Nissan Pathfinder 2005 Q&As

Check out real-world situations relating to the Nissan Pathfinder 2005 here, particularly what our experts have to say about them.

• Ask Smithy Xtra Rust around plates on Pathfinder

  The warranty has run out so you’re really pushing uphill if you want to get Nissan to pay for the repairs. If the rust hasn’t penetrated the sheet metal I would apply some rust preventative and try and limit the damage over the long term.

• Ask Smithy Xtra Pathfinder heating

  We haven’t had any other such reports at Cars Guide, perhaps our readers could let us know if they have experienced the same problem. To find the cause you need to establish what is, or perhaps more importantly, what isn’t happening. Are there any leaks around the heater? Is the core blocked or broken? Are all the hoses intact etc.?

• Pleased with our diesel-gas conversion

  Good information for anyone thinking of converting their diesel to dual-fuel, but it's important to do lots of homework before having your vehicle done. Consult a number of converters to get a feel for their competence, talk to as many of their customers as possible to get feedback on the success or otherwise of the conversion. Converting diesels to dual-fuel is still in its infancy; it's not like converting a petrol engine where there is plenty of experience over a long time, so tread carefully when thinking of doing it.

• Don't convert

  LPG specialists tell me the 4.0-litre Pathfinder is one you don't want to convert. I am told the catalytic converters are close to the cylinder heads, the insert gets brittle and disintegrates, then tends to damage the engine.
