Hi all, I'm not sure I'm posting in the right place but I recently bought an older Qashqai while my main car gets repaired and I've had nothing but issues. It's a 2009 so not unexpected but now the airbag light is flashing along with the horn and some steering wheel buttons not working. No biggie according to good old google. It's just the clock spring. Took it to the only available garage and apparently a broken clock spring means a whole new steering wheel, airbag, the works, with a hefty price tag to match all delivered by the garage bloke with a head shake and a sucking of air between the teeth. I'm not physically able to do it myself but from everything I've seen, it needs nowhere near that much of a job. Anyone able to advise? Would it need that or is he pulling a fast one?

The only listing I can find is for UK models but may share transmissions https://www.castrol.com/en_gb/united-kingdom/home/product-finder.html?page=recommendedProducts&id=1468

Hi...welcome to the Club That's unfortunate to occur within such a short space of ownership - no chance you bought it from a trader and can get the repairs done free? - OBD2 Diagnostic Trouble Code P246F means that Exhaust Gas Temperature Sensor Circuit Range/Performance (Bank 1 Sensor 4) has been detected - That's what he should be looking for and it will be in the exhaust (possibly on top of the front pipe area)

Hi....welcome to the Club The early Micra's certainly do have quite a following nowadays and fast becoming a future collectors car. Unfortunately, we don't (yet) organise any rallies but feel free to put something together if you can get enough Micra owners on here to attend.

Hi Adam, In my opinion, anything but Continental. Way too much road noise, and they are very expensive.

Hi Jon, I have been towing a caravan with my 2012 2.0Ltr Quashqui for the last eight years. The car handles the towing well with no dramas, but I dread having to stop on a steep hill as I fear starting again may take miles off the clutch. On the whole I am pleased with it as a towcar, but I sometimes dream of still having my previous towcar back, which was a Mitsubishi Warrior.

Hi My Qashqui has done 68,000, and the springs and shocks are very tired, giving a very rolly ride. I am looking for recommendations for good makes, and as I tow a caravan maybe I need Heavy dutys on the back. Any advice would be very welcome.

Hello all Nissan owners. Bought a Nissan Micra 21 reg. Two weeks in. Bad luck engine light on with P246F. Shown a mechanic he had no clue where that temperature sensor was. Anyone know would be great help. Thanks

Hi Everyone, I've just imported Nissan Serena E-Power Highway Star V HFC27 1.2L ( HR12DE) and i hope everyone can welcome me here Unfortunately vehicle doesn't have owners manual inside and reading around tells me to change Gearbox Oil frequently for avoiding CVT belt issues, my region is extremely hot and i do change transmission / gearbox oil in my other vehicles frequently and it help me keep my transmissions in good shape. Can anyone tell me precisely which gearbox Oil Nissan recommends for Nissan Serena HFC27 E-Power 1.2L and in which quantity? This following YouTube link says it's MATIC-S https://youtu.be/IOQrqsztnio and some other reads says NS-3 , I'M DAMN CONFUSED 🤔 I hope someone can help me , Thanks Note : Moreover I'm amsoil fan and use it without problems in my other vehicles (ATF Signature Series Fuel Economy Blue 🔵 in Honda DW1 and Amsoil CVT in another Toyota for Toyota CVT FE)

It's now done this a couple times in cooler weather. I finally caved and we took it into a mechanic earlier in the week and they can't find anything wrong with it. If anyone has any ideas let me know. Thanks

I recently bought a 2000 Pathfinder diesel pickup (2.5L) I drove it home and it was going ok for the first 2.5 hours, but for the last hour it started losing power and would not rev. I had to stop and when I tried to start again after a minute or so, the revs came up, and also a cloud of blue smoke from the exhaust. The same pattern repeated itself for the rest of the journey and I was relieved to get it home. What could be causing this problem?

Hello there! I've got myself a Red 2000 Nissan Micra 1.0 GX Automatic yesterday and I love it! I used to see the (pre 2004 Micras) in Felixstowe all the time when I lived there years back and now I finally have one. Does the owners club have a Classic Micra Rally (or get together type thing) in the UK or did I dream that.... (nice dream if I did!)

If I were you, I would get a refund and walk away as far too many alarm bells ringing on this one and loads of work to do on the car. They are not that rare, although to find one in really good condition is worth buying and possibly hanging onto as a future classic

Hi everyone , first post here although been registered since God knows how long. Just bought a Micra k11 Activ 1.4 2001 , 87k from an elderly gent. Few bits and pieces need doing, nothing major. 11 months MOT. Paid for it , took the logbook and receipt signed by the owner saying I paid for it. I had to leave the keys with the owner as he had a lot of stuff to take out and I was very late for work. The car is an hour away from me and arranged to pick it up in a few days. Got a call from him today saying he used the car ( he shouldnt have ) and the exhaust has gone. It did have a slight leak when I bought it. He's now saying it's very loud and not really driveable and his brother in law who is a mechanic is advising him to scrap the car. He's offered me my money back by bank transfer ( although I have lost a bit of time and money in fuel costs , Dartford crossing fees etc) then I will send him back the V5 / log book by post. I said I will call him back tomorrow as I was working when he called. Afaic it's my car now , although as I said , he has the car outside his place and the key. I'm really not sure if he is telling the truth as he said when I looked at the car he had a lot of interest in the car, which im sure was true, I just got their first , a matter of hours after it was first advertised. It wasn't expensive at all , not much more than the scrap price. I'm wondering if he has had a substantially better offer for the car from someone else. It does have some corrosion on the roof and higher up on the vehicle from birds poo that was left for a long period of time and ate away at the paintwork but seems solid on the doors and sills and has passed the MOT without any fails or advisories for the last seven years which does make me suspicious as his brother in law does all the work on the car and works at or owns a local garage. The drivers door window keeps coming off the runner and the e/ window switch has been disconnected so it can't be used. A couple of other jobs to do but nothing major. The interior is lovely , , in very good order. My question(s) are : Is this model rare these days ? Is it worth anything ? I didn't even know it was a 1.4 Activ until I was there and about to buy it. Do I have the right to decide if I want to keep the car? He is saying it's better he scraps it and gives me my money back. It's a long way for me to go just to check if he is telling the truth but when I suggested rather than he send me my money back by bank transfer and I post him the log book back , I go there to his and get the cash back and give him the log book back by hand ( I can then check to see if the exhaust really is that bad ) he was against the idea saying the first way is better as it saves me making a long journey. I will have to speak to him later today and not sure it's worth spending the time sorting out the bits on the car and fighting to get the car. I was half and half I had my made the right decision buying it as I don't have much time or mechanical knowledge to do most of these repairs. Just depends if the car is sought after and worth anything as to whether I insist on the keys and taking the car. Any advice on the above would be appreciated asap.

Still got this?

Hi I’m interested in this. Just came across this post while doing a browse on the net. Could you give me a call on 07404106225

I am looking for window wind deflectors for a 2003 2 door King Cab Navara. There are plenty of Navara wind deflectors out there,but nothing for an early King Cab.

Car runs great when running , After a long drive ( 45 min > ) , it won't start again till completely cool .. Codes say nothing wrong ... Extremely puzzled. Dealership(s) is no help ... Any help would be appreciated ... hate to have to sell it because nobody can diagnose the problem ...
