My wife loves "Bender" as she affectionately calls it. My daughter is even worse, she won't go in the wife's x-trail if there's the slightest possibility of going in "Bender Truck" as she calls it.Quote:

Things that come to mind are
- fuel pump in the tank
- oil cooler in the radiator (or is it the fuel cooler?)
- Headlight switch
- Fuel regulator
Other stuff like hoses, clutch, shocks, aframe ball joint should be able to be dealt with by either checking physically, or checking service records.

Cheers Tusker ... i've bought one now anyway, but pretty much all of that stuff's been covered off as it happens. Searching this site has been invaluable :)Quote:
