From A to Zed Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 Sorry to hijack this but what is difference between P2 and P3 then? They just change the diff oil by the looks of it? I just had a P2 and they classified this in the book as the 'minor service' Thanks, Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lincolnbaggie Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 No difference at all between P2 and P3 (diff oil doesn't need changing). Rip off by the dealers as I have pointed out before. Get a P2 and save yourself £50. Advice courtesy of a cave-dweller (thanks as usual Sarnie!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarnie Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 What about spark plugs? thought they were done on a P3? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lincolnbaggie Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 What about spark plugs? thought they were done on a P3? Nope, spark plugs are an additional service item at additional cost, every 5 years or 54,000 miles (as is coolant and brake fluid change as well at differing times). The only difference listed in the service schedule (pages 18 and 19 of the service booklet) between a P2 and a P3 is 15. LSD Gear Oil (except viscous coupling type) P2=Inspect, P3=Replace, and the 350 has the viscous couping type which therefore doesn't need replacing. Everything else is identical and therefore Nissan are ripping us off charging extra for a P3 over a P2. I'd like to see someone at Nissan explain why they charge more for a P3.....

Chris`I Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 The difference between an Lx and Px service was explained to me as the Px service is for when it is in warrenty and they hook it up to the Consult software to read error codes and faults, and Lx they dont bother. Apparently if you go for an Lx serivce in warrenty it breaks the warrenty as you have to hook it up to Consult as part of the agreement. Nissan Slough explained this to me and said its basically Nissan ripping us and the dealer off as they have to pay to use it, and you only really need to do that then the CEL light is on. Thats why their prices seem so competitive out of warrenty. As for the P2/P3 diff, I agree there isnt one. I had mine done a while back at Nissan Basingstoke before I knew any better. Now I would be asking why there is a difference in price when they do the same stuff! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stanski Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 Funny a certain dealer told me that the cost involved in servicing a Zed is exatly the same as for a common or garden Micra - but the Marketing bods at Nissan Uk said that it would devalue the Zed's status as a flagship car etc and hence they have upped the price - strange how the dealers dont drop the price of the service then to £100!!

NWZ Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 garden Micra Wot's one of them - never head of that before Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neo Posted October 21, 2008 Author Share Posted October 21, 2008 been quoted £298.90 all in, their oil etc, hope it was that and not £398.90 (too much background noise at work) suppose i could get it cheaper else where but then there's the time and petrol expense to factor in also it's now outta warranty so i guess i could take it to any garage but then again it is my baby after all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pingu2 Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 just had my p3 - they charged me an extra 4 quid for fitting windscreen wipers front and back... edit: hmm - I mean the labor charge for replacing them - I'm not implying that my car didn't already have windscreen wipers..
