Bloody hell! A new short motor rebuilt with parts from a duff engine that had a broken crank :?: F*****g amateurs :!:
If they aren`t going to pay for repairs tell them you are going to seek legal advice immediately.A good second hand engine for a couple of grand or so 700 hundred in labour and you can have your truck back on the road,under no circumstances give the Nissan stealer 12k

I would reject the vehicle, i think that's your best option under the circumstances.
Sounds like they have really taken the pee

Absolutely agree, but I woild be lookign for a brand new engine from Nissan.
Get yourself an independent engineer. Will cost you £3-500 he will help you enormously as you are not an expert (ie you are not expected to know that the timing chain should have been changed, Nissan are). He wil report, guide you all along, and if you speak nicely to him he may monitor them during repair so that they actually do what a)needs doing, and b) what they say they are doing.
If you need a number for someone, pm me.

I can't see why not?, if it's not fit for purpose etc, i'd at least get some legal advice mate. You could give citizens advice a call, they'll put you straight on your options, whatever happens i hope you get it sorted out :wink:steve-windows said:
