had a problem with rev cut-out up to 3000 revs, changed fuel filter problem solved. make sure you allow engine to run for a few minutes on start_up and after a run to protect turbo/intercooler. possible timing chain tensioner requiring replacement.
having bought the x trail for pulling my caravan it surprised me how well it pulls , it loves motorways very comfortable and quite good on fuel considering it is loaded to the hilt!.my only down side with this car is 1st and reverse gears are to high a ratio for pulling on some caravan sites ,you have to ride the clutch to get traction
quite and comfortable
1st and reverse gears to high ratio

Will have to come up with damage limit ations for trim protection. Plastic not tough enough for real abuse in an SUV. A beautiful motorway drive and practical apart from the miniscule door pockets. Why no courtesy lights when opening the front doors?

Main problem is with ECU 5 days to diagnose and then 5 days to get parts. Always flat spot at 2300 its taken to 30,ooo miles to find the problem-over fuel on 1 cylinder. Apart from that its fine and nice to drive
