Nissan Figaro help wanted

[Groucho]

Hi folks.

The wife, @Morag, is after a Nissan Figaro. Does anyone know of any specialists in the north west area I could call for advice? I’ve found a load based in the SW but that’s no good.

I am aware of the basic info of the model, ie Micra parts, H-J reg so it’s just ‘dealer’ advice I need.

Cheers for the suggestions of sawdust and no, I don’t know how much a pair of them is. First by the way.

I now have the middle bit of Bohemian Rhapsody in my head.

Sorry I can't help further.

No idea mate. But if/when Vic gets one, keep a really close eye on the oil. They drink it for some reason, and by the time a warning light comes on, the engine will be knackered and dead.

This is a joke, right??????????????????????????????????????????

Can't see much in the NW, but this place in Oxford seems to come up a lot on stuff

I had a friend who bought one of these because it looked cute then sold it 6 months later because it was a big pile of Five-H-One-T

If you find the right mechanic for a Figaro, it will be a marriage made in heaven.

Brotherhood of Man certainly sang its praises.

Not big on cars but have seen the odd one knocking about and thought they looked so hideous they must be east European, surprised to find they're Nissan.

I'm not an opera fan ( or an Oprah fan ) , but any mention of Figaro gets me humming this

Back to the original topic however, @Groucho I have a friend who has one and they're a strained love for reasons that @roydo mentioned and others.

She's had hers now for about seven or eight years and the the money she'd spent on upkeep some years isn't great. Starting in the cold? Have fun win that.

Thanks folks.

She’s gone off the idea due to a non existent safety rating.

I think you've dodged a bullet with this one. My friend does love hers, but I think it's a labour of love and unrequited.

If she wants something fun and reliable get her to go for a Mazda MX-5...

There does need to be some token gesture towards rear seats for the kids which they don’t have.
