Re: Oil at Delivery

Thanks for responses so far. Yes I have owners manual so will consult and have downloaded a Nissan App (virtual reality - you have to point it at controls/knobs in the car), not sure if that is the one you are referring to. Did find it odd the delivery guy said nothing about the oil until I opened t...

Re: Oil at Delivery

PS Car was a direct delivery rather than bought through a dealer. So my comments reflect what the delivery driver told me. He worked for Nissan and said the vehicles coming out of the UK factory in Sunderland are then taken to Leicester for processing/distribution. Said the clear oil was less viscou...

Re: Oil at Delivery

I also ask, are there any running in requirements ?
Again I asked the Nissan delivery guy and he said no - none whatsoever.

Car was delivered with 6miles on the clock.

Oil at Delivery

Just had my Qashqai delivered. On checking the oil at delivery I was told the cars have a special oil in them from the factory to avoid problems should the vehicle be parked up for months before it gets sold. This oil is essentially clear so pulling the dipstick means it is quite difficult to see th...

Re: New 12.3" Infotainment display from N-Connecta

Thanks MikeGC. I tend to keep my cars a long time (TDCi Focus for 14 Years!). So the thought of being behind at the outset is annoying. One might imagine they wouldn’t be changing the wiring loom etc but you never know I suppose. I like playing with some tech and fear only those with the new screen ...

Re: New 12.3" Infotainment display from N-Connecta

Uh-oh. Thanks.
Think I could still maybe cancel. Anyone know if it can be retrofitted yet.
I think it is really bad of Nissan - people buy a new model, and instantly now in the used market buyers will deprecate the launch year models for having the old screen.

Re: New 12.3" Infotainment display from N-Connecta

OK, showing my ignorance on VINs.
The 10th digit given is U
According to google this should be model year - but U is not used - and 2022 is N.
So WTF ?

Re: New 12.3" Infotainment display from N-Connecta

Hi, I have just been informed after an 8 month wait that my Tekna is ready for delivery. Is there any way to tell whether I will get the new improved display ? For example from the chassis number ? TBH I am already feeling p***** that the first new car I have ever ordered is likely already out of da...
