I have a Diesel Toyota Carina with Automatic Gears
recently I got this problem when I am trying to start the vehicle
earlier it started when the Gear rod is at " Paring Position" or at " Neutral Positions"
now when I try to start sometimes (even though the gear Rod position is either neutral or parking) it do not start but gives a click sound (equivalent to the sound u get when u try to start when the gear rod is in Drive or reverse Mode) . I have to move the gear rod slightly (randomly) and then it starts
I feel that this should be a contact issue between the Gear rod and the circuit or is it some thing else
Restoring a 90's Diesel.
Gentlemen, What are your thoughts on doing a soft-resto on an unhacked Nissan SB14 that has been sitting around for 8 years?
1997 car registered in 2000. Manual gears, 2L CD20 diesel. Single owner -Decased. Family who are known to me - dont use it. Unhacked body and almost pristine interior. Clean body lines, no accidents. Complete car and appears untouched by makabasses. Engine shows signs of under-compression, brakes and clutch-plate need replacing, tyres are on the brink of decomposing. Power mirrors do not work. Needs a paint job. No major corrosion but early-stage rust spots on the boot lid.
Nissan might close down operations in 12 -14 months? https://www.carscoops.com/2024/11/nissan-exec-says-we-have-12-or-14-months-to-survive/ Are we going to see more companies shutting down or is this a one off. So much for the new GTR and the new Patrol.
Is there an alternative to the Maruti 800? A friend of mine is looking for an extremely cheap to run and fix car for around 1.5M. While I do advocate old Japanese cars in that budget - if his need is basic A-B motoring at the lowest possible cost - maintenance wise and with fuel - is there any other option that I am forgetting?
