Hi masters,

I just got a 2nd hand almera. Need to ask some question cos imma noob and the car doesnt come w a manual/handbook. The car is 2015 made (1yr old only) but has got no service record (odo says 20,9++ only) with the radio unit changed and used car seller did oil service themselves already. The car is repainted (bodykit also different colour) & i noticed the screws on the body has been tempered with (refer pic), most probably for the repainting.

1) does the repainting, tempered screws & self service voids the warranty?
2) when drive on uneven road, got 'tak tak tak' sound. Read this thread & many experience this also. What sound is that and is it really normal? How to remedy this?
3) got a bit of metal brushing sound at the tyre sometimes. What may be the cause since its kinda worrying for me.
4) if i wanna send the car to remedy the above 2 probs & for future services, shud i go to official sc or go 3rd party?

Thanx in advance~

Used carvtrader said no accident. Maybe they unscrew for the repainting. The car got no service record previously albeit the odo has got 20k on it... so i guess it wasnt repaired by nissan. And repainting is by the used car trader. Conclusion: void warranty?
What about the tak tak sound when drive on uneven road & the brushing metal sound at the tire? Any idea what are those extra music?

The car trader repaint all the cars they sell. The screw are not missing, just that they were marks that it has been unscrewed & rescrewed. Anyway, pretty sure void warranty already.

No service book & used car trader service on yheir own before deliver the car.. so memang no warranty already.


Anyway, if i were to settle the tak tak & metal brushing sounds + for future services, shud i go nissan sc or go 3rd party? Which would be better now that no warranty.
