Just got my trike buying budget up to a reasonable amount ... Nissan needs a new clutch. All well and good .......

Got the covers off the underside and discovered the front cross member is nearly gone --- eaten by the rust bug    Looking down from the top looks like a coating of surface rust ... looking up from underneath there is no cross member -- just that coating of surface rust!!!!!

So .... trike budget has to be diverted ( yet again!!!) to a new set of 4 wheels

Don't a lot of Nissans suffer with the cross member problem? Tunnie I think said his Almera had it?

That would figure -- rest of the car is solid

no sign of it of the Nissan we have, think it was cruisetopoland? Who has personal experience of it. Found Nissan's rarely go wrong, but when they do its expensive, £300 for an ABS sensor

Ah well -- had this one 4 years ( longest I have ever kept a car!) and it's only really cost me an alternator, a couple of tyres ( and a light bulb) over routine stuff.

HC you can pick up replacement X-members for around £35 and it's a days work to replace them. Done about 11 of them now
