I would like someone to take ownership of this issue before I have no option than to take legal action. Our Nissan Navara has been with Lookers Carlisle since 8/9. The vehicle had been taken into the dealer on 3 occasions whilst in warranty to investigate bad starting/ idling issues, but according to them there was no fault...when the situation got much worse, I contacted Nissan UK who advised the first step was to have it " properly diagnosed" by the dealer before they could get involved ( despite it being apparently diagnosed previously on 3 occasions! ) it was booked in on 8/9 and within an hour the master technician came out to say " this is a mechanical fault not electrical as I first thought " and explained in detail that the injectors were dumping fuel back in when the vehicle was turned off so was having to burn off that fuel which in his own words " would explain the bad starting and idling issues " Eureka ..at last someone who knows his job we thought. I have evidence of each visit and the technicians findings on each of the visits...yet today during a conversation with the service manager he told me he has no record of any of this !!?? or a new battery being fitted on the first visit !! I have now been told that Nissan UK will pay 50% of the cost of new injectors with the remaining £2400 to be paid for by us !!! They FAILED to diagnose the faulty injectors when the vehicle was in warranty. If the full cost of this work is not covered by Nissan or Lookers we have no option but to instruct a solicitor to commence legal action. The vehicle was bought new from the dealership, paid for outright and has been fully serviced by them and covered just 44500 miles, has never been used as a work vehicle and never had anything but premium fuel in the tank. I have enough to deal with as my wife is currently awaiting major heart surgery and this has gone on too long. I even have evidence of previous faults codes simply being cleared, and the vehicle damaged on two occasions whilst under the so called care of the garage. I want this resolved and our vehicle returned running as it should do, not as it has done over the past two years. Colin Bryers. Nissan Navara LB05 OLB ( original reg ND69 AXJ.

I understand that the customer has spoken with site directly to arrange for the vehicle to be returned for this to be rectified, this work has been scheduled for the 18/09. However, due to the issue with the vehicle, this cannot be driven and as such they are incurring fees for a hire vehicle whilst this is off road.The client is asking for compensation due to the poor workmanship, and has specifically asked for the Dealership to cover the hire vehicle cost that they are currently incurring.As it stands, the cost for the hire is £1,440.60 inc VAT.
