Nissan X-Trail 2.2Di Sport Review

I searched high and low for the perfect 4x4 for me, something that was economical, not too big, but could pull a small horse trailer and cope with my very bumpy track and muddy fields.



All was well until yesterday morning when I got in the car to find the oil light on. I immediately filled up and the light went off. However, the engine seemed very restricted, with no pull or drive up hills and through the changes of the gears.



I got a neighbour to look at it last night (mechanic and car salesman) and he thinks its a blocked cat, not sure whats caused it but it doesn't look good. We seem to think that possibly the same issue had happened with the old owner but as he was also a mechanic, possibly he had cleared it out and thats why it had run so well until now.



So its going in for diagnostics on Monday, and we will go from there, it will probably end up at auction and I will be back to driving my dads R reg 306 until I can save up enough money to buy another 4x4.



I'm very disappointed, apart from this it is a lovely car.
