Re: Qashqai Automatic Gearbox Issues

Bought my 1.2 CVT new in may 16, it was fine for the first 18 months. Slow down to almost crawl then accelerate away and it can't decide what to do for the first second so shudders, sometimes a little, sometimes a lot. Had a few software updates that help for a week or two. Have been complaining for...

Re: Keep or Change ??

Congrats. Mine is 3 years old now with 30k on the clock. Personally I will wait for the new model to arrive hopefully in 2020 as I believe the equipment will be much more up to date in the new model, maybe even digital dash with maps etc. like the VW's and Audi's, there isn't enough changes in the f...

Re: Which colour red

I bought a chipex kit last month and NAJ is also known as NISSAN ALIZARIN CRIMSON. I had to check as I hadn't heard of that one - but it matches :)

Re: Wheel Corrosion

The trouble is that the Tekna wheels are diamond cut. If there is a slight bit of damage to the clear lacquer water will get in behind and cause the damage you can see on yours. It could have been when the tyres were mounted or from a stone chip (it'll be hard to prove either way). Diamond cut wheel...

Re: MPG again and a genera rant!

I never expected to get the claimed figure but somewhere handy would be nice! Claimed figure of 17.9 km/l (50.5mpg) Expected around 15 km/l (42mpg) Real world 12-13 km/l (34-37mpg) The best my wife and I have got was 15.9 km/l over 8 km at 80km/h from town to our drive, and that was the only time we...

Lol, like I want to drive 1000 miles at 60 on the motorway. 60 instead of 70 would take an extra 2 1/2 hours on an already long trip :evil:

Re: MPG again and a genera rant!

Last time I did it in a BMW 735i (3.6Litre) and got 32mpg, this time in the 1.2Litre QQ i got 36mpg. I was taking it easier in the QQ this time around 70-75mph on cruise con...

Re: Another Recall

Mine was in just after new year to have the mud flaps refitted, they also said there was a potential problem with the arch linings so they did this extra work too.

Re: Qashqais feel the cold.

I asked our dealer yesterday and it seems that Sweden, Norway and Finland get this kit for free, but if I want one I have to buy it in Sweden.

One plus is the QQ is now going in to have the mudflaps refitted, they haven't fitted very well from day one.
