Cool, i wonder if Milner sell those seals, could order the UJ's at the same time and get it all fited, then clean the oil off :afro:

Why do that mate when you have warranty on the truck? :scratch:

Would the UJ's be covered? Thought that would be wear and tear.

I suppose it depends on milage mate, but why not take it in? :wink:

To be perfectly honest i have absolutely no faith in them down at Westway, there is not one true mechanic down there :roll: It cost me 46 quid for front and rear UJ and pinion seal, proper mechanic down the road will fit it all for 60 quid, money well spent and its a proper job done.

I had two uj's done under warranty. Having said that when I had to do one myself after warranty was out it looked like the Nissan Numpties had done a wee bit of damage to my propshaft yokes (the alloy is pretty soft!) so you may be right to trust it with your own mechanic who knows what he is doing!!

That was my point and my fear, fine if they fitted a new prop, but i just get the feeling that stripping old UJ's and fitting new is out of their league...**** poor when you think about it as a basic mechanical job :roll: Im just going from past experience with the dealer here, when you ak the service desk or the main 'mechanic' questions it draws blank expressions :? Ask them about tuning and you may as well be talking in Taiwanise :lol:

They had my old truck in 3 times because my rear lights failed, 1st visit they said it was because of a bad earth on the tow bar, it had to fail 2 more times with the same bad earth untill they fixed it ***, even i know how to make a good connection :roll:

Yeah I know what you mean, I have enjoyed this past year as my truck is out of warranty, now if something is wrong you just get on and fix it properly rather than taking it to see the numpties, for them to tell you what you already knew but that you will have to bring it back in when they have the time/parts/can be ***** to fix it :(

Having said that I am having a real battle with myself just now as I cant get it out of my head that I 'need' a brand new one! Also convincing myself that I need a Tekna with sat nav, maybe auto as well. Will be a bit of a step up as I only have a SE just now :whistle:

Im happy with my 08 Aventura, ill bring up the finish as it should be with my polishing skills, as for the mechanical side with my last nav out of warranty ill stick to what i did then. Fit uprated non Nissan parts that last and are fitted by people that know how to. Expensive stuff and ill get it done under warranty :salute:

Yip good plan i would say. The pics of your last truck were amazing. After about 6 months mine always look like what it is......a dirty smelly work truck :( I do try and keep them nice but I haven't got the discipline :roll:

Do you think the silver would be the best colour for someone who is very lazy/hopeless at looking after the paintwork?
