Nissan Problems

It’s a pretty standard offer, and while I agree that the heater core should last longer your car is five years old, it’s out of the factory warranty period. I would take the offer and move on.

It would be worth having a mechanic check it for you. It could simply need a tune up, new plugs, plug leads, clean of the throttle body, or idle adjustment.

It’s possible water has got into something in the engine bay when you were cleaning it, and I doubt it would come good just by driving it. Get it to a dealer or mechanic to have it checked.

You should have an auto electrician check the operation, it could simply be a connection in the wiring loom affecting both the windows and the seat.

The Elgrand is quite reliable and at 100,000 km or so verified by the auction house should give you good service for some time to come.

You should have it checked to see if the rust has affected the structure of the car, as that would impact its roadworthiness and slash the resale value.

The Navara would seem to fit your requirements, there’s no reason not to go for it. Another one would be the Toyota HiLux.

It sounds like a problem with the turbo or the fuel pump. Get it to a diesel mechanic and have it checked.

Try gently releasing the clutch while you’re holding the lever in the reverse position. It’s probably an adjustment issue, it could be a clip that’s broken, and nothing serious. I would take it to a mechanic who should be able to tell you exactly what is wrong with it.

It could be the battery; it could be the fuel pump. I had a similar problem that turned out to be a blown head gasket, so it could be worth doing a leak test.
