So after a 3 week wait, a new engine and turbo was fitted into the car. We took it for a spin last Sunday and the new engine went into melt down. Warning signs saying engine stop start system coming up. Chassis system control failure. The salesman said he was just going to cut his losses and send it...

Thanks for all the feedback

With the 1.5 diesel, am I right in thinking it is belt driven? How often would that need changing. Cars I am looking at are 14/15 plates. Wouldn't want to have to fork out for a cambelt change a year after buying it. Or do they just replace them on mileage?

Hi all I took a 1.2 acenta premium out for a test drive at a nissan dealer and loved it. Had previously been out in a sportage, which just didn't feel as nice. They had a 2014 1.2 acenta premium in nightshade that had just come in that day. Was told if I put a deposit down they would reserve it for ...
