Don't Buy a Nissan

I bought a second hand Nissan 4*4 Diesel to pull my Hobby caravan around.

Couldn't have asked for a better car - however, the electronic instrument panel failed about 6 weeks ago. No speedo, no mileometer, no temperature gauge, no fuel gauge making the vehicle illegal to drive on our roads.

No problem I thought - the garage however, had told different story. The panel could not be rectified - a new one would need to be purchased from the Nissan Spares Department and they thought there would be a delivery problem as they had prior experience of ordering parts from Nissan.

OK - the part was ordered 6 weeks ago promised for delivery on the 26th October. Nothing appeared - no apology from Nissan. On enquiry Nissan reported the part wasn't now available till the end of November.

The 4*4 will be off the road for 2 months even IF this new delivery promise is realised.

The Nissan might be a good tow car - but Nissan customer service is dismal.

If Nissan really care about caravan users of their vehicles, give me a ring on 07850 417911 and get the part to my garage. The reg no. of the vehicle is L20 JKB.

I will keep club members informed to my progress.
