Nissan Primastar 2003

1 star review

I have just bought a Primastar 2003 is the year with 78,000 miles on the clock. I seem to be having problems getting it into gear when it’s cold but when it warms up it goes in OK. I went to a Nissan dealer and I explained the problem and he said that the wrong gear box oil is probably in it, that it is too thick and that is why, when it warms up, the gears will go in easier.

I bought a Nissan Primastar 2 years ago with 36,000 on the clock was ok for first year and a half until discs and brakes needed replacing all round at 45,000 miles then guess what gearbox went at 55,000 miles selectors became very stiff hoped it would just be the cable but turned out to be the box, drove it around for a few more miles ant it has now stalled abruptly whilst driving with a red flashing light saying there’s a serious injection fault waiting to take this in to the garage to see what’s next.

2 star review

Bought the van new, always really happy, saved myself a lot of money as its dramatically more economical than my Peugeot Boxer that it replaced. Normal things needed attention, brakes,s ervicing, two track rods replaced. The van drives like a car, very comfy and reliable, so why the poor rating? Well at 76k miles the gearbox started to make dreadfull noises, I called my Nissan dealer to see if he had any ideas, but obviously they were not familiar with any gearbox related issues with this van!! However after several calls to local gearbox speacialists I found this to be completely untrue and was told by all that the fault was well known and terminal, to the extent that one guy even guessed the mileage it had done and was spot on. They said they had seen a couple fail at 50k ! Expensive repair, I now know of three other people with same problem, all going back to Transits.
