That's very useful Gazza. I assume you're well-please with the car? I am most impressed by the V6 engine used in the QX, its a real gem, and the autobox is not bad either.
My '98 has required nothing as yet - but then its only just done 30k miles.
I would be interested to know the approx. cost of each of the items, including the full exhaust and the CV gaiters. I did a quick costing of parts for the QX before I bought the car and found most service replacement parts to be relatively reasonable. Nissan don't seem to rip you off quite a much as some other Japanese brands......
