New Nissan Largo owner

Post by Booner »

Hi, I have recently bought a Nissan Largo, live on the Isle of Wight

Seems very good so far but I have a problem with the heater. I'm going to guess its the heater control valve as the blower is working fine, but not sure

Is this a common fault? plus some knocking from the front when driving over bumps, at a guess could it be roll bushes?

I cant seem to find any manuals or info online, any hints as to where I can get some good drawings so I know what I'm looking at?

cheers Booner

Hiya welcome to the forum.

Very little in the way of manuals, aside from the engine itself.

Agree with Jimmy (as usual), most likely drop link bushes. It's a straightforward job all right, I'd be happy to fit them for you free of charge if you're over in Southampton at any point. (Kimber Friction in Southampton also stock many Largo parts, including drop links - or you can buy just the bushes on eBay for about £4).

Thanks great!

I'll get both drop link bushes and anti roll bushes if they're that cheap, thanks for the offer Tony but will probably have a go myself (I should get more hands on and get to know the Largo).

I fixed the heater problem, the heater valve needed replacing as it was really tight, the valve motor was burnt out (likely due to the tight valve) and the cable had been cut. Was a pretty fiddly job but works well now.

Unfortunately now there seems to be a problem when starting, turn the key and nothing at all, even when I stick on the heat button, some mornings we have been sat there 10 minutes before it suddenly starts, any ideas?

Does it crank but not start (if so, any white smoke out the back?), or not even crank at all?

The heat switch only increases revs when running to heat engine up quicker,Also were did you get new heater valve as i may need one for rear,as for not starting is it in neutral or park if not that then maybe solenoid on starter
