VIDEO: Primera P12: How To Fix A Water Leak In The Boot - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/lbChpJmCkpfHYpc.html

Love the unusual layout of the controls and dials. Really makes it stand out. Interesting vid, thanks!

Love your vids mate. Keep it up! Im also the owner of primera p12 and im loving it. The leather they used on seats is very high quality and still looks like brand new after 16 years.

Absolute pristine example of p12. I love how clean it is.

Thank you for your lovely presentation - clear and easy, good job 👍 Eric 🎩 from France

I love this car! And love your tour round and honest review. It's good to see you on the road too! Your car still looks like new. I'll have to clean my Ford this weekend...

Hi I really enjoyed this video & have subscribed to your channel. For this size car, P12s were years ahead of their time in so many ways. Things they were criticised for in the early ‘00s come as standard on many cars nowadays (controls through a central menu system, reverse cam, active cruise etc). They haven’t survived in the same number as some of their peers but that means it’s nice to have something different.

Very nice, thorough review!

very detailed and reliable presentation of the car.

Nice looking car and interesting to hear about. Good vid!

My parents bought a 2005 1.8 SXI with 11,000 miles on the clock 4 years. It’s a really nice drive and surprisingly nimble and economical. I just replaced the rear brake discs and pads this weekend which was £91 for parts and 2 hours of my time. Can’t complain!

dad still has p12 since new 2004 or so. It's easy to live with, cheap to fix and maintain. no turbos, no high pressure fuel pumps or compicated other parts. But is it a good car - No. it just is what it is. economical way to get from A to B.

great video! The 2004 model of this was passed down to and it's in fairly bad shape so I have some fixing up to do but it's exciting

I have manual p12 from 2002 with same engine....well, yours seem much louder when accelerating even on the video than mine when shifted....in short, not a perfect reliability, not a trash either....build quality bad at places in interior, but very interesting indeed....mine is saloon and has about 100 000 miles when converted in the unit.... you need to put 16-inch wheels, mine is crashy at low speeds over sharp bumps and holes and comfortable otherwise, I am planing to change shocks, so we will see....the steering is very direct and quick, so I think there's some fun as well as easiness in use only because of that. two and a half circles lock-to-lock is better than most today's cars....it does lean somewhat in corners, but it remains stable for a long time. I have it for twelve years and plan to keep it because it has a lot of character and is better than most cars to drive in most essential operation like steering/brakes/clutch/gearbox relation....nissan back then cared about that overall impression of a car that's just nice to drive. it also has excellent brakes even for today's standards of family class cars. so, despite some shortcomings like 'strange' rear beam that manages to be 'multilink' and 'beam' at the same time which influences on slightly strange ride/handling behaviour, it also has some plus points hard to find in its more expensive competitors like audi or bmw. a4 had a very long clutch and bmw's manual 'box wasn't good at all.

The speedometer being on the central part is awesome, it is easier to monitor when driving fast.

Another things to watch on these machines: The steering rack: The input shaft O-ring is prone to blowing out and this will cause steering fluid to be dumped all over the road. Leaving it in this state will cause rapid wear and failure of the steering pump due to fluid loss This happened in mine at 36 months - Nissan's "only authorised dealer fix" is a new rack, which may fail in the same way and had a total quoted cost of £1800 (rack plus fitting) I took mine to a reconditioning specialist who took the rack out, fixed and refitted it in an afternoon for £600 - they machined a groove and fitted a second o-ring to the input shaft to prevent recurrences of the issue whilst they were working on it as they've seen this problem many times. 15 years of trouble-free operation after this fix was made. The universal joint between the steering shaft and steering box failed at about 12 years (wore and developed a knocking noise). Nissan's price is over £100 but you can buy a pattern part from Poland for about £30. This part has a hollow shaft which transmits road noise, etc into the cabin, so plug it up before fitting it.

I had a P12 estate for 2yrs. Hell of a car for the money and not as bland as I expected

I bought a P12 in 2020 from a little old man who'd owned it from new. It's an '06 1.8 petrol manual in sky blue. I much prefer Japanese cars and this one was a pleasant surprise. It's had a few bodywork issues and at 90,000 miles is probably not going to pass another MoT, sadly. I'd have another one, no problem!

Absolutely gorgeous. After my own. Getting scarcer...

Just picked up a 2005 1.8 manual petrol 5 gear estate one. It’s a workhorse. Paid £325 for it with 133.000 miles on it. MOTD till March 2022. Drives like an old mans car. Once I found the MPG reader that updates with your driving I was hooked. Previous owner was getting 38 mpg. I drove from Folkestone to Hastings and got 48 mpg. The clutch is on its way out. Very high lift before engaging. Brake discs and pads will be needed within the next 3 - 5000 miles. Bolster broken on passenger seat. Cheap respray on near side. Drives a bit better now that I’ve cleaned the windows and removed a ton of brake dust from wheels.😃😂 It had the airbag warning light flashing but I managed to reset it. Might just resell it for a bit more once I’ve valeted it. Stereo is quite powerful, if you go into settings and adjust it. Satnav updates as you drive quite well.

I'm currently loving our recently and cheaply purchased p12 primera. It too is a 2.0 CVT auto but happens to be a T-Spec so it also has bloody radar cruise control, I mean what the actual on a 2003 Nissan! I was expecting fewer rattles being honest from a relatively low (103k) miles Japanese car but knowing where it lived for much of its life with horrible old concrete roads and huge speed mountains I suppose it's to be excused. The leather is flawless and after some APC and a magic eraser it literally could be a 2 year old car. I've added some earth straps and it's amazing, the ride is too hard being honest but generally it feels a decade at least newer than it is.

I have a 2004 P12 , 2.2 diesel manual Great car to drive , i love the clock position and the centralised space age looking radio , satnav , climste controls etc The only drawback for me is my radio doesnt work as it should It comes on and off at its own accord ie when it wants too I suspect a bad connection somewhere but havent yet sussed how to the wiring / ariel connections behind it Other than that its a very comfortable car

Hi, thanks for all of your videos, one question, yo have any problem with the cvt transmission? I wanna to buy one in my country but im scared with the comments of the people…

I still have a 2003 2.2L Diesel since 2011. My other half ( who have a 2018 KIA CEED 1.6L from motorability) feels that my car give smoother ride then her's plus the seats are more comfortable. She like the fact the front passenger sun visor has got light on either side of the mirror, which her's haven't got.

Does the 2002-2005 p12 have cvt transmission educate us on cvt vs vvit

Nice video. Im actually thinking about getting one used. It would have been great if you could have shown us the xenon headlights illumination and how good or poor that is.

Just be aware that the QR series engines fitted to these cars are essentially "throwaway" designs - they have very few adjustments and last a long time but when they finally wear, they cost so much to sort out that they're cheaper to replace - design life is in the 120-150,000 mile range That's what finally killed my 2003 T-spec. It was going to cost 3 times as much to keep running as the thing was worth. One other thing to watch on the adaptive cruise control: water can get in the front glass and scarmble it. If this happens. The fromt trim ring on the LIDAR unit can be pulled off and the glass pulled off and cleaned/o-ring replaced. DO NOT attempt to pull the unit out of the car or replace it, they're over a thousand quid to fix up (ask me how I know this....) Single most common problem: Bad earth in the tail light cluster plugs which makes all kinds of things upset throughout the car (particularly cruise control and emissions systems!) Nissan's "fix" is to clean the contacts, but this doesn't prevent water getting back in and re-corroding the contacts. Pack the connector with electrical grease to keep out water after cleaning the contacts and the issue won't recur Another major killer: Sunroof drains getting blocked. This is a particular issue if you seldom use it. Make sre you snake the drains periodically or you'll find you have mushrooms growing in your car!

Good car Based on Great too Renault Laguna II I love the Space Style

Had 3 of these cars… really wish I’d not sold the last one … looking for another but not found one yet that has low miles or pristine…

Your car is in excellent condition. Can I ask you does Britain CTV gear fits to Japanese? I have a british nissan p12. But in my country only japanese ones

Please how can I update my Nissan primera 2004 map? I have the navigation map cd that came with the car, thanks

I have a 2004 primera qr 20 with auto cvt transmission . Its been misfiring as of late had about 140,000 miles on it its in limp mode not sure why, ive changed the cam and crank sensors since code came up for those changed coolant switch also has lack of power cause pf limp mode , has a rough idle so cleaned throttle body and mass air flow sensor but still in limp mode and wont go over 3000 rpms with a rough idle got a p1320 code im lost

I bought the 2004 model about 3yr now it is a lovely car but please can someone tell me where to find the fuel filter?

Can I ask a question can I fit a 2004 sat nav system in a 2005

Ive got a 2004 2.2 diesel manual, same colour as this and the S model. 170,000 miles and still in near perfect nick except the rev counter has been broken for atlesst 40,000 miles now 😂

Beautiful car. Your seats look new. How do you keep the leather so nice?

The torque on this car is nice, added a nice sports exhaust on this and some hard suspensions, i just love how it handles curves.

I had a diesel version of this primera a few years back. A very advanced car for its time and nice to drive. Unfortunately the engine blew up at just over 100k miles despite a full service history.

The styling put me off these (bit too curvy and bobby) but that's a really nice and unique dashboard it has to be said.

I'm looking to get a second hand nissan primera 1.6 sx are they any good

nice car

Is the 2.0l engine the Sr20ve?

Is this car economic ? How is the fuel consumption ?

Do you love or hate the Nissan Primera P12? Let me know in the comment section.

Weird car
