Nissan Reviews

Fixing this would involve disassembling the door from the inside (removing the door card) to reveal the workings inside. From there, you can assess whether the glass has jumped out of the rail that supports it at the bottom, or if there's some other problem with the mechanism.

If it’s the former, you’ll need to find out what adhesive is required to fix it back into place. A windscreen replacement specialist might be able to provide this information. A Nissan dealer may also have the correct product on the shelf.

Replacing the glass might be a bit fiddly as there's a lot of gear inside a modern car door, including the side-intrusion bars, the window winding mechanism and the metal parts of the actual door. Some patience may be required.

If you check out a lot of used-car sites right now, you’ll see that a 2016 Navara ST-X can cost anywhere from $10,000 to $55,000. Why the huge price-range? Because there are so many variables with this type of vehicle. Frankly, I’d need a lot more information to make any sort of educated guess on the value of a car I haven’t even seen, so I’m not going to offer one.

Because this type of vehicle is often used off-road, its condition is crucial. If it’s been bashed up, you can take thousands off the price. Has it been a hard working tradie truck, towing a huge trailer every day? How’s the service record? What distance has it covered? What accessories are fitted? What’s its overall condition? Has it been heavily modified (A lot of Navara four-wheel-drives have)? Is it a dual-cab, single-cab? Is it fitted with a tub, a canopy or a drop-side tray?

Without all this information, it’s simply impossible to hazard a guess at the vehicle’s value.

A loss of engine power can be due to many things. Most mechanics will start with a check of the fuel and ignition systems to check for things like dud spark plugs, ignition timing, broken ignition leads and coils and whether or not enough fuel is reaching the engine (worn fuel pump or blocked fuel filter). If all that checks out, then the search will move to mechanical things like the camshaft timing, and whether there’s a leaking engine valve or a vacuum leak somewhere.

The 2.5-litre petrol engine in your X-Trail is a very well known quantity, so there’s plenty of expertise out there. A workshop that deals with Nissans in particular may have seen exactly this problem before and will be able to go straight to the cause.

Meantime, don’t rule out the really obvious stuff like a dragging brake that could be making the vehicle feel sluggish.
