Le Grande Dame is very poorly...
Just had news back from Nissan Dealer with full diagnostic check.
Code P0340
ABS code C1130
Apparently my main timing chain is stretched (should be 10mm, is 16-17mm). They've said I need a new timing chain kit and it will cost £1500 - £1600. Which I don't have.
I've read through various threads about the cam sensor code. Is it possible the wool could be getting pulled over my eyes regarding the "replacement of the timing chain kit".
I've had issues like this before, i.e. wool getting pulled over my eyes, I'm blonde and female and they can see me coming!!
What do you think. Background to Cholula going to the garage. Came out of works car park on Wednesday night, turned left, stalled the engine, car started again, just thought it was me! About 5 minutes down the road, car stalled while driving. Was it me, was I having a bad day. Stopped and had a chat to the other half on the phone. Checked the battery was connected - was ok.
Drove home, everything alright. Went into Asda. Stopped the car. Started her up again. Stuttered, bit rough, but started. Thought I'd get the shopping and let her cool off. Back to car about 20 mins later. Started her up - stuttered, bit rough, but started. Malfunction indicator light on, ESP off light on and TCS light on.
Drives alright (although I've been driving her like Driving Miss Daisy), except for a bit rough starting, 3 lights as above on all the time.
What are your thoughts?
I've been looking for a Nissan Specialist in Scotland that can do the work - or at least look at it, without fleecing me.
