Yes chains are terrible. Front lower radiator supports are the worse area's on them to rust. Expect mid 30's when running well which wont be for long.

1.5l gearboxes are very weak so it's probably that assuming the engine mounts and gearbox linkages are ok.Starts to get hard changing gears then either the gears cant be selected or/and the gearbox starts to get very noisy before exploding to bits.

Welcome along fella.

The only time the handbrake light comes on is when the handbrake is lifted up and applied or when the brake fluid is low.It does NOT come on with the ignition turned to live etc .

Replace it.I've had the same issue with one of mine.

Incredible stuff :cool::cool:

Nissan for around a tenner.Or use one similar from a hardware place.

DCi FTW!

Pull back the rubber on the sensor and lube it up, then work it a few times and reinstall it.

Looking good!

A 1.5 almera would be a ideal first car.As mentioned chains do go and cause misfiring and the gearboxes just as bad on the 1.5's so would be wise to go for a test drive when you ready listening for any unwanted noises and hard to select gears. Giving it a full service would be the best way to...

You can clearly see the wear marks from the chain slack on the gear teeth.

My mistake.qg15's 2002 onwards got VVT.I take it where the extra 10bhp comes from then.

I've got a well modded p11 gt and it's quick (170bhp dyno ) and the qg18 is still quicker to 4k in any gear at any time.After 4k however the sr is a animal and totally kills the qg18. Qg engine better for daily.Sr the better engine in terms of strength and durability and more suited for the...

Expensive to run...Compared to what? I don't think it is given engine size or I would not be running one. As I've already said it's not underpowered either.More than enough for a daily. Can easily sit at 100MPH no probs and still pulls hard. It's Reliable as most once the cam chain is done and...
