Jeez, cars are expensive where you live -- €7,300 could get you four R50s where I live, LOL. Anyway, the car looks like it’s been taken care of. I’m not too sure about rust issues since it doesn’t snow or rain much where I live, so maybe someone else can give better insight on that. What I would look out for is whether it still has the original engine. A known problem with the R50 is the butterfly valve screws on the power valves they can come loose, fall into the engine, and completely destroy it (happened to me… RIP). You can read more about that issue here: https://forums.nicoclub.com/threadlocker-on-power-valve-screws-pics-t304263.html Also, check for: White smoke from the exhaust Whether the transmission shifts through all 4 gears Functionality of the 4x4 system General wear and tear: CV boots, bushings, bearings, etc. Any power steering leaks - listen for pump noise when turning the wheel, and check if there’s any ATF fluid under or on the car Check how the car idles and if it holds temp Hope that helps

I had a similar issue, and the culprit turned out to be a loose wire, the one that connects to the blower connector. I used some hot glue to hold it in place, and that solved the problem.

TBH, take my advice with a grain of salt since I don’t have the same engine. But in my experience, 99% of my car’s shifting problems were caused by a faulty transmission control module and none of the faults showed up when scanning with OBD2. If you have a friend with the same car, try swapping the TCM and see if the problem goes away.

I’m not sure about the light controls, but as for the window control switch, they use LEDs — at least on mine. However, the LEDs are soldered directly onto the control board, so you’d need to desolder them and install proper replacements. Also, if you decide to go ahead with it, be cautious when removing the plastic housing, as it’s easy to damage the inner plastic switch mechanism.
