness going to the firewall which breaks and upsets the ABS, but that should show on the dash with "ABS" light coming on.
Does the clicking noise occur only when turning left or right? Then it could be a CV.
When your mechanic is checking out the CV, he will also look at the brakes, ABS sensors etc.
Tell him to be careful re the ABS sensor;previous post refers re sender wire coming apart when handled roughly.
Hope this helps.

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.

Christian, I think you will find your problems solved after that.
Today's vehicles with lots of electronic gadgetry can be both easier to fix (because the electronic brain "remembers" what is wrong and tells you) and more difficult (because you usually need a specific electronic part to fix it)
You used to be able to "bodge" a fix, now you can't.
A good modern mechanic has the training and tools to recognise the faults presented to him by the computer, then he replaces the faulty part, and hopes the fault is not in the wiring itself.

- Subject : Re : Nissan terrano TD 27
If you do not have to top up the oil between oil changes, the leakage is probably blow by and oil vapour from the crankcase.
This feeds into the turbo from the top of the rocker cover into the air intake tubing after the air filter, just before the turbo.
This oil vapour goes through the turbo and then coats the inside of the piping going over the top of the engine.
It usually leaks out from both ends of the rubber tubes that connect the pipe which has "Turbo" cast on it.
You can make yourself a "catch can" to trap this vapour, but it's not going to harm anything until the engine is really old and worn out, when it is possible that the oil vapour may be enough to let the diesel run without fuel from the injectors.
Thsi can lead to a "runaway engine" the only way to stop it being to cut off the air going into the engine.
DO NOT USE YOUR HANDS to do this.
Again, if you do not have to top up the oil between 5,000km oil changes, it is only a small amount of oil vapour, not a stuffed turbo.

Subject : ford maverick cutting out
I Have a Ford Maverick 4x4 2.7 turbo diesel and the fault on it is intermitant. The engine turns over fine a will rev fine, but after roughly 25-30 seconds it cuts out as if it has been turned off at the ignition. It doesnt matter whether it has just been idleing or if i have been reving it, it still cuts out the same. I have been through everything. The air intake is fine, fuel intake and piping is fine, turbo works fine and changed the fuel cut off at the top of the F.I.P but non of this helps. I was wondering if anyone could shine some light on the matter, whether it be the ECU or something else I have overlooked. I was also wondering if anyone knows where the ECU is situated?

- Subject : Re : ford maverick cutting out
Three thoughts:
The ignition IS turning itself off and activating the cut off solenoid on the fuel pump.The engine is starving of fuel for some reason (as above, since that is the way to switch off a diesel, by cutting the fuel through the cut off solenoid, or perhaps not the solenoid itself,(which you have replaced) maybe faulty ignition switch or relay to it?
This would also tend to rule out fuel delivery problems since revving the engine should make the fuel run out quicker = less run time?
If this happens from stone cold, the glowplugs may be cutting out with a bad relay, they stay on until the engine reaches 50 degrees C
Check this by clipping on a jumper lead to the positive terminal of the battery to the glowplug rail and see if the engine runs longer than 30 seconds.
Is there any smoke from the tailpipe before it cuts out?
White smoke usually means water being combusted, either in the fuel, or a head gasket blown.
But normally if head gasket you should be having trouble starting.
Can you restart the engine straight away, only for it to die in 30 seconds?
Then it's most likely an electrical problem.
Hope this helps.

Frankly, it's not critical.
I presume you have a gasket between the surfaces, so just tighten down the nuts until they feel reasonably tight, keeping in mind you do not want to distort the alloy housing.
The gasket will do the sealing.

Did the engine rev over 2000 before the work on the turbo/and/or the water pump?
If it did, then whoever has done the job hasn't done it properly and you should take it back to them to fix.
Check for loose or broken rubber tubing leading to and from the turbo and the ducting coming and going from it.
The engine is not getting the signal to rev higher.
Check fuel delivery and replace fuel filter.

- Subject : Re : tyre pressure
Read the sidewall, it should tell you max load inflation psi.
This is the highest COLD setting you want.
Max load psi is for, wait for it, maximum load carrying capacity, meaning your truck almost sitting on the bumpstops with junk in the back/ trailer towing.
You're going to want to experiment with pressures, seeing what you like as far as ride quality, contact patch, noise level and wear.
If you can visibly see a crown to the tread, lower the pressure til it goes away.
A good way to check for proper pressure is take some chalk or a tire marker(grease pencil), draw a line across the tread, drive in a straight line for 100 feet and then check the line.
If it's evenly wiped off, psi should be good.
If it's gone in the middle, psi is to high.
Gone on the outside edges only, psi is too low.
All this depends on vehicle weight, driving style, driving type(high speed, city, gnarly rock), and your preference.
There is no easy answer, enjoy experimenting.
Perhaps start with 30psi all round, and work from there.
Hope this helps.

You should have a fault code present if it is either of these sensors. Hope this helps

- Subject : Re : Petrol in the diesel tank
You may wish to confer with a good diesel mechanic before doing any of this.
You've drained the fuel tank and sucked diesel through to the fuel filter.
Replace the fuel filter before you do anything else, otherwise you are pumping diesel plus petrol from the polluted filter through the injection pump, injector lines, and the injectors.
Now trace the fuel line where it enters the injector pump. There is a banjo bolt there, undo it (17mm, awkward to undo) don't lose the two copper washers, one each side of the connection.
Pump diesel through from the new filter until it comes out clean.
Replace banjo bolt fitting.
Don't forget the copper washers, one each side of the connection.
Disconnect the injector lines where they enter the injectors.
Place cloths in plastic bags over the injector lines and turn over the motor until fresh diesel comes out.
I take it that the vehicle has an auto
trans? It may take a bit of cranking over to flush it out.
Don't crank too long, don't overheat the starter motor.Do it in bursts.
Some say you can run a diesel engine by squirting WD40 into the air intake.
It will only run while you squirt WD40 (if the injectors are not connected.)
Cut off the WD40, the engine stops.
May be worth a try in desperation if your battery is knackered.
When you have clean diesel at the injectors, reconnect the lines and try again.
Be careful clean up all the spilled fuel and the engine bay before you start the engine and driving anywhere.
Good luck, hope this helps.

I think you will find it is the emergency release to allow you to move the gear selector without the key in the ignition or your foot on the brake.
Not to be used on sloping drives etc because you have no steering control and very hard to activate brakes.
But if it's in the garage and the garage catches fire, just push the button, slip it into neutral and push it out.

The diff may have filled up with water, when you drive it will heat the water, then it will spurt out through that breather.
Best to drain what is in there, and replace.
Check that you use Limited slip lube, something like Penrite Limslip 80w-140
Check your breather works by rotating the cap and seeing it lifts and settles properly (it sounds like it's working if it allows the fluids to spurt out.
It is also where the water went in.

You'll need about 2.8 litres for the rear axle, and while you are doing it, do the front one as well.
You can use the LSD oil in the front without harm.
While you are there, think about replacing the transfer case fluid which is Dexron 3.
If you get into the swing of things, and you haven't done so recently, suggest a fluid and filter change of the auto as well.
That I leave to Automan Automatics in CHCH, about $320 for converter flush plus above fluid and filter, plus function check etc.
As opposed to $3000 for a rebuild of the auto.

Previous postings on this thread have explained this but here it is again.
POWER: use this to make the engine rev higher before changing into the next gear.
It won't turn your diesel into a sports car. It will use more fuel, and the gear shifts sometimes feel rougher.
Best used when driving up long slopes where the transmission usually changes up and down ("hunts") between gears.
POWER will make it stay in the lower gear for longer.
HOLD: the transmission pattern will hold in a higher gear for longer (in "D") and only select 2nd gear with the shift lever in "2"
This is useful when driving in slippery conditions.
Hope this helps.

Can't help directly with your query, but having just replaced all those bushes on my D21,suggest you take a set of calipers and measure the size of the anti roll bar.
There are about 3 different diameters.
Once you know this, any spare parts place can assist with bar to chassis D shaped polyurethane bushes.
You will probably find the old ones ruined by wear and tear, and oil having dripped on them.
The bushes for the ends of the anti roll bar can usually be obtained from the same places, they are standard for lots of vehicles, and I suggest poly for them as well.
30 minutes work should see it all done.

Sounds like a dying battery, the clicking could be the solenoid on the starter not getting enough voltage to engage the starter properly.
Have the battery tested by a mechanic you trust and be prepared to buy a large and expensive battery, the biggest you can fit into the space available.
The bigger the battery, the less effect starting a diesel has on it, and the longer it takes until you have to replace it again.
Seven years is not an unreasonable life for a large truck battery starting a 2.7litre diesel.
How long has this one lasted?
Also check the output of the alternator as they can overcharge as well as
undercharge a battery.
Good move re cleaning the connections,battery terminals and earthing points.
Hope this helps.

Good news!
Now check the alternator output just in case.
If it's a Hitachi alternator, the diode pack gives trouble, and by far the best fix is a rebuild (about$320 inc GST by Burnside Electrical CHCH)
That way the wiring is not a hassle (don't ask me how I know.)

I am a great fan of the gel cell spiral cell bastteries. I have used optima batteries for the last 25 years on various vehicles. They are physically smaller than standard batteries, provide up to twice the capacity and last 10 to 15 years. they are twice the price initially but worth it in the long run.

I have 1996 terrano 2.7 td auto. every now and again after driving a short distance i am getting the orange engine check light on the dash followed by a bad shuddering when trying to acclerate.It is always fine after turning engine off and restarting. Any ideas what the problem may be?

Keith, read the previous posts re electrical problems with the Terrano around 96-97.
Each time you restart the engine, you reboot the computer, which makes the fault go away, until it reapears.
My advice is to bolt a wire capable of taking at least 10 amps between a bolt on the engine and a bolt on the firewall to establish a good earth between engine and body.
If this makes a difference, then clean and re-bolt the earthing straps from the engine and trans to the body.
If it doesn't make a difference have the computer scanned for the faults.
It could be the lift sensor on the No.1 injector, or the fuel solenoid on the injector pump.
It may be the MAF sensor.
See previous posts.
Hope this helps.
Please tell us how you get on.Thanks.

You really want to take the sump off the auto, replace the filter, clean the pan, refill to the correct level, and then pour more in via the hose from the trans to the radiator cooler with the engine running and going through the gears with the selector, while allowing the fluid from the trans to pump into a bucket, thereby replacing the fluid in the torque converter as well and flushing out all the old fluid.

Do you have prior experience, or a manual,(you can Google a video on changing filter and fluid, done by a American, if he can, you can!) or the filter, and at least 11 litres of Dexron3 or equivalent auto trans fluid, plus a hose to connect the trans output pipe into a bucket, and another hose and connector to connect up the input hose into the radiator cooler? You will be pouring 5 litres through a small hose using gravity (unless you have a pump?)

Another thing to check, there is a rocker switch in the center console labeled A/T with POWER at the top and HOLD at the bottom.
Normally this switch will be in the middle, power and hold alter the transmission shift points - power shifts down sooner - hold will hold in the gear longer.
Is this switch in the HOLD position?
Also these transmissions will limit to 3rd gear in cold weather, until they warm up (about 3 minutes) and then will not change into fifth (Overdrive) until they have further warmed up (about 7 minutes) this is normal for these transmissions.
Have a look at this thread as well re TPS/speed sensor

You have an electrical problem; but it's only a problem until you can find out what is causing it.
Start with making sure that the battery terminals are clean and corrosion free.
Then check the earth straps from the engine to the body are clean at both ends and that there is no corrosion under them.
As a double check, run a wire between a bolt on the body and a bolt on the engine.
Replace the batteries on the remote unless you have done that recently;check there is no corrosion of the terminals in the fob.
After that you may need to reprogram the immobiliser and alarm system.
Hope this helps.

Hello there, can anyone advise what this could be please? We have owned the 1995 Nissan Mistral (Auto, Diesel) for approx 5 months, it has been going fantastic up until the last month, I have had 4 incidents where whilst driving it just suddenly cuts out with no warning what so ever, completely dies, no lights, no indicators, no dash lights, no flipping steering! it is so random, it has happened while driving at 100kms on busy roads with trucks up my butt! where I have had to cruise off the road up a grass bank!, it has happened following a hearse at a funeral! and driving around a lake, so all different situations, The only lights that appear when it happens is a quick flash of the imobiliser lights on the dash which is why I am wondering if it is something to do with this? we will of course get this checked out, it has never done it while my partner drives it which isn't very often so when I explain to him what happens he claims I must be knocking the imobilser buttons on the keyring, but I know this is not the case.

Try running a wire capable of taking a 10amp current between a bolt on the motor and a bolt on the firewall.
American forums on Terrano/Pathfinder problems mention a problem with earthing to the motor; if this solution works you can have a bigger, more permanent grounding strap made up, or check or replace the existing groundstraps and earthing points.
Also, 1997 models (especially the 3.2)appear to have a problem with the circuit board in the instrument panel the symptoms of which are erratic readings of the rev counter.
See previous posts.

Bryce, is the flashing light orange (as in "Check Engine"
Best thing is to have the on board computer scanned for a fault code.
Every time you switch the key off and then restart it is resetting the computer, wiping the trouble code.
Then the fault reappears at speed and after time.
Until you know what the computer is telling you, you can't start fixing it.

Matt, once you have the head off, you will need to have it checked for warping and for cracking.
See previous posts below.
Frankly, if you are struggling now, what will it be like trying to put it together the right way, with the proper torque applied to the fasteners etc?
I would counsel you to spend the money and get a mechanic to disassemble it.
Tell him not to do anything until you have checked what it will cost, especially if it involves replacement of the head.
READ THE PREVIOUS POSTINGS re head troubles.
It is almost impossible to emphasize enough that once the engine has overheated you may have continuing problems with it.
A second hand engine may be the way to go.
I really hope this helps.

- Subject : Re : Nissan Mistral 2.7td
Are we talking about a manual gearbox or an automatic?
I presume it's an auto, and if so, have you ever changed the filter and the fluid?
Leaving it standing for a year means everything has drained to the lowest level possible, and seals may also have dried out.
All the dirt that was in suspension in the fluid has fallen out of suspension.
When you started it up again, that dirt has redistributed itself.
If it is old fluid, the properties which keep seals flexible may be somewhat depleted.
Start with a full fluid and filter change.
It's the cheapest and simplest possible remedy.
Hope this helps.

If you have never done this before, have a look on the internet there are some tutorials available, and if an American can do it, anyone can!

Subject : mistral auto knocking

- Subject : Re : mistral auto knocking
There are three mounts made of rubber and steel which allow the engine and gearbox some limited movement when accelerating and decelerating, and isolate the engine and gearbox noises and vibration from from the chassis, and the occupants.
That is what they are called: engine mounts and gearbox mounts.
They can be purchased from factors, wrecking yards, and, of course, dealers.
They do wear out, usually causing s droning vibration in the cab.
Falling out is another matter; usually they tear but they are bolted at both end.
You state that the knocking noise happens when leaning over to the right at low revs.
Are you turning sharp left at the same time 1.e. at full left lock?
Are you going over bumps at the same time, making the front right suspension work hard?
There are two metal stops on the bottom of the suspension arms and at full lock these can "knock" or graunch as the suspension moves.
Crawl under the vehicle and put a dab of grease of these bits..they will be shiny from wear.
Another possibility could be worn anti- roll bar bushes. Inspect the ones at the ends of the arms, and the ones attaching the bar to the chassis.
If these are worn (and they probably will be) the bar is free to knock, steel against steel with the slightest bump.
Then there are the shock absorbers, and their rubber bushes.
Check for leaks, replace if more that 60,000km old and get gas filled replacements (and new bushes).
Last of all, check the state of the wheel bearings and the CV joints.
Wheel bearings usually rumble, CV joints click.
Hope this helps

Does the knocking noise increase and decrease speed with the rise and fall of the engine revs?
I'm thinking of the power steering pump or it's drive belt?

Hi,
I had the same on my mistral. when it fails you will have no drive to any of the fan belts so replace it asap. The hardest part is getting the crankshaft pulley nut pf ( 40mm af) fix the socket onto a good tommy bar and give the ignition key a quick tweak and the bar bill catch the side of the inner wing ( which should be protected by a piece of timber) the woodruff key on the crank should be replaced at the same time because it will be worn.
good luck

You should use a good torch and have someone rev the engine a little to observe the movement of the crankshaft pulley. Safest would be from under the vehicle by removing the shield.

- Subject : Re : 4 wheel drive problems
Look at previous posts.
If you have automatic hubs, climb under the vehicle with the engine off, and twist the front driveshaft one way, then the other. In one direction the 2 front hubs should "click" and then the driveshaft will be unable to be turned any further by hand without moving the vehicle, thereby showing you that the hubs do work.
When you twist the other way they will "click" and you can turn the shaft without a problem in that direction.
If this doesn't happen, and you've never repacked the front wheel bearings or even looked inside or serviced the hubs, now is the time to do it.
See previous posts on how to disassemble and reassemble the hubs.
If the hubs work well,then you have to look at the transfer box/lever/turn the dial on the dash arrangement, and at that stage, you should go to an expert.

ABS fault
Just thought this might help somebody in the future so posting it.
fault with abs.
Scanner said fault with offside front sensor so after checking sensor had power down to it we fitted a new sensor but unfortunately still the same.
The air gap is hard to measure on this model as you cannot see it so after checking that adjusted all the slack from the bearing and still no good.
Problem turned out to be the main engine loom where it leaves the rocker cover and goes to the bulk head.
A strange place to find an abs wire I know but it was broken right through and when the engine moved on setting off it broke the connection.
This wire is pink in colour.

Subject : Nissan 2.7td Problems
i have a Ford Maverick/(nissan terrano rebadged) everything was going well with it until the badwinter of Jan.
i kept losing coolent and although temp increased i never let it go outside limits ,My water pump failed to which i changed.
i still kept losing coolent and still had a temp problem.
one day it was so high i knew it was still within limit and was a mile away from service station it cut out!.
after roadside assitance from the RAC i got it going again and stil kept losing water.
after a week of normal operation (topping up water every 100miles) i start losing power until i can only get 2000rpm
solved this prob;em by removing the fuel pump filter.
still kept losing water at an alarming rate and notice cooling system was pressurizing straight away! with what could be exhaust gasses.
was told that cylinder head gasket possible gone.
was going to change this when i found out exactly what my car was going to fail its mot on.
now it wont start! just cluncks but all the lights still on the dash. i am pissed of with thease endless problem i need this sorted any clues? is this all related? it is a 1994 ford maverick 2.7td. i chose this car beacuase of the milage it still only has 81k even now and has a full FSH to back it.

- Subject : Re : Nissan 2.7td Problems
Matt, I think the motor is stuffed through overheating.
Did you have anti freeze in the coolant before the temperature began to rise?
It is possible for coolant to freeze, both in the radiator (and unfortunately) in the block if the coolant does not have enough antifreeze.
When you start the very cold engine with bad coolant, the fan can draw freezing air through the radiator, and freeze the coolant in the tubes, blocking the radiator with ice.
The reduced coolant flow then overheats the motor, even on a cold day.
The temp guage on the Nissan is slow acting, and the clue was that it rose even in freezing conditions.
The water pump failure may or may not have been related...what was the damage to it when you removed it? Was the impeller ruined or did the shaft bearings let go and it was just leaking?
The clunk in your motor would be hydraulicing of the pistons.
The coolant going past the headgasket (which fails very quickly when this motor overheats) fills the cylinders.
Liquid is incompressible, so when you turn the starter motor and it tries to turn the engine, the pistons cannot go up and down.
There are previous posts describing this.
It's your choice but it will involve lots of money.
The breakdown is not the fault of the vehicle, as there are hundreds of thousands of these engines in service throughout the world, and they don't have these problems.

Is my alternator on the way out? - BlackOnyx
Hi, I believe this is a common problem. I'm on my third alternator and third battery!
And there is NOTHING wrong with either of them.
I have just today checked if the glow plugs were turning off, and hello! they are staying on! and sucking more juice than the alternator can supply.
This can be easily checked - either with a multimeter at the glow plug rail, or multimeter or LED battery/alternator tester on the battery locate the 80amp fuse for the glow plugs and pull the fuse while the engine is running - my bet is the battery will instantly be charging normally, and show low volts when the fuse is reinserted.
On my Terrano, the fuse box is half way between the battery and the fire-wall.
The glow plug relay is between the battery and the fuse box - the relay clicks in and out with the fuse removal, which makes me suspect the glow plug controller.
I haven't located the controller yet.
The American workshop manual does not cover the diesel engine model.
The Nissan diesel engine manual does not cover the electrics (glow plugs).
If I can not locate or repair the glow plug controller, I will simply add a small electrical kit-set timer, at the fuse/relay, to turn of 15 to 30 seconds after the ignition is turned on.
Hope this gives an answer to this frustrating (and expensive) problem.

Is my alternator on the way out? - BlackOnyx
Hey, just an update!
Did you hear the one about the Terrano with a charging problem?
Just fix it by replacing the thermostat!
Seriously - check your temperature gauge does it take ages for the needle to barely get off cold? (and is the heater useless?)
The needle should get to just below half way in 2 or 3 minutes.
If the thermostat is stuck open, then the engine does not get up to temperature.
The glow plug control senses the engine temperature is cold, so the glow plugs stay on for an extended period of time (sometimes 10 to 15 minutes) - short trips particularly in winter, with more headlight driving - the alternator can't keep up with the current being drawn off and from time to time you will end up with a flat battery!
A thermostat is cheap, and easy to replace (three bolts and about a half litre of coolant - I pumped the coolant from the top of the radiator, and didn't spill a drop when the thermostat housing was removed).
Sure enough, as the engine temperature reached about 50C, the glow plugs turned off.
CHANGE THE THERMOSTAT.
Hope this helps

Note that the other fault could be the fuel injection timing solenoid on the fuel pump itself.
This appears to be covered by the same fault code?
Have you checked this solenoid?

Hi
Make sure no noise when idling coming from gearbox. Input shaft bearing is a common problem and will cost you £££'s and a lot of time to repair. Check if noise changes when clutch pressed. Check for service history as these get abused if in a farm environment. Steering can wander - front wheel bearings are adjustable but steering drag link a common problem. Rear drums can go out of round and cause judder. Front calipers can get too rusty and bleed screw can snap off. check for transfer box oil leaks as can be also expensive. Hope that helps!

The engine starts straight off the key but it will not rev up more than 1600 rpm. I have checked all vac pipes, electrical connections and the fuel return pipe. The air and fuel filters are new. The vehicle acts as if it is fuel starvation. Are there any other fuel fiters I can check?

Has this vibration started recently? How often in the past have you used 4WD?
What surface do you use it on?
Is it a lever or switch you use to effect the change to 4wd?
Have you ever gone under the vehicle with the engine off and the transmission in 2wd, and tried to turn the front diveshaft...you should hear the hubs click in as you twist one way, and release as you turn it the other way.
Have you tried servicing the wheel bearings and the auto hubs yourself? Nothing to it, instruction are below in another couple of postings.
Usually, if your steering is alternately pulling one way and then the other, but in a haphazard way, the clutches in the auto hubs need servicing/geasing.
It pays to do the wheel bearings while you are in there.
Hope this helps.

Any good brand name oil, 10w-30, 15w-40, rated for use in a diesel engine.
The critical action is to change it regularly, and the filter, too.
I don't believe in extended oil change intervals, so I use mineral oils Not synthetic or semi synthetic, and change both at 5,000km/ 3,000 miles or three months.
I do this in at my home, and it costs me less than a third of the price charged at a garage.. and I know the quality of the oil and the filter.
I use my Terrano every day, usually for short journeys which combined with town use equals severe service and short oil change intervals.
Touch wood, I have never had any of my vehicles die through lack of proper lubrication....yet.
Oil is relatively inexpensive compared to engine overhauls, especially in a diesel.

There are companies that repair and / or recondition these dash units because of these very faults if if comes to that.
A lot cheaper option than a new one.

I think you have diagnosed your problem correctly. If the only thing you have done is fit two new tyres, and the light never came on before, then you have a problem in the wheel diameters.
A quick way out of this is to buy two more tyres (new or half worn ones) and see if this stops the light activating.
I am sure it will.

You should if anything like the T2.7TD injector pump find under the power steering pump a 17mm bolt holding down a banjo fitting.
Crack the bolt holding the fitting BECAREFUL here there are two copper washers one eather side of the fitting.
Move the fitting to one side insert a big pen you should pull out a small spring reinsert the ball pen and you should this time pull out a small gauze type filter(not much bigger than the tip of your little finger) they usaly build up with sludge n gunk.
Wash in petrol or degreser rince it off n give it a blow out then reassemble the oppersit of removel.

You may also want to anneal the two small copper washers, i.e. heat them up cherry red in flame, then quench them in water.
This softens them and makes them seal properly when you tighten down the banjo bolt.
Or, buy two new washers...

Is the pedal feel "softer" than it was before you changed the pads?
Could the master cylinder also be worn, allowing air into the brakelines?
Are you using a pressure bleeder that feeds fluid through the reservoir and down to the cylinders without needing to push the pedal?
Have you started bleeding the brakes from the cylinders furthest away from the cylinder e.g. lr rr lf rf (on a right hand drive)
You will not be able to bleed "only" the front brakes, you need to bleed them all in that sequence, and a pressure bleeder is the way to go.

- Subject : Re : ford maverick lost compression
When you took the head off to replace the head gasket, did you have the head checked for straightness/splits?
Usually they warp with excess heat, and the twist means that the new head gasket is not clamped down evenly all around all the cylinders.
Therefore it lets go once again.
Solution: take the head off and take it to an engine reconditioner to check for warping.
You will also have to check the block for the same thing.
It may be cheaper to buy a second hand head, or even a secondhand engine, as ring tension and a lot of other things can also be affected by excess heat.
See previous postings re the same thing.

Here is a previous discussion re overheated engine::
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.

Had the same thought as you about the possible state of the rest of the engine (it's got 210,000 kms on it anyway.....) so time to have a look at recon engine prices I guess.
Cheers again.

Sounds like one or more of your glowplugs is not working.
They continue to work for a short time after you start the engine in order to make sure that the cylinder is hot enough to ignite the mixture.
After the engine warms to a certain degree, the glowplugs cut out.
Check glowplugs first, as you obviously have at least one, if not up to three working plugs, otherwise the engine would not start at all.

I have recently had a service on my Mistral I bought recently. The garage said the dipstick is not the right one for the vehicle and I don't have a owners manual, so they guessed at changing/adding 6.3l of oil. What is the correct amount of oil for a 2.7d Mistral? Thanks

According to my Owners manual, 5.5 litres without filter, 6 litres including filter.
It won't be the end of the world to have 6.3 litres in there.
I meet "dipsticks" every day, but how do you genuinely lose one out of that long tube on the engine, and who puts a "wrong" one in as a replacement?
You can use what you've got, if you re-mark it with the FULL level..and keep it there +/- 1 cm.
Otherwise, try to get the right part for peace of mind.

If you want it to work all the time, i.e. lock it up so the fan is constantly being spun by the engine, drill holes and insert two bolts with nuts through the housing, diametrically opposite each other for balance will do the trick.
But pardon me for asking, are you sure you don't have another more serious problem with your cooling system?
The viscous drive fan usually works well.

If it is the same as the Terrano one, it is permanently pressed onto the shaft of the water pump, and "replacement" means replacing the water pump and reattaching the old fan to the new viscous clutch.
Check the state of the fan, if it is old enough there will be cracks in the fan usually at the base of the blades.
You can replace both with either genuine Nissan parts or pattern parts.
Hope this helps.

Take it to an expert and ask him to service the trans i.e.to change the auto trans fluid and the auto trans filter.
He will check the condition of the internals while he has the pan off to change the filter.
He can tell you what condition the whole thing is in, and may be able to spot why the reverse has an intermittent fault.

Your vehicle is no longer warrant of fitness standard, with a faulty ABS system.
Therefore, if you drive it around and have an accident, you will be for the high jump, and your insurance company will not be happy with you (could even refuse you cover)
Find out from a Nissan dealer what parts you have to replace. This gives you a baseline re price.
Make phone enquiries with parts places price shopping.
Make your choice and fit it.

- Subject : Re : nissan mistral cutting out whilst driving
The simplest thing to start with is to connect a wire capable of taking 10amps of current between a bolt or nut on the engine and a bolt or nut on the firewall to ensure that there is a good ground between the engine (and it's sensors) and the firewall.
From reading other websites this problem of corrosion at the bolts of the usual earthing straps seems to affect the older Nissans. If this does seem to cure the problem, make up a new earth strap and replace the old one.
Other possibilities have been covered in previous posts and include MAP/MAF sensor.
But the best idea would be to get the computer scanned for fault codes otherwise it will be an expensive guessing/parts replacement game.
Hope this helps.

Sounds like a fault in the front transmission system.
Easiest check is exterior of the diff and driveline, see if there are any plastic bags or other extraneous garbage hanging off.
Then check fluid level in the front diff.
Then take the auto hubs apart, checking the state of the spring clutch in each hub and making sure it is not worn.
If you do both hubs at once, you can directly compare the state of one with the other.
Also check that the shift mechanism is working properly (is it an electric switch or a manual lever?)
Hope this helps.

- Subject : Re : Terrano Lights
In consultation with a crystal ball, here are some possibilities re your "weak" headlights:
Possible:The bulbs that are in there are cheap and nasty, their light output is woeful.
Solution: buy nice, bright, new bulbs.
Something like NARVA +30 65/55w headlight bulbs works for me.
Possible: The ground wire to the headlights is corroded; insufficient grounding means the electrickery can't complete the circuit properly, causing dull lights.
If you replace the bulbs as above, you will soon see if it makes a difference.
You should carry a spare, anyway.
Struggling up hills usually means not enough fuel or not enough air, but keep in mind it is not a V8 petrol!
Replace the fuel filter, and the air filter.
While you are at it, replace the oil filter and engine oil as well.
It wouldn't hurt to replace all the fluids in the transmissions and diffs, too.
Then you know you have done your best.
After that it is time to go to an expert.
Otherwise, read some of the previous posts going back 6 years, and some other ideas may come to you.

Not normal. Your car is eating a much oil. Maybe your car work with engine oil not a gas. Check engine oil gaskets! Maybe you need to change gaskets. Also use silicon gasket. That would be better. Check piston and its other parts. Check valve timing!

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

- Subject : Re : unable to change from 4H to 2H
This was a problem for me but after a good looking at found that the brake inside the Free Wheel Hub was bent slightly... to check this ...remove the free wheel hub ... no need to remove road wheel... and draw off and you will see a copper bronze device whith a soft spring this works like a clutch so as to engage the drive whilst vehicle is moving... if you see that it is damaged (the prongs are bent) then replace it ... remove them both 2 parts and soft spring from either side ... and replace hubs... put it into normal drive and test it on the road... "Do Not try to change gear to 4 wheel drive until you are stopped"!... when stopped put into 4 wheel drive and go slowly if you still hear the whirring sound it is more serious.. the brake being bent stops the full return of the hub to free wheel... and jams one wheel while the other is free...

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.

Hi this could be a long story we have a Minstral 95 2.7 deisel Auto we have been having a problem with over heating while 4x4 driving it got to the point where the motor cut out and we had to get towed out of some very steep 4x4 tracks quite a dramatic couple of hours. When we got out from the high country the motor had cooled down so filled up with water and the motor started first time it sounded good so we started to drive home. Firstly the gear box would not change gear it was stuck i second also the dash board light IE 4x4 light keeped flashing and making a ticking noise as well as the Air Con light when turned on anyway when we got home some 2 hours latter i turned off the motor and now it will not start not even showing any dash light it is dead i am thinking it has gone into a safe mode can any body confirm this or give me some idea of the problem.

Just replaced no 3 big end bearing and con rod. Having put the engine back in it took some considerable time and effort to get the oil pressure warning light to go out with low pressure until hot.

Hi i would try the easiest first as its harder to take engine apart again than change the oil pressure switch and then work my way round to checking the compression and then if that doesn't sort it take the oil pump out but that would be the last on my list as it will cost you another set of gaskets if you damage the ones you just replaced.
Also check to make sure that if you have used sealant make sure the oil strainer isn't blocked.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Follow the top hose from the radiator to the engine. 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.

I am on my second Mistral 2.7 diesel turbo and I have changed the thermostat in both of them. With the new thermostats they normally sit at less than a quarter of the way up the scale. When working hard i.e the Desert road or the Coromandel hills in the height of summer when fully laden the temperature gauge will rise to the mid point of the scale. If you listen you will hear that the mechanical fan is spinning much harder. The gauge has never gone higher and drops back to normal as we approach sea level.

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.

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..

Have had this problem. Have T2 1997 SR with elec s/r. Happened just after converted to LPG and thought may have been related. Was only on drivers side. Also extremely heavy rain for days. Sun roof appeared ok. Then adjusted door lock fitting and fingers crossed has now been ok for about 3 weeks. Even after heavy rain.

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.

Hi. just done a difficult one .put the vehicle in high gear and put handbrake on ,plus couple of chocks to the rear wheels. once you have taken the transmission slack up it will lock the engine enough to get the bolt undone .P/s you should be turning the bolt anti clockwise to undo as its a normal right hand thread . regards .

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.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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

Thanks for the advice. We've had numerous scans done which have indicated the various relay faults, but it seems there is something going on in the background which is causing the relays to fault. Will try your suggestion of the wire from the block to firewall. Thanks again!

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

It is possible, but very tricky. You need to remove radiator. Loosen engine mounts and jack it up a couple inches. Lower the crossmember if you need more room. Slide the sump to front of engine and up into space where radiator was then slide out. Be carefull not to damage the baffle in the sump. I cracked a bit of mine off.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The garage doesnt know whats wrong as the noise goes away when i take it in to get it looked at so they cant source the problem. Has anyone had this problem and how can i fix it?

Daniel,
Where is the noise coming from, front, back, middle of vehicle?
Do you have a LSD in the rear? Do you give the $WD system a workout each month to keep everything working smoothly?
Have you had any problem with the front automatic hub locks?

Hi, im fairly sure its mid located noise but as i said once ive pulled over and carry on again the noise dissapears so is kind of hard to tell seeing you cant get out and walk along side while its happening. Almost sounds like something rubbing on the wheel which then becomes more like a colapsed wheel bearing or grinding. Im pretty sure its not an LSD model, and also has manual lock hubs that get some use every month or two which as far as i know havent had any troubles but we all know car sales have a lovely way of beeing able to bend the truth. Its a kiwi new model if that means anything oh and apolagies, its a 92 model not a 95

there is a tiny gause filter on the top of the injector pump, i had the same trouble, remove the battery and the power steering pump and its a 5 min job. when you remove the bolt on the banjo fitting there is a little spring that holds the filter in place. you will need to fish the filter out its inside the pump, use a piece of thin wire, either dont put it back or i cleaned mine in petrol and put it back. it a 5 min job. just mind on the banjo fitting there is a washer top and bottom, dont loose them.

I have the same problem with my 94 maverick it a 2.7 diesel it wont rev over 3000rpm loss of power white smoke when i accelerate do you think it would be caused by the same problem as i have been told to change the fuel injection pump and it may cure the problem as no fuel been pumped into fuel filter can you advise i would be very gratefull as i love my truck and cant wait to get it fixed thanks

Mines a 96 model, should be the same i would think, it must still have a inline filter on it, other than the main fuel filter, but you will need to clean it as you cant buy them anymore but if its not got a filter it,its not a big job to look youve wasted 10 mins max.

The rear passenger side indicator on my terrano keeps not working then all of a sudden it will work and when i put my trailer onto car it works fine and will continue working until i remove the trailer and then it will work for a little while before it stops again, the front still works but flashes like made, could it be a loose connection.

Check all your indicator bulbs by opening the housings and taking them out.
Then clean the crud out of the sockets using an electrical contact cleaner from a spray can, and spray and clean all the bulb contacts with a cloth.
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.
The mad flashing usually indicates that one of the bulbs in that circuit is dead, or not making contact due to crud.
Time to do a some easy maintenance.
Hope this helps.

some of those types of keys need to be programmed to that specific car due to different frequencies have a look at the manual to see if they have to be programmed in, some cars ya need a code or try turning the key and holding the lock button then turn to unlock and push lock button at the same time then again to the lock position and pushing the lock button again then start it up turn it off and se
