Hi Peter
I don't have the specs, just the part number. Nikolai is looking on my behalf already.

I will try order the parts as suggested.

The VIN number (JN1WRGY60A0510475) does not appear on the Nissan SA parts system so they can't (won't?) sell me parts as they s...

Hi Marnus
I have a similar vehicle as yours. Did you ever find a source of spare parts other than the dealers (sharks that they are)?
