hmm, have you got a video camera with relatively good microphone! You could take a video with the noise, thats better than describing the noise.

Thanks for reply, will be hard for record the noise, I only can hear it when I driving with my window down, I checked the engine room this afternoon, no leaking oil or water, drives good as well.

are there any particular conditions which make the noise! for example when the engine is under load, coasting, in gear, in neutral or whatever is applicable

Does it have a vacuum pump on the back of the alternator! If so maybe the spline is worn. Try taking the belt off your alternator and going for a drive.Sometimes you get away with locktite you do it early enought

there is a tin cone sort of thing off the back of the transfer case, this is where the driveshaft fits in. it is designed to stop grit etc getting to the rear seal. it has about 1mm of clearance around the front universal of the rear driveshaft. sometimes they become miss-aligned causing a faint rubbing or scraping sound. jack the back of the vehicle off the gound (both wheels) start it up, stick it into 3rd or fourthgear, let the clutch out and then go looking and listening. but for gods sake do not go driving with the alternator belt off. you will have virtually no brakes after the third pump.

I could suggest that the release shaft in the drivers door locking mechanism required a new spine fitted but I wont.
Stop misleading the poor bloke. He clearly hasn't the faintest idea about motors, let alone how to fix them and you're surely confusing him and raising his finance anxiety levels.Out of curiosity, could it be a stone in the tyres or does the noise persist when stationary!
He has four choices.
1. Join the AA recovery scheme and keep driving it until it (possibly) fails.
2. Take it to the Nissan main dealer with your life savings.
3. Sell it for what you paid.
4. Listen to the experts on here and in six months you'll be more highly strung, untrusting of the vehicle and still hearing the noises.
We have one of these and it rattles and bangs along but has done this for the last 200,000kms. If it stops then it stops and I'll fix it then!

Simply take it to a NON franchised garage for a cheap diagnosis.
