  3. Hi steve, it could be anything from low fuild to faulty software, I think your best bet would be to visit a specialist gearbox repairer, you could try disconnecting the battery for 30 mins (do you have your radio code) as this sometimes resets the ecu's and it may fix the auto box ecu. cheers James p.s your engine is a 2.3 not a 2.4
  4. Try this, Clicky Here

  11. Gregers, you cant see the golf course very good from the water, just the heads of all the crowds, (thats my excuse, so sorry no invite :lol: ), So I phoned the dealers today, to tell him I was off work wednesday and I will come and get the x-trail, (signed paperwork saturday, car was being picked up from another branch and delivered monday at my local branch, collect car tuesday), only to be told the finance had fallen through and I cant get the car, so I am scunnered, my gal was financed with the same company, so in a right old tiff, I told him to stick it up his a**e, I still want a good used car, so after a little hunt around, I cant find a smallish 4x4, God what do I do know, went back to the original dealers site and found something I liked, its not 4x4 but has similar ground clearance like the gal, I have always like these cars, but the kids hate it, and with a little grovelling to the dealer,,,,,,,,what did I buy,,,,,,,,,,,,,Citreon Xsara Picasso, no leather or 4x4, but it will hopfully do what I need it to do,,,,,and the great thing is I dont need to change forums,,,,,,,,, :angry2: I know myself for the first couple of weeks, that I wish I had bought another cheaper x-trail or crv, but the kids will learn to like it,,,,45 to 50 mpg, new car tax band makes it
  12. Hi gregers, yes its great, I usually go up to arrachor and fish in Loch Long and Loch Goil, even if I dont catch any fish its still a great day out, catching fish is a bonus, and sometimes I take it over to Loch Lomond just for a potter about and to give the engines a run in non salty water ( I was going to write "fresh water", but it aint no were near fresh.)
  13. oddly I dont have pics of my boat, but I found pics of the same type of boat, Its a Dejon 14 with a mercury seapro 25hp outboard and it poodles along at 21mph, but feels like 40mph
  14. Hi guys, been a while since I was last here (my profile shows the last post was the 10th of May) I decide earlier in the year, come July or August, it would be time to replace the gal, I have not needed the seven seater for a couple of years now, due to the oldest leaving the nest and getting married ( what an idiot, only 19 years old, but thats another story) As some of you know I have a 14ft boat and where I launch it, the gals clearance just makes it, and a few times the gal has got stuck in the soft sand, so I thought about estates, saloons, (you can get a 06 plate vectra for 5595 to 5995, if you dont mind high miles), but due to the clearance issues when launching the boat, I decided on a small 4x4, So i bought a 53 plate Nissan X-Trail 2.2 DCI 136 SVE in Mercury Silver ( It looks grey to me), I was going for a Honda Crv, but the thought of lifting the spare to and from the boot door, was enough for a heart attack,,,,,the X-Trail has everything I need air con, leather, heated seats, sat nav, electronic 4x4 system, and loads of space, and with it being a deisel, there is a garage around the corner from where I work that does bio-deisel for
  15. LMAO :rolleyes:
  16. I am looking at trading in the old gal, was looking at a V40(03), V70(V) or a vectra(04), all diesel estates, and the V40 as won so far, the spec and equipment are far greater than the vectra, the V70 being older has less spec, though the mpg for a 2.4 is amazing V40 V70 Vectra
  17. Excellent, LMAO, little johnny strikes again,,,,,,,,,, :ph34r: :lol:
  18. An elderly Scotsman lay dying in his bed. While suffering the agonies of impending death, he suddenly smelled the aroma of his favourite biscuits wafting up the stairs. He gathered his remaining strength, and lifted himself from the bed. Leaning on the wall, he slowly made his way out of the bedroom, and with even greater effort, gripping the railing with both hands, he crawled downstairs. With laboured breath, he leaned against the door-frame, gazing into the kitchen. Were it not for death's agony, he would have thought himself already in heaven, for there, spread out upon waxed paper on the kitchen table were literally hundreds of his favourite biscuits, freshly baked. Was it heaven? Or was it one final act of love from his devoted Scottish wife of sixty years, seeing to it that he left this world a happy man? Mustering one great final effort, he threw himself towards the table, landing on his knees in crumpled posture. His aged and withered hand trembled towards a biscuit at the edge of the table, when it was suddenly smacked by his wife with a spatula............. "Fuck off" she said, "they're for the funeral."
  19. Heaven A man appeared before St. Peter at the Pearly Gates. "Have you ever done anything of particular merit?" St.Peter asked. "Well, I can think of one thing," the man offered. "On a trip to the Black Hills of South Dakota, I came upon a gang of bikers who were threatening a young woman. I directed them to leave her alone, but they wouldn't listen. So, I approached the largest and most heavily tattooed biker and smacked him in the face, kicked his bike over, ripped out his nose ring, and threw it on the ground. I yelled, "Now, back off, or I'll kick the shit out of all of you!" St. Peter was impressed .. "When did this happen?" " Couple of minutes ago."
  20. A blind man A blind man is walking down the street with his seeing-eye dog one day. They come to a busy intersection, and the dog, ignoring the high volume of traffic zooming by on the street, leads the blind man right out into the thick of traffic. This is followed by the screech of tires and horns blaring as panicked drivers try desperately not to run the pair down. The blind man and the dog finally reach the safety of the sidewalk on the other side of the street, and the blind man pulls a cookie out of his coat pocket, which he offers to the dog. A passerby, having observed the near fatal incident, can't control his amazement and says to the blind man, "Why on earth are you rewarding your dog with a cookie? He nearly got you killed!" The blind man turns partially in his direction and replies, "To find out where his head is, so I can kick his ass."
  21. Friends for many decades Two elderly ladies had been friends for many decades. Over the years, they had shared all kinds of activities and adventures. Lately, their activities had been limited to meeting a few times a week to play cards. One day, they were playing cards when one looked at the other and said, "Now don't get mad at me .. I know we've been friends for a long time, but I just can't think of your name! I've thought and thought, but I can't remember it. Please tell me what your name is." Her friend glared at her. For at least three minutes she just stared and glared at her. Finally she said, "How soon do you need to know?"
  22. Dogs A girl was visiting her blonde friend, who had acquired two new dogs, and asked her what their names were. The blonde responded by saying that one was named Rolex and one was named Timex. Her friend said, "Whoever heard of someone naming dogs like that?" "HELLLOOOOOOO......," answered the blonde. "They're watch dogs!"
  23. Time Piece An Irishman is sitting at a bar in New York City and looks at his watch several times in the space of a few minutes. The woman sitting nearby notices this and asks, 'Is your date running late?' 'No,' he replies, 'I have this state-of-the-art watch. I was just testing it.' The intrigued woman says, 'A state-of-the-art watch? What's so special about it?' The Irishman explains, 'It uses alpha waves to talk to me telepathically.' The lady says, 'What's it telling you now?' 'Well, it says you're not wearing any panties.' The woman giggles and replies, 'Well, it must be broken because I am wearing panties! The Irishman smirks, taps his watch and says, 'Bloody thing's running about an hour fast. Can I buy you a drink?
  24. GRANDMA as a Senior Driver The other day I went up to a local Christian bookstore and saw a 'Honk if you love Jesus' bumper sticker. I was feeling particularly sassy that day, because I had just come from a thrilling choir practice followed by a powerful prayer meeting, so I bought the sticker and put it on my bumper. I was stopped at a red light at a busy intersection just lost in thought about the Lord and how good He is, and I didn't notice that the light had changed. It is a good thing someone else loves Jesus; because if he hadn't honked, I'd never have noticed. I found that LOTS of people love Jesus. Why, while I was sitting there, the nice man behind started honking like crazy, and he leaned out of his window and screamed, 'for the love of God, GO! GO!' What an exuberant cheerleader he was for the Lord. Everyone started honking! I just leaned out of my window and started waving and smiling at all these loving people. I even honked my horn a few times to share in the love. There must have been a man from Florida back there, because I heard him yelling something about a sunny beach. I saw another man waving in a funny way with only his middle finger stuck up in the air. When I asked my teenage grandson in the back seat what that meant, he said that it was an Hawaiian good luck sign or something. Well, I've never met anyone from Hawaii , so I leaned out the window and gave him the good luck sign back. My grandson burst out laughing; why even he was enjoying this religious experience. A couple of the people were so caught up in the joy of the moment that they got out of their cars and started walking towards me. I bet they wanted to pray or ask what church I attended, but this is when I noticed the light had changed. So I waved to all my sisters and brothers, smiled at them all, and drove on through the intersection. I noticed I was the only car that got through the intersection before the light changed again, and I felt kind of sad that I had to leave them after all the love we had shared, so I slowed the car down, leaned out of the window, and gave them all the Hawaiian good luck sign one last time as I drove away. Praise the Lord for such wonderful folks!
