Bonnett Gas strut
I have fitted struts from Autodoc to a range of vehicles and never had any issues https://www.autodoc.co.uk/spares Not sure if they have your vehicle in there but worth a look

Nissan serina C25
Does it improve quite quickly? e.g. when the engine comes off choke (as it used to be in the past - now open loop to closed loop on the lambda sensors) as this may be the issue

At my wits end!
You don't say what year the car is but for my money I would recommend that the turbo variable vanes are cleaned using a specialist cleaning solution. Once this is done then it needs a proper hard run, not short-shifting on the gears but holding the revs up before shifting which will give the engine chance to clear its lungs. Basically the carbon build up in the engine (EGR was testament to this occurring) and the turbo sounds clogged up also. Listed below are links to cleaning products on ebay https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/331754313002?itmmeta=01J3JT0ARSVRG19F0E89P969TC&hash=item4d3e19152a:g:h5EAAOSw4Ehag~qM&itmprp=enc%3AAQAJAAAA0LTnITF3WGt3YJY4GI1hUKC%2BXP8ZHDRtSSnJ0dz0Rze3oyI4yeaUUtHVxMrZSc8hqxwfqLisgsWyg85fXSsypUG5TEPjryqdAfyY7W0poyavbKcZLCIPwk1KgAFZO6qaGbOFjvn1RJum1QmKPRgTz5T3wr1RkbfI2niLRxM5%2FHUmI3a19zKlItfpQ8dEqr7WSsZtiOO12fmwelgmXZ%2BWxQSEopwQ2bGvgZJsvk%2BEomby%2BYQQ9uGCpQNFJh2sOFE%2FRgKXXEAEicjKF7Fru2L8AsE%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR8CsgdqcZA https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/323958600044?itmmeta=01J3JT0ARVD0SDHSEBS2XS4RF5&hash=item4b6d6ff16c:g:basAAMXQfvlSg4~P&itmprp=enc%3AAQAJAAAA8MH81HR74rsuLLW6RBEnYbAOqZYRUJYaoT%2Bm13iI9d2GPBy%2BYMVauztqaiv2BhPDSQiUmH0mc8p9%2BlYvVgxiOqgQxqzxbULCTfwUvJO2BKw62hwA9eHFvDJaQPDJNL41sKqqH%2BtHdNHn994uhyIpMHCRj%2FsMAhrUEAFcWY%2FGnPf7AajOJv26HNE8JABGeaYZ1IyMJbV2HR%2B0aKL31GMCxHH3f64fVwTk8nlZRGNPeYmAFgEZrm4ne3oEDEiXKmrFLXhk3NLlGLDqex6gCZzr0e5xoFWhPsjRLqfMB2FvJfhJJbMRIwliczhp4cFCUmWn3A%3D%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR8KsgdqcZA

Which Oil ???
I use Castrol Oil Checker to get the correct specs https://www.castrol.com/en_gb/united-kingdom/home/product-finder.html Most importantly (rather than the grade) is the API/ACEA specs (such as C3 or A5/B5)

Acceleration issue
Would be worth checking the intercooler for damage and also the hoses/pipes that are connected to it A visual inspection may uncover the fault and costs nothing to do
-
Loss of power
Sounds like it could be an intercooler (or one of the hoses/pipes) that may be holed, split or not reconnected
-
Front sensor behind Nissan badge
More than likely have to remove the grille assembly to gain access
-
Central locking not synced
sounds like the connection has been reversed on the passenger door lock mechanism - has any work been carried out on the car recently?
-
Engine Stop / Start just stopped working
It does sound like you have covered all the bases and the one thing I would have said is that the battery is failing - but you have had it tested and seems fine. A system reset and scan would definitely be the way forward Please let us know how you get on with it and what the outcome is

x trail 2020 plate 1.7 Tekna cvt turbo problems anyone?
Hi...welcome to the Club Unfortunately turbos can just go but usually give signs like oil consumption (and smoking from the exhaust) also noises (such as high pitch squeeling) but hopefully all is now okay and you can move on without incurring any damage to the engine However, it is advisable to change the engine oil regularly and use a good quality oil filter as well

Navara d40 advice
I have removed one from a Mitsubishi L200 and apart from someone to give you a hand to lift it off its just nuts and bolts really (oh and a bit of wiring to disconnect)

Navara d40 advice
I would be tempted to remove the tub and also check the chassis for corrosion (common issue) while you are there.

Airport Parking
If they have accepted your booking and you provided the number plate then surely they have details of your vehicle and if over a certain length they should inform you that they cannot accomodate a vehicle of that size. Saying that, larger vehicles are more commonplace on the roads nowadays so probably not an issue
