  1. Don't drive it anywhere, get it towed immediately to a trans shop for diagnosis. My trans did exactly the same thing, except I was in the worse place you could be when a trans goes, on the freeway. I could only get 2nd gear and crawled at 50 km/h and I went straight to the transmission shop. $2,500 later I had a recon trans. The mechanic showed me what had happened to the old trans. It looked like Mechatron and Bumblebee had a fight inside, there was metal fragments everywhere. Totally destroyed. I'd never seen anything like it.

  2. Hmm ok. Maybe it's the resistor then. What happens from what I've been told is that the current is actually less when the fan is set to 1 or 4. Leaving the fan set to 2 or 3 can wear the resistor out if you leave the fan on for long periods of time. I remember reading that the resistor can heat up if left in position 2 or 3 for a long time.

  3. How long does it take for the glow plug light to go out? It should be something like 5 - 7 seconds when cold, 1 - 2 seconds after warm up. To me the problem sounds fuel pump related, not fuel filter related. Try draining the fuel pump, there should be a plastic valve underneath the pump that you can turn, it has a small hose attached to it. Put a little container like a coke bottle under it and drain the fuel pump. Then investigate what comes out. There might be dirt or water in the fuel. After draining, actuate the primer again.

  4. I second that comment, fill up the tank again and add methylated spirits to absorb the water. It will come good eventually. I remember once an idiot friend of mine put two stroke oil in my fuel tank. Every once in a while, big clouds of smoke came out, which was embarrassing. Then one day I was on the freeway and I had big clouds of smoke coming out then it just stopped, because the two stroke oil finally went through the fuel line for the last time. Then after that it didn't smoke anymore. I got my friend back by putting raspberry jelly into his vents in front of his hood, so that when he went for a drive, his car smelt like Little miss strawberry cheescake. It took him a few months to get rid of that sickly smell!

  5. For the dash removal look up on youtube "Nissan Terrano led dashboard upgrade" it can be removed with a screwdriver and is quite easy to pry off the panels. Just follow the instructions on the video and you'll find it very easy to do. The main thing is you have to take the ignition cover off otherwise it's impossible to get the speedometer out. If you need to remove the speedometer there is three connectors you just squeeze the connector and pull out.

  6. This just goes to show that proper preparation of the work surface must be done before installing such a big item. It's like having a wooden floor surface and just applying the lacquer over all the saw dust. Sure it's sealed, but will look like crap.
