Hi back in 2005 i treated myself to a nissan x-trail 2.2dci i then bought an ifor willians twin wheel trailer to ferry materials and equipment to and from france, it was not long before the clutch began to smell especially when reversing, looking on the web i found it was a common problem with the x-trail due to the duel mass flywheel getting hot, further investigation found that this problem was not confined to x-trails in fact ford, volvo, audi, scoda, to name but a few were also having problems, but they overcome it by reverting to a solid flywheel, but not nissan, after a lot of searching i spoke to a company in leeds who make flywheel conversions , they have agreed to make a one off solid flywheel and supply a suitable cluch kit for my xtrail, the downside is i will need to send them the old unit to use as a pattern. if all goes well i will be pleased to use the vehicle again for towing as it has all the power needed and good fuel economy, but it would mean my trusty mitsubishi l200 animal would have to go as i cant justify keeping both.
if anybody has the same problem call the clutch specialists, leeds 01132 426359 i spoke to linda who was most helpful.
