I don't know if this is the right place to post, so my apologies if not. Just a quick line to say that, following seen posted On-Site suggestions regarding SatNavs, I contacted info@satnavishop.co.uk for a possible Update Card for my 2009 Note (Connect 1) System. And what a service! Quick, informative and a Very Good Price; £40 ... Nissan wanted £130! But it gets better from there. When the New Card arrived it updated the Map files okay, and all checked out with the list of Previous Journeys, but New Destinations did not, would not, work. An email brought a very swift reply with suggestions to try. A second email, when these failed, brought another swift reply with a No Quibble: "Please return faulty Card for exchange." And, even before I'd despatched the Old, it's replacement arrived; all within the space of a week! I'm very pleased to say the New Card appears to work fine; and I'm more than pleased with the fast, efficient, 'No Quibble' Service - a rare thing in today's World. So, many thanks to All for the Posts seen, and many, many thanks to info@satnavishop.co.uk for such excellence of Service; I can thoroughly recommend them. Harry, the Happy Driver!

I can only really find springs which will drop the height but not sure about other suspension components to complement the springs (dampers, links, etc) https://www.lkperformance.co.uk/car-parts/suspension/lowering-springs/nissan/pathfinder

A couple of things come to mind - you could also try some additives to see if this improves things. If it is breathing heavy then usually bores/rings, etc but if you have tested compression (wet and dry) then this may not be an issue. Worth considering an additive such as StopSmoke or similar to see if any difference and also may change the engine oil for a heavier weight. Finally, if the car has been driven in a high gear and just cruised along for most of its life then it probably isn't run in yet....diesels (as you may know) need to be run hard to bed everything in and to maintain and low carbon emission level (gummed up rings, etc)

This is quite normal as it dims everything for nighttime driving. If you have the infotainment screen fitted then this also dims as well

There was I thinking a System Fault must be serious but after some delving into the reams of paper that make up the Leaf owners book, I find that it is nothing major after all. I think one of the radars giving blind spot protection must have failed because switching off all of these functions the warning has gone! I don't think I will bother to do anything about this as if there was one function I would consider completely uneccessary in a car it would be this. The electronics systems fitted in modern cars, to my mind , is ridiculous. I suppose it is all leading up to when the human driver is superfluous? I also wish Nissan would include a manual that is specific to the actual model to which is it issued it is very confusing to have a manual that has all the items fitted to all models and nothing to indicate what is not fitted to a particular car! I am considering purchasing one of those OBDs, the Topdon Carpal looks like a good contender but I could not find anything on their website to see if it can diagnose faults in a Nissan Leaf. Perhaps there is someone on this site that would know?

Doesn't your fuel flap lock when you lock the car? Mine certainly does. Maybe your just wanting extra security - if so ignore my post 👍

You can get the FSM's from the web, quite a few pdf's for a full set, but worth it.

Sounds like they have arrived a diagnostic conclusion which seems quite reasonable. Not sure why it cuts out though, but sometimes this can occur when the engine revs 'stumble' Please let us know how it all goes

If it is coming from the interior (e.g. back of the steering wheel) then it could be the SRS rotary coupler as they can suffer from moisture and dirt ingress over time

I used Lens on my old Alphard years ago.. worked a treat. once settings set up then let it be.

Hi....welcome to the Club Please let us know how you get on with it all Good to have you onboard

Hi .... welcome to the Club Nice collection of cars - good to have you onboard

Only done 10 miles but loving it already. We did have a Kadjar as a company car for 2 years so I had an idea of what it would be like.

Not on late models as it an EU requirement as I understand it. Mine is set up with a shortcut to turn audio warning off by pressing control switch and Okay.

Hi Nissan Lovers !!! I'm LA I'm wondering if anyone out there loves the 2001 5-speed as much as I do. The one I have, sadly is in need of some major engine work that I cannot afford to do. I've been lovingly taking care of it for all these years, but the engine work will cost more than I can afford. It's got a 8 month old clutch, 8 month old Michelin Defender tires, the seats are pristine as is the interior. Is there anyone in Colorado that "might" be interested ? I hate to let it go, but need to at this time. LA

welcome to the club !!

Hi Simon...welcome to the Club You certainly have a good collection of Nissans Good to have you onboard

In the UK there is a windscreen company called Autoglass and they have all the equipment and necessary knowledge to set up the ADAS If there is somewhere similar in Sweden that you could take the car to for a check and if necessary get them to set it up correctly

Thanks for the tip, I will check them out. Cheers.

First thing I would have suggested is fitting a new good quality battery. Also, not entirely sure if maybe the stored battery voltage needs resetting with a scan tool

Hi ..... welcome to the Club It's a perfect car for local use more so than motorway but it should be mostly reliable and also economical Enjoy the forums

I bought this: Tuqiang Car Seat Covers For Nissan X- Trail 2014-20 5 Seat Full Set PU Leather but the purchase fell through so it is now up for sale. It is not used. It is listed on ebay https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/297629455187

I just tried taking down my spare tire to check the air pressure. Needless to say, I don't think it had ever been out. Due to the cold climate (Salted winter roads, Northern Canada), the bolt was very rusty and try as I might, no lube was enough and I snapped the bolt in the "hook" assembly that holds the spare tire carrier up under the car. Does anyone have a usable bolt and hook assembly that they'd be willing to sell?

there are some posts on google search relating to the PO409 code I would first start by running some cleaning solution through the fuel and give the engine a very long high revs run to burn off any excess carbon that has collected in the EGR or Intake Manifold
