Hi, I have a problem. My Nissan Sunny fb 14 automatic, takes a long time to engage the D gear after a stop of 4-5 hours or an overnight. There is no sign of ATF leak, gear missing or any kind of sound from the Gear Box.
For moving forward, either I have to keep engine in ideal RPM for 4-5 minutes before engaging D or after starting the engine, engage D and wait for 4-5 minutes. If I engage D earlier than that, the car will remain as if in N Gear. For the R gear no issues at all at any time.
After the car has traveled around 1 to 2KMS, the problem completely goes away and if I shift back to N and back to D again, it will take only a 1 sec delay.
To get the car moving quickly, I have to engage initially 2nd or 1st then 3rd gear finally D and drive it approximately 1KM before the D works.
This problem did not come suddenly. It has been getting worse over the last 2 years, and initially it happened only after an overnight stop in cold season. Now it happens every morning or after a stop of 4-5 hours. The colder the engine is, the longer it takes to get D engaging.
Officially joined the thel-hinganna normie horde with ....drumroll... a 2025 Vezel... I am eagerly anticipating joining the 'thel keeyak karanawada' debates at almsgivings.
Recently, got the opportunity to see and get inside of The one and only Japanese V12, Toyota Century(a.k.a Japanese Rolls Royce). Is it really upto Rolls Royce standards? Nope, I don't think so. Items like Switches and mirror housings are in plastic. But, we can be assured that the dashboard will not light up like Christmas and would run forever....
...and just like that from having parking space issues a few month's back I'm car-less.
The cost of renting something for a month or two (even more - personal imports have been quite messy of late) made me wonder if it actually makes sense to buy a quickly disposable car and get rid of it in a couple of months - but it seems the 'popular' models aren't moving. A few messages to sellers (registered owners) on marketplace resulted in them sending me daily price reduction updates.
Sleepless nights have begun. I'm twisting between SL320 and SL500. Should I just pay additional 2000 euros more and go for the SL500 and go broke or settle with a SL320?
