Greetings to y'all Glad to be part of the forum, cheers🥂

Thanks for your reply Trevor, I have had it fixed by my local Nissan dealer. It was a relay making the noise, so I guess they replaced it, as the noise is no longer there. Cheers.

Thankyou.shes got wheels now! I am trying to keep it as period as possible

That is not right if the brakes are spongy and should be returned to rectify the fault

No, that is not the case, the pedal should be up the top and firm not at the bottom of its travel. Sounds like they have not set up the brake compensator (if fitted) and this is affecting the brake pressure. Alternatively, there may be air trapped in the system and needs bleeding out

I believe it is a case of lifting it up from the shift lever but watch your face as it flies up .... been there and it hurt 🙂

Like any radiator, you would need to drain and recover the coolant (which could be reused if the antifreeze strength is sufficient. Removal is then just a case of remove and refit components and then ensure there is no air trapped in the cooling system by running up and observing the temperature (hopefully the fan will kick in as well) and also check the heater blows hot

Thats a good result for a cost free warranty job

You are correct, it would be the left hand (nearside) wheel bearing as this is unloading the weight when you steer left

It looks in amazing condition and nice to know the old ones are still being cherished by enthusiasts

How has this improved (if at all) since you posted? It also depends on the type of journey as a hybrid relies on regenerative braking to put a charge in the batteries This can only be achieved in town traffic or elsewhere there is stop start driving. It is unlikely to be achieved on motorway or extra urban driving

Sounds more like a WhatsApp issue if other apps are working fine?

There is a throttle potentiometer switch on the pedal if it is the same as most other Nissan models and it maybe this which is clicking....although maybe worth checking no debris has collected under the pedal and around the switch

I had to replace the rear subframe which cost £700, but now the brake pedal feels spongy and very weak.

Hi, I had my subframe replaced a few days ago after hitting the kerb! But now, the brake pedal is so weak, literally need to press to the floor. The garage people said that it’s normal and takes a while to go back to normal. I’m just wondering if this is normal.. or they’ve fixed one problem and created another. I paid £700 to replace the subframe. Thanks

1989 Nissan Bluebird for sale Red 1.8L engine Automatic Hello, I’m trying to sell my lovely vintage Nissan Bluebird. The car has been off road for the past 6 months due to a relocation, and I can’t keep it any longer. MOT recently expired, and has a small (I’m told) engine problem, so new buyer would need to tow it. All working parts inside and under bonnet aside from engine problem. Drivers side electric window in need of new motor. It’s been well looked after, I’ve had it 3 years and before then was kept in storage for 10 years by an old collector. 65,000 miles approx very low for the age. I’m looking to sell for £1000-1500 but will consider any sensible offers in this region. I can be contacted on 07718 927124 and email ciaranthomaswood@gmail.com thanks

Each time I accelerate or release the accelerater there is a very annoying clicking noise, low down to my right. It sounds to me, like a relay operating! Does anyone know if Nissan recognise it as a known fault please? Thanks.

My juke has a bad wheel bearing, while driving it gets worse with speed but as soon as i turn left it goes silent and then when i straight up again it comes back. Would i be correct in thinking because im loading the right side of my car as im turning left and unloading the weight from the left wheel then it is the left wheel bearing that is bad? in my mind the noise goes away because the weight had been reduced from that side?? im replacing the bearing soon so any comments welcome please. Steve.

How easy & what is required to remove radiator from pixo?

Hey all I can't play back my WhatsApp VN audio when bluetooth is connected, either through the car or iPhone. Everything else works ok, except the voice notes. Is this a Connect issue? Pretty sure it's not a WhatsApp issue having looked online. I have a QQ 2013. MTIA

Hi Trevor, blasting didn't work so took it to the local Nissan Dealership. They identified a problem with the Ad-blue system and replaced the tank and pump on warranty. Did a great job. 👍

My husband took delivery of his brand new petrol auto mild hybrid car 10 days ago. I know it’s early days but he is just about to fill his car up and noticed it’s only done 30 MPG on the first lot of petrol put in. It done 271 miles with the 40 litres he put in (8.8 gallons). He changed his car to a mild hybrid as reports were stating you should get at least 43/44 MPG, so the mileage he is getting is almost 30% less, which is massive 😮 Would just like to know from anyone who has this car what king of mileage you have been getting. thanks

Hi Trevor, thanks for this. Ended up buying the car yesterday, 2.0L Qashqai+2 Acenta. Drives real smooth, lovely and quiet, decent power, overall, very happy with it. One thing my wife has ordered is a new gear know as the other has worn - are these easy to replace? Gear knobs of old simply screwed off, but this has the lift handle for reverse, and I'm wondering how much trouble this may cause?

Well this is its " I've saved it from the previous owner" look lol. But there are a few bits needed to get it how I want it
