Weāve had one for 6 years; no problem with injectors so far and weāre at about 130k milesā¦
However, when we bought it at around 90k miles the dealer produced paperwork showing that the gearbox had been replaced recently - Iād heard this was a problem.
So we bought it and 3 months later the gearbox went Turned out the receipt heād showed us was for another van.
His response was āsorry, itās out of warrantyā. So we replaced the gearbox (about Ā£1600), and took him to court; at arbitration we said weād accept Ā£1000 from him, as heād mis-sold and mis-described the van He maintained it was out of warranty and offered nowt.
In court the judge found heād mis-sold the van, awarded us the Ā£1600 plus Ā£500 costs and expensesā¦ The dealer didnāt appear to understand the concept of mis-selling (surely thatās the same as selling?)!
And beware, thereās a Nissan and Renault van that are exactly the same. Though itās possible theyāve fixed the dodgy gearboxes by now.

At least he was honest then; just stupid!
I almost felt sorry for him when I saw his little face fall when he realised heād have saved a grand if heād gone along with arbitrationā¦
However, the fucker refused to pay so I had to send him a ānotice of terminationā which explained that court-appointed bailiffs would turn up and his costs would spiral. He paid up.

You have to wonder after all these years and all there design experience they could fuck up a gear box?
Every vehicle will have parts which only just cope with the rated output (power or torque/cylinder pressure). Uprating an engine through a model life can mean that previously adequate parts now arenāt.
And they should be aware of this.

Given the way you have structured this reply, I assume it is in the form of a limerick.
Unfortunately itās crap and neither rhymes nor scans.

Far be it from me to subscribe to conspiracy theory ā¦ butā¦ I suspect van manufacturers are only interested in building to last the initial 3 or 4 year hammering of the lease brigade.
As long as it sees out that period with the minimum fuss, then when individuals like Leonard, Stu and I ( the engine room of the country, if you will) come along, its not a priority. Im sure of it.
My gearbox was made by Ferrero Rocher.
