Just been talking to someone who's car won't start. It's an N plate Nissan something or other, with a V6.
Apparently it's been getting harder and harder to start, to the point where it now pretty much won't. Various garages have looked at it and found nothing wrong, although they've suggested a new starter an battery.
I've been told it bump starts OK, sometimes starts on the key when fully hot, but otherwise is a total pig.
I did notice the rad fans spinning when cranking, don't know if that's normal or not for these?
My thinking is if it bumps OK then there's possibly too much juice being pulled through the starter for the various sensors to work OK, but I've been told it still won't start even with either good jump leads or a booster hooked up.
The owner claims to have replaced the starter (with a s/h one looking at it) and either the crank position sensor or cam one (or both, hard to tell). The wiring does looks a bit tatty, and there's an LPG kit fitted, but the LPG side of things doesn't seem to have caused the problem from what I could make out.
Anyone any ideas?
