  2. Dear All
    Just about to arrange for a Nissan. Over the years i had the Datsun and the Terrano 1 diesel. With my past experience as very good, I now want an X Trail 2004 model diesel automatic form Germany, despite the age i am able to have an old one. Few issues am reviewing to conclude the deal is it a common concern that the autonomic electronic injectors and diesel pumps are very expensive. these concerns have added to reasons of rejecting the offer and go fro another one as compared to the latter terrano there was no major issue. My key question is if there is another X Trail with a manual fuel pump and injector. If there is any such type can you please advise me. thanks
