Hi all
I've just bought a 2005 Nissan Almera with 77k on the clock and a full years mot. I'm heading to pick the car up tonight.
I'm heading back to Nissan ownership after 2 years of owning a Fiat that has been fraught with problems.
Only one thing I am worried is the timing chains on these cars. I have had a read on the internet and the seem to be a problem on some cars, so I have a few questions on the timing chains.
Is it worth replacing the timing chain now that I have bought the car - I plan on giving it a full service in the next week or so.
When is it worth changing the timing chain? I owned a K11 micra previously and took it up to 84,000 without a timing chain replacement, I know the current owner of the car now and it has done just done over 100,000 with the original timing chain.
Cheers
Ryan
