If you own a Nissan Primastar from between 2001 and 2014 and are facing difficulties in getting it to start, you're not alone. This is a common issue many owners face with this model over time. As a master technician with over 15 years of experience specializing in vans, I’ve encountered and resolved numerous cases of non-starting issues. Let’s delve into what might be causing these headaches and discuss practical steps towards a solution.
The Nissan Primastar’s refusal to start can be linked to several underlying factors. Typically, these issues may include:
1. Battery Problems: The most common culprit, an exhausted or faulty battery, might not provide enough power to crank the engine.
2. Starter Motor Failure: A defective starter motor is another frequent issue. This crucial component is responsible for setting your engine in motion when you turn the key.
3. Fuel System Issues: From clogged fuel filters to problems with the fuel pump, these can prevent your engine from getting the necessary fuel to start.
4. Electrical Faults: Any severance or wear in the electrical wiring can lead to significant issues, including failure to start.
5. Ignition System Defects: Problems with the ignition switch or immobilizer system can also prevent the engine from starting.
Addressing a non-starting Nissan Primastar involves a series of diagnostic tests to pinpoint the exact cause. We would typically start by checking the battery’s health, inspecting the starter motor, and moving on to examine the fuel and ignition systems. Each of these systems requires specific tools and expertise for effective troubleshooting and repair.
Repairing a van that won't start can be a daunting task that often leads to costly bills and valuable time spent. This is where making a practical decision comes into play.

Yes, you can indeed sell your financed van with vandervan even if it's under a Hire Purchase (HP) or Personal Contract Purchase (PCP) agreement.

Our team will walk you through the settlement process.

It makes it tougher to sell to our network of 4000+ verified dealers, as we have to wait for the DVLA to process a V62 application (usually 6 weeks), so our valuations reflect the delay in sale and storage costs while rectifying missing V5 logbooks.
