I've never used shock oil on my 15 year old Fielder. I bought it foreign used in 2014 and have put over 130,000 km on it since then. I've never had to change any suspension parts, and last month when I had it checked, they told me only the shock mounts and rear shocks will need replacing soon.

What issues were you having with the poly bushings that caused you to revert to rubber?

NP motor oil got a bad name back in the mid-1980s with it's "Superlube" line of oil. That oil came out around the same time Japanese front-wheel drive cars hit our local market. The engines in those cars had exhaust manifolds fitted to the front, causing hot air to blow onto the engines wh...

The smart head that came with my Pentax pump from Water source in 2006 lasted me until 2015 with almost daily useage.

Good day members. I'm looking for a set of Pajero rims for my 1996 Pajero. I'd prefer OEM, but I'd also consider aftermarket that resembles the OEM. Thanks in advance for any responses.

While my compressor was being installed a woman with a 2 year old Kia Sportage came in to have her gas pressures checked. The a.c. tech told me he had to replace her evaporator a few days ago ..... 2 years old, imagine that. My co-worker had to replace his Nissan Sylphy evaporator after 3-1/2 years....

Since no one answered my question I went ahead and took the chance and got the compressor pictured above and it worked out great. It's a direct bolt on, the only modification needed was to heat the clamp on one of the lines and turn it around plus slightly straighten out the same line a bit. Althoug...

Is this the compressor being used to replace the one with the troublesome internal valve on the 2008 Fielder?

trinimark

Yes, I have one and that's all I use. I tried a tankful of premium once and felt no difference whatsoever nor was there any difference in mpg.

Thanks

What does flipside sell the flare kit or the headlights or the windscreen? And what price?

trinimark

I'm certain I answered this question on this forum before. The answer is super.

trinimark

I've been looking for the flare kit myself, but I don't think the roof rails will attach if the car didn't come with it.

No problem, share with us the verdict.

Sounds like you need to take it to an electrician, it could be a blown actuator or a loose connection.

How much fluid did it take to refill?

trinimark

Hmm, that could actually be the alternator's magnetic field.

Anybody know where I can get a set of used factory alloys for a pcn yaris? Or even a set of steel with caps?

If the car idles high after a diy tb cleaning simply disconnect the +ve batt terminal for 60 seconds and reconnect. Of course clock and stereo preferences will have to be reset (no scan tool needed for that).

trinimark

Why can't you clean your tb yourself?

trinimark

I'm not certain cus I never had the problem myself. I'll ask him tomorrow and post what info I glean.

trinimark

A co worker of mine had the same problem and took his to massy. It turned out there's a cabin air sensor that automatically switches the system to fresh air when the air quality is at a certain CO2 level. Well that's what they told him.

Sorry I failed to mention that I use Mobil1 10W-30 or 5W-30 when I can get it, and the factory Nissan oil filter.

trinimark

Advancement in engine materials and engine oil technology over the years has led to less contamination and slower break down, so the oil lasts much longer. Some manufacturers even recommend 2 filter changes and 1 oil change PER YEAR. I'll stick to 10,000km to 12,000km though.

trinimark

Oil and filter change every 10, 000 km, iridium spark plugs and genuine Nissan coolant change at 100, 000 km, air filter, tb and injectors as needed. Run a redline fuel system cleaner in your tank every 5000 km and you shouldn't have to touch you injectors often.
