As mentioned, the steering, after first starting the car, is super hard to turn, and shudders a bit. Once it has been running for several minutes it does improve and drives Ok, however I have noticed it is getting stiffer more recently.
I tried the replacing of fluid exercise using a turkey baster to remove old and add new fluid. This did not seem to make a difference. The old fluid did not look particularly dirty in any event.
Would apptreciate your thoughts. She's been a reliable lady for a long time.
If it is the pump that is failing, can I recondition it somehow, or is it a replacement exercise.
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?
Does anyone know how exactly this is supposed to work? They haven’t really started brand new imports again right?
Pricing seems relatively fine in the grand scheme of things, given how 10/15 year old cars are still pretty expensive in our market
A guy advertises a mileage blocker on the quick site saying that his device blocks the vehicle mileage from changing on the odometer. Is it legal to advertise stuff like this?
