Re: Dashboard alligment

I visited the dealership today and the guy there told me that there are ten screws that hold the dashboard and they need to unmount many parts to have an access and they suggest me for one more time not to involve in all this process cause may have other problems after that as rattles. So they are ...

Re: To sell or keep on going?!

If you need £500 of maintenance this year, plus a service, say £800 all in? It only works out better to swap for a new car, if you can get one for monthly payments of less than £67 per month over 6 years. Which is impossible. Your car just needs some routine maintenance of consumable parts. If you s...

Re: Not a good day

Is it really 'coding to the car', as the battery still only has 2 terminals.... is it more just telling the car it's got a brand new battery?

Re: Fitting stop start module on RHD Qashqai

In case it helps anyone else.... my RHD Qashqai had this handy little fusebox behind the panel to the right of the dash. The top row of fuses are, left to right: CVT_IG AUDIO_IG METER_IG The device worked connected to METER_IG, but as AUDIO_IG was vacant I decided to use that, and it seems to be fin...

The sub is in the wheel well, the amplifier is under the drivers seat. The sub in the wheel well has only a 4-pin connector.......

Re: Battery life expectancy

Had to replace the battery on my 2015 1.5 Qashqai in 2019. Rumour was there was a dodgy batch at the time of production but Nissan kept stum. The RAC guy said the stop/start feature takes it toll on the battery so I always disable it when I remember. Wasn't that the whole FIAMM battery disaster? Mi...

Battery life expectancy

Hi all, Had an engine warning light on the past 3 days, so popped into a local garage who confirmed the battery was low, and recommended replacement. Battery is just over 4yrs old. And then to make things interesting, the car wouldn't start and so it's sitting outside their workshop in the hope they...

Re: Late 2018 Tekna+ DCT - no ProPilot & Auto-Hold

Well, confirmed that the socket didn't match, so there is more to it than they used an old handbrake switch without auto-hold. Mine has a smaller socket with less pins.

Hey ho....!
