I pursued the Nissan CS option but they weren't going to admit liability or assist with the repair. They just stated it was out of warranty and my mileage was high.

Scrapping is the option I chose.

I'm still miffed that a car that's always been serviced by Nissan has failed.

Could it perhaps have been the known issue with 1.2 engines where a faulty piston installed in chamber 3 was causing the timing chain bit of the engine to be starved of oil, causing rattles. A lot of us had our engines replaced due to this.
