Re: Not using car for 16 days - will battery survive?

So if I'm understanding this correct, with some cars you should consider disconnecting the battery if leaving the car for a few weeks? I just had to have my QQ battery replaced, as it failed to start on two occasions, and then apparently the AA put a non Nissan battery in, which Nissan just swapped ...

Re: Is there a dpf dash warning light?

Yep, it's happened......Nissan say my DPF needs replacement.......£1300! Happy new year to you Nissan!!! Any alternatives folks? How long have you had your QQ, and what's your yearly mileage? I currently have a leased QQ, but considering buying it next year, but I live in London and only do long tr...

Re: Renault Kadjar

I thought that they were Captures at first, as they didn't appear to have a huge presence on the road, and are less aggressive looking than the QQ. From the side, they really do look very similar. That's my thought (but only from seeing pics and videos), I like that the QQ looks a bit agressive (mo...

Re: Renault Kadjar

Take a closer look at the X1, then you will see that it is poorly spec'd, not particularly attractive, and merely an excuse to have a key with a BMW badge on it.... I looked at them, and the Audi Q3 amongst others when I was looking, and the QQ won by far on the looks, the comfort and the kit. Was ...

Re: Renault Kadjar

From most of the reviews, they seem to be saying the Kadjar is a slightly better vehicle all round. From my view at least in the looks department, interior and exterior, I prefer the QQ, but most reviewers have stated the Kadjar is sltighly better looking and the interior slightly better quality. I'...

New QashQai's 2015/16

I picked up my 1.6 CVT QQ on the 15th of Oct 2014, and this lag is the first thing I noticed when driving the car home from the dealer. I'm no car expert, but I think it's purely a case of turbo lag, especially when the revs are below 2000rpm. It seems to feel worse when at lower speeds you come of ...

Play music button for USB/iPhone on Connect

Actually I was at a Nissan dealer 3 days ago and mentioned it to one of the sales guys, and he reckons that if you double press the Aux button, it should start play back. I haven't tried it yet, as funnily enough since updates to iOS it seems that the iPhone does now restart music play back after I ...

Play music button for USB/iPhone on Connect

[quote="Atif"]Mike, my car does the same thing, but I have android phone. It started to occur after first Connect update. Before that, it continued automatically after the phone call. Contact your dealer, maybe there is update available, which should cure the issue. With the gearbox change...
