X-Trail Known Faults

[Trevor]

List of known faults with the Nissan X-Trail     (please feel free to add your own faults and remedies)

Poor earth connections -  this one is responsible for most of the performance and electrical faults that crop up. Easily overlooked, the earth leads running from the chassis (N/S/F) inner wing area and distribute to the engine and battery negative, tend to break at the connection and leave just one or two leads to do all the work.
Easily replaced and cheap replacement leads can be found in Halfords for around £10 for three complete with connectors.
