Just wanted to say hello,

Just bought a the wife a 2014 1.2 Qashqai in blue, overall very happy with the move, just got a few questions on query’s,
So after owning the car for a few weeks I have noticed the front parking sensors seam to activate in the rain when the water runs off the bonnet, is this normal?
Can anyone recommend a boot liner for the lower section of the boot I bought one but unfortunately it is for the shelf.
Also when pull out of the drive sometimes need to put full lock on when doing this at speed (putting the lock on normally standing for a very slow roll) I can hear a sound like a motor being wound hard, Is this also normal?

Hope you guys can help,
Thanks
Josh

I bought a universal size rubber mat and cut it to shape for mine.

A few people have had sensor issues in the rain - it's hot and miss really. Power steering is known to make some noises too especially when battery is a bit low (it's electrically controlled). Hopefully still under warranty (just) so ask your dealer to have a look.

Found this liner with a lip - it doesn't specifically say it goes in the bottom part of the boot rather than on the dividers, but it looks like it will to me.

I've found that when you spin some lock on too fast, it makes a noise and you feel some "back resistance" through the wheel. It's like you're turning the wheel faster than the system can cope with...................................is this what you mean?
