Hi Everyone,
My name is Nick.
New owner of Qashqai, grey colour, 1.6 petrol, 66 plate
After being Opel/Vauxhall owner for about 15 years ( Astra and Vectra), my wife decided that it's time for a change.
Normally I don't change cars and try to repair almost everything on my cars (Used to be car mechanic many years ago).
Currently working as a Precision engineer(CNC milling and turning parts)
I'm living in TW11 area, if anyone need any help I'm always happy to help.

My first impression with my new car so far is great. No issues at all.
The only upgrades I'm thinking of are Towbar to be fitted and extra 12v cigarrete sockets in the boot and for rear passengers to get it ready for long holidays and camping in Uk as well.

That's all from me

Thanks!
1.6 Dig-T N-Connecta J11A

Nick, Hi and welcome to the QQ Forum ! 👍 unfortunately I cannot really use your help as Teddington / Twickenham is quite some trip to Berlin, Germany so will have to carry on using Nissan. 😩 I was involved a lot in the Toolmaking Industry for many years in the Design / Manufacture of Precision Plastic Molds & Press Tools. You are in the correct game CNC for repairing Diamond Cut Alloy Wheels 😊 Good to hear you are pleased with the 1,6L QQ, if you do not already know please take a look in the “Search” Area for Facts and Information there is a lot there from over the years inc. Towbars - All the Best Dave 😉

Hi Nick, Welcome. There's a really good guide on YouTube for the Ciggy 12v boot installation. I'm doing mine on the weekend.
The video creater is speaking Italian but it's very clear what he's up to.
All the best

Hi All!
I don’t want to open another subject so I’ll use that one...
I just cleaned my engine and I’m not happy with the wiring going into the ECU and some other wiring going into the fuse box(just behind the left headlight).
Please have a look on the pictures attached...
Can you share if it’s the same story with your engine?
We are speaking about MR16DDT 1.6 petrol 2016
I don’t think that it’s very professional to see the wires... or I might be wrong.
Any suggestions how to make it tidy?
I’m thinking of black insulation tape and on top auto cloth tape?
Thanks

Nick, you have already solved the problem - Black Insulation Tape. I neatened Up our New 2014 virtually immediately after delivery as there was no way even our Dealer would do the job. It turned out OK by just doing the ends - Dave 😏
