  1. Reminds of the time I bought my Vrs. Dealer advertised 'Cambelt done' - just forgot to say that it was 4 years previous!!
  2. Yeah, you're right, I just thought someone on here may have had some experience of them.
  3. Just asking this question here.... I have a chance to buy a 2007 Nissan Serena Highway Star 8 seater 2.0 ltr Auto. It is an import. I just wondered if anyone on here has experience of them e.g vehicle tax cost & insurance costs. Will still have the VRS but this would be more for family trips away......
  4. Yeah, switched the fuse with another 15A one and still no luck. Looks like I may have to replace it
  5. Hi, I accidentally set a screwdriver in the cigarette lighter and there was a small spark. Since then the lighter has not worked. Fuse is ok and it still lights up - do I need to completely replace it? Suspect i do but wanted to ask anyway.......
  6. I put the trigger gun right up against the gap and went very slowly around, going quite high up either side. I then ran my finger (dipped in a little fairy liquid) around gently smoothing and pushing slightly into the gap. I have done 3 doors on two Fabias....and all still hopefully OK.
  7. Lets hope she does another 100,000 as trouble-free.......
  8. Are you never back in UK because that seems expensive for a belt change, unless you are getting a full service at same time?
  9. Congrats on the new car....health to drive and enjoy!!
  10. I done mine (vrs) yesterday using a Pela 6000 extractor. There was more than enough tubing for my car and I assume it should reach down in most cars. I have read a lot from people being sceptical about how much oil is actually extracted, I have to say that I had to put 4.3ltrs of new oil in, so it must have got as much out as removing the sump plug. I did the change after driving 20 miles and the oil was quite hot and fluid.
  11. I read a post recently which had a video/walkthrough of user doing an oil change on a Fabia (VRS?). - they may have used an oil extractor. I have searched for it but can't find it, anyone have a link to it?
  12. Thanks, it's just I seen the pads from supplier with and without cables so seems safe enough to buy just the basic sensorless pads
