Hi, my mum has a 2005 Micra, she doesn’t want to sell it, ever. It has c40k mileage and drives like a dream! But, the tailgate switch has failed and I’m struggling to get a replacement - it’s the intelligent key version - part number 25380AX10B. Any ideas please?? There loads of the 25380AX60B but these aren’t compatible with the intelligent key. Thanks in anticipation!

I am really sorry to hear that -sadly you don’t have dig deep to see lots of other people in the same boat. I am afraid I found Nissan completely awful to deal with- I really hope you have better luck as we have lost thousands. Citizens advice suggested approaching the car finance company if you have a finance deal because claims can be made outside the warranty of the vehicle. Trading standards are also worth contacting - the more of us who contact the DVSA with evidence I think the better - because engine failure without warning is very dangerous, particularly as this is such a popular family car. I am planning on sending details about this issue to car journalists. I hope you get a happier resolution.

Exact same thing just happened to me this weekend, car just stopped with no warning! I'm going to try and claim through my finance company claiming a breach of my consumer rights but i'm not hopeful. Looking online it seems the problem is endemic!

Hi, We have a 2009 Nissan Micra K12 and after a replacement Parcel shelf clip as per the attached picture. Can anyone advise on a part number or where they can be purchased?

Hi, welcome to the Club Good to have you onboard!

Hello All, Hope everyone is doing well and keeping happy. Wondering if anyone can shed some light, have a late 2017 Nissan QQ 1.2 DIG-T. When you rev up the vehicle as the revs start to drop back down you can hear a single thud sound (sounds like hitting a bongo drum) Thank you very much

Hey all, Hope life has been treating you well. I have an odd, So I have a Nissan QQ 1.2 dig 2017. I have noticed that when move off in reverse or set of forward you get a clicking noise from front driver side wheel (see video: https://youtu.be/btICZDUeN4E?si=Z_dPz4Ju8Nc86824 but it only does it once on the initial reverse set off or forward set off which would suggest it's not something getting caught. You can make it also do it, if you are in reverse gear, holding the brake and letting out the clutch pedal all whilst stationary Things done: I have inspected all suspension components. There is.in and out play in of drive shaft. 2) Checked.dog.bone mount. 3) checked for play in wheel / wheel bearing 4) check with wheel on for anything catching. If anyone has any ideas? Thank you

Hi everyone Just joined, so saying hi from sunny Brighton. I have recently purchased a Nissan Qashqai (2010) model and loving it so far jay316

Thank you yes haven’t given up yet as we really looked after our car so feel it is pretty unfair 🙃

its amazing how powerful the media can be in resolving such issues with manufacturers - keep trying as you may get a good outcome

Thank you - the ombudsman is the direction we are heading but I am surprised the DVSA has not taken it seriously as I have read about lots of other people who had the same experience but in much more dangerous situationseg: on motorways and again with no dashboard warnings. Nissan have apparently revamped this part a few times but shocked how they have washed their hands without any help.

you could try running it through Google Lens which may identify the model

i would say its a case for the ombudsmen and certainly run it past citizens advice to get some more guidance on pursuing a claim If unsuccesful then a secondhand engine (with the revised cooling system parts) may be the most financially advisable way forwards

I had a catastrophic Qashqai engine failure without warning. Thermostat housing split open leaking coolant, the engine overheated and an engine warning light only came on a few seconds before I came to a total standstill. RAC rescue van confirmed he had come across this problem with Qashqai’s before, my garage confirmed this was the issue and with minimal research we found other Qashqai drivers had exactly the same experience as me. My husband stopped just last week to talk to another Qashqai driver in Norwich who had the same issue. Nissan have been totally unhelpful - they said I would have to pay £180 for a diagnosis and of course as the engine wasn’t working I would have also had to pay for transport. The DVSA said Nissan were aware of this problem and were dealing with it but not so in my case - I have never had any notification that there was an issue with this part failing. Nissan gave an outline price for reconditioned engine replacement of £11,500 - £3000 more than the car was worth. The particularly frustrating part about this is I had loved my car - it was in pretty perfect shape. We have lost £8000-9000 and it seems incredibly wasteful when Nissan could have recalled Qashqais and changed this relatively cheap part.

I recently got a 2019 Tekna which I'm finding is very "jittery" at low speeds, particularly when cold. Anyone else finding the sane?

Hi everyone I have a 58 plate d40 and have bought a canopy for it my question is how does the mountain top come off my d40 to fit the canopy please. Scot

Hi....and welcome to the Club

Certainly a cheap fix but should it be necessary on a new vehicle?

Just joined. So thought I'd say hello from sunny (lol) Southend on Sea.

Hi all. New-to-me owner here - an NP300 N-Guard - picked up 2 weeks ago and still getting to grips with it. Former owner of a T31 X-Trail for 11 years, so sticking with a known and (reasonably) well-trusted brand. Only after purchase and after a 200+ mile drive home did I realise that there was no 'key nut' for the lock-nuts on the tarmac-touching wheels, but a trip to the local dealer sorted that particular issue (at a cost, obviously). In putting the truck in to a local provider of underbody rust protection treatment yesterday. I learned that there was a security lock nut applied to the spare wheel too. Guess what? The key nut required for that, which attaches to a T-bar in the provided toolkit, wasn't anywhere to be found either, so the guy couldn't fully complete his treatment on the underside of the tub. I spoke to both previous owners of the vehicle, and neither could recall having seen nor had need to use that part (nor the key nut for the 'in-use' wheels. Too far down the line to know for sure if they weren't originally provided, or if someone's memory isn't what it should be. However, fact is, if I get a puncture and need to replace a wheel, I'm screwed until I get a key nut to drop the spare wheel. I called the local dealership after talking to the two previous owners. I explained my situation and, of course, a key nut is available to order (again, at cost), but as part of a set replacing the whole set-up, and removing the old part is, according to the parts guy, "tricky, but do-able". He added that the key nut would have to be part of a set 'cos the current lock nut would have a different design. Having looked online at images for the offending parts, it seems that the 'pattern' of the lock and key nuts are the same in every one, and this applies to D40 and NP300 models. Can anyone confirm if this is the case, please? If so, I can get a set off ebay for £20 less than Nissan are charging. Thanks in advance.

I have a nissan qashqai j11 reversing problem. When I put in reverse and try to move the engine stop, it is a manual diesel stop start.

Hi. If you need any help with insurance at all then please feel free to drop me a line. Regards, Dan.

Thanks for your reply, This is what I have tried to put in, but as soon as I input my Registration Number for a quote, it automatically fills in Electric in the field, and I’m unable to change it -I can’t find anywhere to put petrol hybrid in the insurance search sites!

I'm having problems removing my wheels, having taken out the 4 wheel bolts the wheel seems to be stuck to the hub of the wheel. Any help please.
