proud owner of new Tl


Well a new addition to the family - Twilight, manual, Tl - picked it up from the dealer at 6pm and have begun the X-trail experience.

Few extras such as nudge and tow bars, driving light harness, the moulded rubber protection strips doors, front and rear, and rubber floor mats, metal door strips and rear door protection and second drawer. Head unit removed and Kenwood DVD GPS Bluetooth TV tuner(digital) and reversing camera unit installed - waiting for integration cable to interface with steering controls. Will consider tinting later when the bank balance recovers.

Filled up with BP Ultimate Diesel to give it a bit of a treat and checked tyre pressures - all have been set by the dealer at 40psi. I normally run at around 36psi - have not had time to check the receommended settings.

Service intervals are set at 10000kms or 6mths.

Ok off for another drive now!

Will fit spotties and bash plate this weekend.

John

Hey John - where did you get the ultimate diesel from? I haven't seen any of Caltex's premium diesel or the ultimate stuff over in WA yet.

BP North Perth, but most BPs I have been to seem to be carrying it now.

I haven't been to a Caltex servo yet.

Really enjoying the vehicle.

Re: proud owner of new Tl


Congratulations John on being one of the first people in Australia to buy the new T/D X-trail. If you get the chance, could you advise if there is any possibility of putting an extra battery in the engine bay (room permitting) as I have not had a look at the new diesel engine yet. Also John, can you take a few pictures of the engine bay & post them here as I would to get an idea of the size of the new engine. For some reason my local dealer has not got a new diesel model to look at yet, even though it has been a few days since I last made inquiries. Again John, congratulations on your new X-Trail which I know you are going to enjoy, but out of curiosity, did you get an auto or manual ? Personally, I would rather a manual due to the greater power output & the 2000kg tow rating.

Cheers ! emoticon

There isn't much difference in the layout of the engine bay between the Petrol and Diesel and both have very little space for a second battery (unlike the T30).

P.S. John's first post in this thread states that get the manual version emoticon

Re: proud owner of new Tl


Will take some pics & post - just busy driving - nearly 500clicks and a shake down country run next week. Will do the offroad stuff after 1000.

As Jalal said, no room for a spare battery & the one fitted is befitting a diesel a rather large one.

Acceleration is quite deceptive & most of the time it's fourth/fifth with sixth for 100 and over. Sat on around 120 briefly and is was ticking over just above 2,000 and effortless.

You do get to 'feel' the diesel when idling but not objectionable.

John

HI Kev - 'sleeping the X-trail'

With three kids and one 18mths, it's not a bad idea. Except, I know if I do it once, she might make it permanent. Definitely would be quieter and I would not have a serial motivator always telling me what I have to do!!
