Brad, I had to steal your Car(Hilux), needed some transport after my Patrol Broke.

Driving home and heard a strange noise from the Turbo, high pitched whistle then grating noise, rang the roadside assist asked them what they wanted me to do?
They said baby it home, well after another 10klms lots of smoke and some pretty serious noises, I called it quits!
The tow truck driver said that looks pretty new!
1200 klms!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Blown Turbo!!!!!!

Should have bought a new Tourag!

Cheers
Darryl:mad:

Saw one a while ago heading down to the snow billowing smoke much as you described, also very new looking?

if u contact nissan they may do the generous thing and replace it free of charge.we bought a toyota landcruiser...had it for 2 months, parked it on top of a hill, and the gradient of the hill tipped the landcruiser over and it rolled down
just ask them nicely and see what you can acheive
cheers
