The best i can recommend you do is contact the ACCC or the department of Fair Trading in SA or You have The Motor Traders Association (MTA) and inform them of whats happen, they will take the case on...

I totally agree with you Craig, Nissan do get away with a lot. But I very much doubt you can do anything. Good luck though with your efforts. A client of mine is the Department Of Sustainability and...

I did buy a 3l DI, and I love it I have had no Problems at all.
I think broken cranks a very rare.
Do not trust a Nissan Dealer take it some where else.

When I was looking to buy a 3L GU one of the trucks I had a look at had a new engine in it,

The easiest option will be to take the engine and auto out as a single unit, and then try to get them apart.

Even if you manage to pull the sump off the bottom, and find the crank OK, you will...

You can take the sump out with the engine still in the car, sounds like the Nissan dealer wants to take the easy more expensive road. If it does come down to a blown engine definately go for a td42...

Mate get the trans out before making any decision on what the problem is, it may have broken the flex plate allowing the converter to tear up the front seal in the trans,hence trans fluid on the tow...

Yep need some time lines too mate. Was it a new crate engine? Why did it blow?

So it was an old vehicle and you had a new motor put in by the Nissan dealer? or was it a purchased from the dealer with 60000 on it and blew.

What model vehicle?

Sorry to hear though mate
