Hi all, I bought a 92 Pintara GLi with 2.0 litre engine 8 days ago not because i was interested in a Pintara b ut more out of the need to get a car quickly, you see i have a Nissan Terrano (Diesel version of Pathfinder), and coming home last thursday nite week from my daughters school fathers day event and still 170km from home the trans in the Terrano died, so i got into Bunbury next morning and decided i needed a car to get me around while fixing the Terrano, i have list of things i want to do to the Terrano so good time to get em done ,,, any way i had a budjet of up to 3 grand and thoght a commodorre would do, so looking around and couldnt find any good looking commodorres for that price but came across a Nissan Pintara for 3 grand in the Ford dealership, just traded, not detailed or anything, looked well looked after, nice clean motor, runs really well,,, and i must admit what a fun car to drive,,, and of course after driving it for a week i started to notice a few things, so a few questions if i may cause i like this car and have decided to keep it, it has a nice straight body and nice clean interior..
I notice the diff is noisy at around 80 to 100 kph, not overly noisy but is noticeable,, how long do they go before the diff expires, hard question to ask i know without hearing it but some members would have an idea.?
I notice also that the fuel pump is noisy, the car goes well, but the pump is noisy, very noticable when the engine is running and even driving up to around 40 kph when the road noise drowns it out, i think i should be on the safe side and fit a new pump, or is this noise normal.?
I notice that when i use the indicators that the lights on the front outside of the vehicle come on ( the ones that look like park lights ), however the park lights are in the head lights so what is this for. i should add the dont flash they are just on.
And i noticed that the odo meter is not working but already find in the tech section the reason for this
So hi to all and what a great site, not mention a great car in the Pintara i have found all due to my trusty 4wd breaking down ( i say trusty because i have it for 4 years and has hi km on it and the trans was always expected by me to be the 1st thing to go)
