My husband bought me a new H3, it looks fab but I'm having so much trouble with various technical faults Ive had the car since november 2006 and it's had a new reversing light, a new solenoid selector for the 4wd and stab sys, the exhaust had to be modified to stop it hitting the body and now it has a missfire and has been in GMotors for the past two weeks and still is not fixed. New spark plugs etc. Has anyone had the same problems or was mine built on a friday evening before the shift ended.

Sounds like you may be a candidate for the infamous head problem ... does it idle rough as well!?
There are quite a few posts regarding this particular subject, check them out.

There are quite a few members on here who have had this problem ... I'm in an H2 myself so I obviously don't have any experience with it first hand ... Above and beyond the rough idle and misfire there should be some tell tale codes being triggered as well. Your service guy should be able to tell ... If I recall correctly one was I THINK 0990 or close to it. Would anyone like to chime in here and set me straight on the codes??

The code that came up indicated a problem with one of the spark plugs. It has had all 5 replaced and it still has a problem. Looks like I'm in for a long wait for my motor to be fixed. I sometimes wish I would have got a Nissan! I will look up any info I can. Thanks for all your help and advice.

Go down to Fleet Landing next time the Navy is in port..I'm sure one or two of the sailors will help you out..J/K

But seriously, I feel deeply in Love with Palma when I was there..I even attended a service at the Cathedral...Praying to God that he take away the horrible Rum and Coke hangover I was suffering.

yea cause we all know Nissan doesn't have a need for a service department......come to think of it I don't think theres even a Nissan trained technition in the USA cause they NEVER need repairing

Also I don't think there is a code for "spark Plugs" the code you got was more than likely an Engine Misfire code....which your tech took to mean bad plugs......he was WRONG!!! engine misfire codes should set off an alarm to the tech to check for a bad head.....sounds like most your problems are a terrible service department and not so much a terrible truck
