Picking up a 2006 P12 tomorrow as a replacement to my Mk3 Mondeo. I work in the video business and up up needing a big car for all the kit I have to cart around. Nearly went for a P12 when I bought the Mondeo a few years back. But a good Mondeo in my budget became available first. I always wondered what a P12 would be like, so now I guess I’ll get to know.

My other car is a MX5 mk2, so a bit chalk and cheese I guess. But both have pros and cons.

Look nice and I’m guessing you’ve modded a few things

Yep, same capicity (460l) as the Mondeo. But I understand the P12 has some useful cubby holes elsewhere.

Oh yeah sorry, that's in the members section. You need to join up for that (but you should, it's well worth it).

Just wondering what key things/issues to look out for with a P12? I’ve purchased a 1.8 2006 Flare with 36K on the clock and full Nissan service history. The MOT advisories have only every been a couple of wiper blades. So is there anthing that needs checking replacing fairly regularly?

Check the radiator support / crossmember, they are prone to rust in some cases.

Have now picked it up. Pretty much worked everything out bar the cable with the mini usb hanging from the windscreen mirror plus the little hole/sensor/led? on the top of the mirror.
