If you have a Nissan brand chain on your car it should last the life of the motor I have an Xtrail and thats what they told me contact Nissan.

I disagree with that. Chain wear & stretch especially with turbo Diesels. I have heard that th Primary timing chain failure at around 100,000Km with carbon biuld up, even with regular servicing. Check the Nissan Forums.

My car is 2007 model it has close to 100,000kms on the clock I asked do I change my timing belt the service manager told me that its a chain and they dont change them, it is very rare, maybe because mine is petrol and yours is diesel? I have no idea I just figured if mine broke or played up I would go back to the same guy and say WTF mate you told me it would live :)
