Wow. I am amazed at what you have said because it looked as though I could have written it.
My pulsar eats oil and has broken down so many times I have lost track.
At the last investigation, I was told it needed a new engine! So, 2 weeks ago a new engine and now the keyless entry has packed up. Really fed up and can't wait to get rid of this car!

I am waiting to have a new engine fitted at present but I have sorted a deal for a new 1.6 auto Juke and will be changing as soon as I get the Pulsar back.
It is a shame as apart from the oil/engine issue I loved the car but will be struggling to sell on in future if I keep it.
The 2 problems I have heard is the wrong size Pistons were fitted/piston rings fitted upside down.

I was also told that cars having new engines fitted have had problems afterwards,but in my mind it won't be the same.
^^ My Qashqai had post engine swap problems. Oil leak through oil pressure sensor, and then the air con packed in. At that point I caved in and traded in.
Trade in.... didn't seem to make much difference with Nissan dealers. Not sure about elsewhere.

This was last summer and I could not get any cold air through the vents. The problem was a fractured pipe in the engine bay and the system had depressurised. New pipe fitted under warranty and system regased. No problem since.
