51k, serviced regularly then out of the blue, BANG! Called the AA to come a get me and my wife & kids off the motorway, they tell me "the con rod's gone mate; happens all the time", I say "first I have heard of it". Nissan say "give your local Nissan dealer £350 + VAT and we'll get it checked out; don't worry, it happens all the time". Then £350+ VAT + cost of tow to dealer later Nissan say "tough, you're 7 months over the warranty and your service history isn't good enough! 12 services over 51k miles not good enough! Unprecedented...
Meanwhile, it seems I have an immaculate 2004 D22 in silver breaking for anyone who needs spares...New heavy load low profile tyres and spare set of General Grabbers; snug top etc etc
