Olly350z Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 How does the car feel now pal? Been sneakily watching this and was waiting for the transport blocks to get mentioned! What was the garages excuse for this? Such a big nono Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richf Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 Nissan dont care about this issue , if they did it wouldn't keep coming up time and time again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattyp370z Posted February 22, 2017 Author Share Posted February 22, 2017 Well so far the car feels better but I suppose the front has a little catching up to do as far as the springs settled by down. On another note, Nissan don't seem to be too concerned about the problem, but I can gaurentee they will be. It's booked in at my local (not where purchased from) for an inspection. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul K Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 I wonder if Nissan had re-installed the transport pieces for some reason...the previous owner must have had quite a disappointing experience Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattyp370z Posted February 22, 2017 Author Share Posted February 22, 2017 Why would the reinstall them though? Yes I bet he did. The car was nasty to drive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul K Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 Why would the reinstall them though? if they were moving the car from one dealership to another on a transporter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattyp370z Posted February 22, 2017 Author Share Posted February 22, 2017 That hasn't been the case. Will look forward to taking the car to Nissan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5tu Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 I'd observed the same sensation with mine and this was always in the back of my mind but i never got around to checking as i haven't really stretched the car that often to form a definitive conclusion. Blindly thinking that the previous owner would've noticed. Surely Nissan would've checked after selling the same car again....... So inspired by your post i went and checked ..... Of course they were still there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olly350z Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Hiw can this be such a common thing though? Thats what I find baffling. People are spending 15, 20, 25 and 30K upwards and something so routine at any dealership is being overlooked! So much for "servicing" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nissanman312 Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 You won't get extra warranty coverage. Or if you do, I'll buy you a fish and chip supper. I got one when my steering lock failed And then smashed it up pmsl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5tu Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 stu, are they that easy to spot? Yeah they aren't that small, just turn your wheels out on full lock and shine a torch in behind and check out your gloriously 'stiffened' springs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commander Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 +1 for doing at least some DIY on your own car, then you know what's going on at least with the basics... any owner who'd ever taken a wheel off (flat tyre, cleaning, change brake fluid / pads / disks) would have noticed these I'm sure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any advice re how I approach with Nissan will be appreciated Go back to the supplying dealer and ask them when they are going to do the pdi? And then after a gentle nod as to what you have discovered, what do they propose to do to offset their failure to allow you to enjoy the car in the manner for which it was designed, before you contact NissanCustomer Services.

Thanks, the only problem is that the dealer who sold me the car originally has sold up and anothe nissan dealer has purchased the dealership.
