If you look at the back of the wheel there is normally a slot or a pocket in between each stud hole which would mean no cutting studs. (There are on mine anyway) You can do what you have suggested of course, but it sounds like extra work..

Just put on a set of 4 hub centric spacers.20 or 25mm. Not too expensive, fully safe and legal unless you live in Australia.

Going back on topic, yes, the speed sensor wire where it enters the instrument cluster can be cut and a switch put in. It will stop the speedometer and cruise control too. You will need to browse the workshop manual for your model to check which wire. Going back off topic, living in Europe I...

Great progress.

The V9x fan clutch can fail, it just needs replacing, not cheap. As for the intercooler, it's not repairable. It also needs replacing, don't get a Nissan one as it will fail again. Forefront in Australia make a very good quality welded intercooler, luckily they are available in most countries...

I don't know if you know how it works, when the oil filter is unscrewed there is a small tray to catch the oil which then has a pipe draining the excess through the radiator cross member. If you unscrew it too quickly the tray overspills.... There's also a couple of little hoses from behind the...

Most likely your intercooler has sprung a leak. Remove the panel under the radiator and you will probably find an oil stain on the intercooler.

The problem has been linked to poor manufacturing of the crankshaft. Very much the same issue with the Discovery (another French engine, also known as Lion and in the new Wildtrack too) I hear the same company made both crankshafts.

You don't have a dpf on your Australian spec V6. It looks like a DPF, but it isn't.

It sounds like you have the wrong harness, do the other plugs match? Are there any part number stickers on the harness?

Mine was like this from new. I'm guessing designed to take up some flex.

A nice engine choice is the VQ3.7. It doesn't suffer the timing chain issues as the VQ4.0 and has plenty of tuning capacity too.

Sorry, my mistake, I didn't look closely enough at the photos, they are both the same.

The black one is the face lifted version of the silver one. On the facelift the panels forwards of the windscreen are all different including the headlights and grille. So yes, you can swap any single panel from the windscreen back and the interior. For the front you would have to swap the...

That would work, great to have somebody in the area with that level of skills. There was no Japanese model, but the majority of the electronics are made by Denso who are a Japanese company.

Yes, either the sensor or the sensor needs resetting. (Ign on, ign off, lock vehicle from the outside, wait 5 mins and go back again) It's the same process for resetting the EGR valve to its zero value btw.

Mechanically it is a straightforward job assuming you are keeping the same transmission type (manual vs auto). As above the complete engine will not include things like the diesel fuel filter, boost control solenoid which you would need to source. Engine control is another matter. Really...

The other potential issue is the sound deadening and rubber section around the gearstick. They can slip and stop the garment moving fully.

I have just replaced the EGR valve, the P0408 code kept coming up. Quite a simple job, apart from one bolt that I could only turn one click at a time with an 8mm ratchet spanner. I reckon about 350 clicks to undo it. As with my previous post 250k Kms with hardly any soot build up, so it seems...

And don't forget that as you get older your eyes are less able to adjust quickly as well as having poorer night vision. If you are old enough, you can remember when halogens first came out. They turned night into day. (Or so we thought)
