Traded in our juke for a new 64 plate pulsar as I love how they look we had a bit of back and fourth with Gordon lamb Nissan and came to a good price it had 6500 miles on it when we picked it up.
it came with some optional extras including black alloy wheels pulsar door trim kick plates and chrome mirror caps (not sure on them myself)
anyway some pics :-
first weekend back I wanted to get under its skin and give it some protection so I ripped off the wheels and added some seam sealer and stone chip after a good jet wash. i'm a abit disappointed they use felt rear arch liners as I think they are a terrible design and just trap water!
next job was to trial fit the 18" rota grids we had on the juke they are a bit of an aggressive offset but luckily with a tyre change should just squeeze! also think they will be refinished black..
currently returning 56mpg and is great to drive its weird getting used to all the toys flashing and telling me what is going on..
needs a good clean and wax when I have a spare few hours and see what goodies become available
White C13 pulsar DCi Tekna
Did a quick service on the pulsar today the service interval is supposed to be 18K miles but we plan on having this car a while so I want it kept well. As the car is so new I didn't want to use blueprint parts but having rang my local Nissan dealer it turns out the genuine stuff is really not that badly priced.
So I picked up a minor service kit.
interestingly the air filter has been used by Nissan on allot of larger engine cars in the past, but it does mean a nice selection of aftermarket ones could be available for those who are so inclined.
trying to find the correct low SAPS oil was abit of a mine field but the correct oil direct from Nissan was £4 cheaper than some I found online and didn't need shipping!
of course the filter is Renault being as the engine is Renault derived
old vs new filter
amazing how much crud you pick up in only 10Kmiles
job done for another 10k.

all new cars after nov 2014, have to have tpms (and its an mot fail if the sensor light is on), did you have to get the computer reset to recognise the new/replacement sensors, ive been googling this for a few days as I have some new rims coming, and unsure to take the sensors from original wheels or buy new sensors, google searching says you need to get the ecu to recognise the new sensors as the car can only store 4-5 wheel sensors so it needs to be deleted and reprogrammed with new sensor codes (each one has unique id's)
P.S. what size tyres are on the black wheels are they 205 or 215
