I hopped in the work GU 3.0 TD series III with only 32k on the clock to go down and get some pizzas for the guys for lunch. Start her up, the engine light comes on and stays on, the motor rumbles loudly the whole way there and produces heaps of smoke and has NO power. Pick up the pizzas, start her up and is all fine again.
Same problem we were having with this car 10k ago when Nissan had it for over two weeks on three occasions (and outright refused a loan car - because they were too busy and didn't have any) supposdly they replaced the EGR valvue and O2 sensors, so here we go again!

It's just damn dangerous as you never know when it's going to do it, it quite often happens when you stick your boot into it. IE when you take off from a stop sign into traffic, then it decides all of a sudden it doesn't want to go - bloody stupid thing!
Why do these have so many problems, other electronic diesels have been around for years with EGR valves and sensors etc etc, why do these ones playup so bad?
