Nissan Primastar

this is by far the worst taxi MPV i have bought got it in 2008 for Voyager Crewe who have relocated to Sandbach semi-auto gear box replaced 4 Times since the day i had it engine went on it also wiring loom burnt out even the sliding door fell off talk about safety the Vehicle has been a plague. To all NEVER EVER even think about buying this type of Vehicle n also Nissan holdcroft in stoke are so terrible that each time the vehicle went in to them they had it for weeks on ends between 4-7 weeks at a time. But mostly Voyager MPV showed no consideration to the troubles i was having after buying this Vehicle for nearly £30,000 and they sold me an extended warrenty which wasnt even honored when the time came, u would expect peace of mind but after buying this vehicle i lost my peace of mind because if it wasn't one thing it was the other. Because i bought it for Taxi i'm stuck with it. So to all head my warning.

I have a catalogue of things go wrong with my Primastar

Nissan are a horrible company to deal with,

My Primastar has done 17,000 miles from new

After the first 2000 miles Hardly any of them have been trouble-free.

heap of shitt.anything that involves Renault is a disaster.

We have two Nissian primastar vans both are chiller vans both done 140000+ miles. After a year on the 56 plate the chiller broke down and can not be fixed because of the way they have been fitted. The 07 plate chiller just about works when it's cold out side!!! Every time we take them in for a service or a problem at the Nissian main dealer it always costs between £1500 - £2000+ they never have any parts in stock!! The main dealer never cared after the warranty ran out!! on the 07 plate the back doors have never worked since they day we got it if the temp out side gets below -4 the 07 won't start, we have had so many problems the list is endless!! the sliding door came off once when pulling away in a busy city. The turbo broke on the 56 plate after 700miles from new. we are having problems with one that keeps losing power and the safty managment keeps cutting in. The handbrake cable broke twice on one van even after we recived a letter to recall the van back they changed it and then broke twice since then!!! on the 56 plate all the hydrloics went!!!! There seems to be patten because when we had a renalt master at the same time off bout 130000+ miles every thing started going wrong and since the engines are all Renalt we will never buy a van that has a Renalt engiane Fords or Mercs all the way from now on!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was driving on dublins M50 one night on the 20 may with a full load on board,i was just about to exit off the motorway when all of a sudden the useless van lost all of its power and died on the side of the road. the following day i brought it to nissan to find out what the problem is. the mechanic informed me tht the timin chain had snapped.its now off the road 5 weeks and counting.i have been told that there is no parts available in ireland, the uk,or in europe. what i dont understad is tht,nissan,renault,opel and,vauxaul all have the same engine and body panels. so why cant it be repaired.

2003, 120000 miles, I've owned it for 2 years and all its cost me is Mots, fuel, brake pads tyres!

Nothing wrong, everything works brilliantly, not a patch of rust anywhere, van flies, great fuel economy, regularly pulls a trailer, or large caravan when I'm working away from home.

Lovely van, and definitely recommended!

Done 115000 in mine only had servicing and mot to pay for . Used one set of brake pads as well. No rust apart from wheels

I have an 06 primastar. I am writing this review to warn people against buying one of these vans, they are totaly rubbish plus it's not a nissan it's a renult. The first problem i had was ocasionaly i had no power. It would start fine, but the acelerator wouldn't work, for about 5 mins, then worked perfect.They changed the pedal,that didn't work, then they reprogramed the ecu, that didn't work, it went to nissan to, they could fix it. They tryed a new ecu, still no joy, after countless other attempts it turned out to be a leaking injector. Nissan didn't find it, a man called diesel Bob, at ribchester, lanc's, did (top man).But this cost me thousands to find and get fixed. 10000 miles later clutch went quote from nissan £950, (thanks but no) managed to get it done by a friend for half that. Then 2 weeks later i was driving down a bumpy road, perhaps quicker than i should have been. Now the van twice as loud as it used to be, and most mechanics are looking at it in disbelief, one said it could be the big end. So it's looking like another expensive job. The only good thing about it is the ac, which most vans don't have. But i think i'll get a transit next and put the window down.

I bought my Nissan Primastar 115Dci from Voyager MPV as a taxi in May 08. Overall as a taxi it has been superb but its been let down by periodic electrical faults on the engine which have caused it to cut out in wet weather It has broken down several times in wet weather and refused to start until it dries out and also wont start if the vehicle is jet washed with the engine off. Now the engine has packed up altogether and wont start and appears to have no compression or fuel pressure. I'm now waiting to see what shows up when we start stripping it down next monday to find the fault and fix it.

The rest of the van is well built and does the job as a taxi very well. full marks to Voyager for the conversion. They have always been top of the game for building top quality taxis.

complete RUBISH, owned the van 3 mounths and its been in the garage five times, and guess what problem is still not sorted.

Nissan main dealers do not want to no just keep taking money and saying it must be something else every time if it is something else then why do they keep replacing parts that are not broken, because their idiots.

DO NOT BUY A NISSAN !!!
