Nissan Problems

The short answer is yes, but you would need to get another wheel to mount the new spare tyre on, and you might have to think about where you might carry it in the car.

 Just like many other small urban runabout vehicles, Nissan's Cube is not designed to pull trailers. Their small engines don't make enough torque to pull loads without straining, and their suspension isn't designed for heavy weights.

Nissan's quirky mini-MPV, the Cube, is built in Nissan's Oppama plant, located in the Yokosuka prefecture.

There is nothing to suggest the diesel is a problem, and I would question your mechanic’s advice. The high fuel pressure of today’s diesels can result in worn injectors and they can cost upwards of $2000 to replace. Other than that there’s nothing to be overly concerned about.

It’s mounted at the inlet of the intake manifold.

The chances are it will get worse, and leaving it is likely to make the repair more expensive when you finally have to do it. Find out what is causing it and fix it.

Nissan's Cube has become a popular grey import in Australia thanks to its cheap price, quirky looks and practical nature. However, a lack of commonly available spare parts can make the Cube a frustrating car to have repaired when parts fail or wear out. Unless you're a real Nissan Cube fan I'd shop for a Toyota bB, or Kia Soul.

Are you trading simply because the nearest Ford dealership is two hours away? If that is the case, I would suggest you look at other service options locally, and think about having it serviced closer to home. It is five years old after all, so sticking with the dealer is not as important as it would be if the car were newer. If you are determined to trade I would suggest, in order, the Toyota, Nissan, Kia and Holden. All build cars of a similar quality and reliability to the Ford.

You would like to think it is accurate. Check the speed using a GPS, and then adjust the overspeed setting to compensate for whatever error it shows.

It could be due to bad fuel. Run it out as best you can, or drain the tank, and refill with fresh fuel from another servo, preferably one that sells a lot of fuel so you can be confident the fuel is fresh.

If it still does it then look for other causes, such as fuel filter, fuel pump, air filter, throttle body, spark plugs.
