Hi all,

Picked up my new Qashqai yesterday and absolutely love it:

Its a 1.5 dCi Tekna and im really impressed with it. Took the long way home from the dealers last night with it and loved every minute. Sat on the drive most of the evening to playing with the toys and even went for a pay with the park assist in tesco car park

It was B&Q for us!

(can't say we've used it much since then)

Yea its a cool feature but cant see I will use it that much.

Peter, the QQ is looking nice but shame about the weather though, it will need a clean soon

. The "Self Parking" is probably a nice to have option, the wife has used it when we picked up the QQ but since then never again. It is fine for car parks but when you play around parking in a street you get the Ranters & Ravers giving the Horn & other signs. We tend to use the "Camera" for parking against Kerbs though (just think of the Wheels) - Enjoy your QQ Dave

Thanks Dave,

Yea I have told the wife to stay as far away from the kerbs as possible with these wheels!

The best colour; be careful with those diamond cut wheels. I've fitted blue Alloygators on mine.

Tip:
When parking & cameras display on screen, press CAMERA button again to have just a close up image of the n/side of your QQ

Thanks Gel

How do you find the gators? I read they can cause slow leaks in the tyre as it stops them fully sealing. Did you fit them yourself?

Yes fitted myself. I don't find occasional need to top up pressures a great hassle with my Lidl 12v pump.

Thanks for that I will have a look at these. Possibly a small price to pay and inconvenience for the protection of wheels.

Peter, if you are really interested in "Alloygators" then just enter this in the "Search" Facility and you will bombarded with all of the Posts and facts good, bad and whatever, but worth a read to keep yourself up to date - Dave
