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.
