Child lock problem.

I have a child in a car seat in the rear passenger side. The rear passenger door child lock has been playing up. I thought I had been accidentally turning it off by brushing against it when getting him in/out. However on investigation it seems it is "sprung" as if its natural position is o...

Re: 1.6 dig-t ecu update/recall

Yes same letter here...not booked in yet. I also have an issue with the pull away "flat spot" but it would seem this ecm update will not do anything for that. The turbo kicks in at 2000 rpm and you can hear it like a "boom" sound when the revs pick up. At which point, ironically,...

Re: Clutch squeak / creak

I'll go check that grommet. When I vaselined the rod that grommet wasn't central to the rod. Maybe my grommet isn't in place either. Thanks

Re: Clutch squeak / creak

Yes...it's like treading on a frog every time you use the clutch. If you get right down in the footwell you can see a small rod going through a rubber hole/grommet. This rod is attached to the clutch. It's very annoying. I was gonna go back to the dealer but instead I first wiped a little wd40 on it...

Re: MPG again and a genera rant!

Definitely not....ive been driving it nice and easy trying to get the mpg up but simply cant. All my driving is small runs on local roads though, and that would be a possible indicator. Nissans quote is for "mixed driving" and that is a very loose term. I always reset the mpg with every fi...

Re: MPG again and a genera rant!

1.6 dig-t
Excellent performance. But my mpg is always hovering around 31-34 mpg. Nissan state something like 47mpg mixed driving. Simply not possible.

Re: 1.6 Dig-t

This is odd...but...I've been driving the 1.6 now a bit more aggressively. Not paying soo much attention to the "blue bar" and driving like I would normally. Pulling away faster for example. I'm now getting closer to 35 mpg on cold starts short runs. I've done 1200 miles so far.
