Hi all i work for Nissan and we had a navara in for lack of power, turned out it needed a vacum pump.
This is what it looked like once the pump was removed. Its crazy. That is alot of bits lol, i felt for my tech.

totally agree with you there.


that looks like a impossible geometric shape illustrated by MC Escher.... bet if you put your hand in one bit it would come out somehwere else and slap you in the face!

good luck with that oversized RC kit!

Renault take the front bumper off their cars to change the light bulbs.

french thinking.... too much wine on the assembly line!

Nah, you can change the bulbs without taking the bumper off, bit fiddly and it hurts but it can be done. Ive had the engine in and out of my laguna 4 times over the last 2 months, at first I thought, do I really want to do this. I was surprised how simple it is. Can probably change the engine in 4 hrs now lol that's on axle stands on the drive.

WOW well done with the engine in and out they are ok and thats on a ramp with air tools lol. what laguna u got i have worked for renault for 7 years any probs or any bits you want pm me and i can get some discount for you.
That goes for all the members hear.

2001 laguna 3.0 v6 24v, right bare with me it's a bit long winded, I put diesel in it, any way the piston rings went. Couldn't be bothered with it so i bought a freelander, which before any one says any thing has never let me down lol. So about 2 months ago I decided to buy a engine and 2nd hand cat and just change it. eBay here I come. Ordered it and it came. Fitted it. Started it. BANG. Gutted. Took the heads off found a smashed piston. The guy who sold it to me swears blind it wasn't him but I was so careful covering intakes etc I know it wasn't me. No luck with him so it was £269 plus oil plus filters plus coolent ect down the pan. So now I have nothing to loose I took the engine out stripped both and put the remaining good pistons in the worn one fitted it, started fine took it for a drive and hey presto it's burning water, back out to change the head gaskets, fitted again and it started burning oil again, So stuck to one side before it destroyed the 2nd hand cat which cost £200 and thought about setting fire to it cos I'd had a guts full. Then some one told me about a good breakers yard



in thame, ams I think it was. Bought another engine from them with only 34 k on it for £350 It came with everything. Manifolds coils throttle body the lot. Got it back checked it for bolts ! Fitted it. And wahoo started first time no problems. Goes even better than before. Just waiting till the end of this month to tax the freelander to sell that and mot and tax the laguna and have that back on the road. Plus I bought my sj in the meantime which is in many many bits at the minute lol. Sorry about the length of this but it is a long story. Lol
