This one came in to us as previous garage couldn't get to the bottom of the problem after quite a few parts fitted and no fix, so we carried out a lot if checks physical and wiring diagrams to find a common source for the 11 fault codes that kept coming back, we found all the components were in the same 2 rows on an ecu plug and on checking found the plug not pulled in squarely due to 2 broken lugs on ecu meaning poor connection with ecu. We carried out repair and all fixed with no parts needed. Video shows on wiggle test I could stall the engine.

So today we had a car collected that's been a bit of nitemare showing half vehicle speed on front wheels, with having initial visit to nissan had some wiring fixed but still had same fault a visit to a garage in town and parts fitted, after lots of checking found it originally had faulty abs sensors causing the fault but had had analogue sensors fitted instead of digital so the wrong waveform. We got correct sensors and fitted and all spot on......all collected it returned an hour later :/ my instant thoughts was oh noooo.....but the customer came in very happy and brought treats 😀 makes all hours worthwhile....There was flapjack tooo but it didn't make it home lol even Alfie got treats
