    Timing chains on these models are a complete nightmare , my advise to anyone owning a nissan almera is to get it part ex-changed ASAP 'OR Get rid of it .
    Had mine replaced at 45,000 miles after a serious amount of juddering !!!!! had it repaired @ nissan , what a joke !£1100 its now done(the chain) less than 7,000 miles and its gone again . STEER CLEAR . YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED

    Nissan Almera has a big problem with the timing chain. Just google it and you'll find hundreds of links to this common and expensive problem.
    My Nissan Almera is worth a £1000 and Nissan want to charge me £1800 to fix their own problem!
    Here are two links, out of hundreds, to the issue:
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nissan_Almera

    It's appauling the way Nissan NOT handled the Timing Chain issue.
    I'll never buy a Nissan again.
