Re: Interior light bulb size...

Done all the interior lighting, I found OEM LED footwell lights made by Hella on ebay so they were easy to do, I am waiting for LED H7 bulbs to come down to a sensible price before I do the headlamps so I have compromised with buying PIAA Hyper Arros halogen bulbs which are 3900 kelvin light colour...

Re: Interior light bulb size...

They are 31mm size bulbs - bought a couple from that well known internet auction site and braved the cold today to fit the first one....an easy job and the light output from a 1 watt LED is incredible compared with the 8w bulb originally fitted! Well worth the cost.

Re: Time to service the J10

C3 and C4 oils are for diesel engines. The correct oil for the HR16DE engine as specified in the Nissan lubrication chart is fully synthetic 5W40 A3/B4 or 10W40 A3/B4.

Interior light bulb size...

I am in the process of trying to replace most of the bulbs in my 2012 J10 with LEDS and I have conflicting information on the festoon bulb in the rear map reading lights. The handbook says 8W but Mr. Haynes says 5W! Nowhere does it specify the length of the festoon bulb either. Can anybody tell me ...

Re: Radio aerial....

It's a 2012 J10 N-Tec+ - just has an AM/FM radio which I hardly ever listen to anyway - I play CD's instead.

How do you suggest cutting it to fit the badge?
