Re: Spare wheel bigger than standard wheels

My 17" spare (with the sub in the middle) is 155/80/17 which is 0.7% smaller diameter than my 225/45/19 tyres. I bought it off eBay:

Re: Radar deactivated

My new QQ tekna+ has had a couple of issues with the high tech stuff! The radar has turned off a couple of times in heavy rain each time for half a minute or so. On a couple of occasions I've had random warning beeps and an orange triangle appear (not necessarily together) for a second when I've pas...

Re: Cruise Control

I assume you mean "not working"!

I think you would be best to take your car to a Nissan garage who would have all the necessary diagnostic equipment. I'm pretty sure they would be able to find the cause.

Re: New 69plate QashQai tekna

The windows on my new QQ misted up a bit and I found the inside of the windows were greasy, or some sort of coating, so I cleaned them thoroughly with car window cleaning wipes and the problem has virtually gone.

Re: RANGE ON A FULL TANK?

210 miles doesn't sound very much for a tankful. How much do you get in when you fill up? If you get 50 litres in then you are getting about 20 mpg which could be caused by countless short shopping runs, or if you regularly do longer runs then it looks like something is wrong with the engine (blocke...

Re: J10 heating

As you say, if the temp gauge goes to the middle, I'd think that shows that the engine temp is about right so maybe its not the thermostat. Not having specific knowledge of this fault on this car I'm sorry but am not sure what to suggest. Good luck!

Re: J10 heating

It could be a faulty engine cooling system thermostat. If you consider that the cooling system must have the capacity to cool the engine during a heatwave, it follows that it will cool it too much in cold weather. The thermostat should restrict the flow of water, always keeping the engine temperatur...

I keep wondering if I have done something wrong and would value your opinion. According to the results I get it seems to me that Mikey1958's...
