    Problems with new 2010 GU Patrol not starting

    We purchase a new 2010 Nissan Patrol GU Diesel automatic. It has just complete 9000 km and we are having problems with it starting. Nissan roadside assist has been called out twice. Now the vehcile has been at a Nissan Dealer since last Monday and they can't work out what is wrong with it. Any ideas anyone. We are starting to get a little peeved as we are stuck in a town on holidays with no transport. It is not the switch between park & neutral. You have to keep sliding and wriggling the gear lever to get it started.

    Could be so many reasons unfortunately Stumpy.

    Have you checked anything yourself for common problems?

    I'm sure the dealer has gone through the first initial checks such as...

    Checking the Fuel Filter (could also just replace it anyway, never know?)
    Checking the Fuses,
    Checking the Fuel cutoff solenoid,
    Checking Earths on the wiring, etc

    Also check glow plugs for power at the rail, you could also crack an injector line and see if fuel is coming out maybe?

    Definatly first thing, check for fuel at the injectors.

    Also, this is going to sound funny, but have you tried fired it up with the spare key?

    We are currently on holidays and the spare key is about 2500km away. The Nissan Dealer has had the car since last Monday and they can't seem to find the fault. They have been taking parts from another vehicle and swapping them around.
    We have asked that they ring Nissan Techs in Melbourne on Monday. They can get it going and then you go to start it 20minutes later and it want go.

    You mentioned above that you have to slide and wiggle the gear lever to get it started.

    When it doesn't start does the engine turn over or nothing at all?

    Almost sounds like issues with the auto not allowing ignition.

    When you mentioned you have to slide and wiggle the gear lever to get it started.

    Have the Nissan Techs been called? Would love to see what they say???
