Cracking looking motors but being petrol, they’re gutsy b*****ds. I believe they were due to bring out a new diesel engined CX5 last year though. Yeh, I was looking into the fuel economy. TBH we rarely drive on the motorway here and other than visiting my in-laws up in the mountains it'll be used mainly for commuting in the city. 5 hours ago, Honest Saints Fan said: @Rugster has the CX5. He won't let me drive it it's a very nice car though. @Ross. <<<Can't delete! They do look great. Spacious too! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Cx5 is a superb car. Chock full of gadgets great to drive, comfy and spacious. I’d definitely recommend it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No isofix in the middle. Thankfully I’ll never have to do that. Don’t take my word for it though just incase. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HTG Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Help! My daughter's 2013 Yaris apparently needs a new accelerator throttle body at a cost of 900 plus VAT for the part so about 1400 to get fitted. The accelerator packed in earlier in the week but worked again when I went to tow it home. Should I keep the car and pay the price, try and source a part on Ebay, get rid of the car if I can keep the engine warning light off long enough (was on, now not on). Horns of a dilemma for someone as tight as me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welshbairn Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 My Nissan Note is going through its annual service and MOT, and got a phone call to say they couldn't change the brake fluid as the nipple had broken off, and they'd have to send off for a new cylinder, but it would pass the MOT without. They haven't quoted a price, but what roughly should I be looking at for parts and labour, and would changing the whole cylinder be necessary? Also should it be covered by a standard extended warranty? Any info would be handy before I haggle, I'm clueless about this and want them to think I'm not. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said I don't know what they mean by nipple on a master cylinder. Calipers have nipples for bleeding brake fluid, the master cylinder just has the connections for the brake lines. Think the girl who told me on the phone got a bit confused, one of the wheel's bleed nipple snapped and it will need a new wheel cylinder, but not for 2 years till the next brake fluid change, the other 3 wheels are fine. £210 to pay in 2022 was the quote. Apart from that, rear window wiper needed changing, that's it, not bad for 2012 reg. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbh you'd be as well getting the whole caliper replaced, it won't be a lot more than that.

He maybe has drum brakes so itll be wheel cylinders and not calipers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
