Now Doug, You should realise that us Toyota owners don't need to know where the dealers are, but I guess it is handy for the likes of Roachie and Bonz for when they finally realise the error of there ways and decide to upgrade from the Missan
camp.

Thanks Doug , I've put them into road angel as danger points as my tyres don't like driving over piles of broken CV's and diffs.

Doug T
I think it is very thoughtful of you to provide this imformation for Toyota Owners. I can understand that it would be required information.
I note that you apologise for not having the POI for Nissans. No need to apologise - the only Nissan owners that need them are those that have purchased the 3.0 litre TD.

Only reason I mentioned Toyota is the fact that who ever is making these files has not began one for Nissan , I see Subaru,Ford and Hino is there, I guess one could add some nissan dealers to your file once it's downloaded , so Don't despair Nissanites get your csv file and make your own ,
Does anyone know how they start these files, surely they don't add each location one at a time, look ay the Post Code file for instance at 9273 entries , there must be some way of doing it en-mass.

Doug, Would be very handy for Nissan owners, not necessary for Toyota owners I wouldn't have thought. Perhaps a direct link to the Nissan service department hotline re 3.0 litre engines would be a "REAL"bonus..! LOL

Nissans don't need a file. better of with the roadside assistance number.
Just follow the oil track that falls off the back of the tow truck on the way to the Nissan dealership.
Oops.....I being a tad unware there. My apologies to all the 4.2 owners
