Nissan's local dealer sent me a email with the repair cost , they also found one of the springs had cracked and needed repairing which turned the cost up to £1294 luckily the warranty covers the cost

Hi, thanks for letting me join the group. I have a 2010 Nissan note and I am having problems resetting the oil service light. When I try to reset as per the manual nothing happens. The spanner symbol is flashing and the zero as soon as the ignition is switched on. Also the when pushing the right hand trip button the clock will not adjust.

Hi Can anyone recommend a reliable garage in Maidstone to service my 2013 Qashqai? I just moved there so need some guidance. Thanks in advance.

Sometimes when I accelerate from a slow speed eg approaching a roundabout - there is a lack of response unless I rapidly tap the accelerator and and then get a response. Dealer says issue is relearn gearbox - a software download from Nissan headquarters - that in my case is not working. Has anyone else had a similar issue and was it resolved?

Slight correction , the basic harness has only 1 whit plug and no canbus . They all “work” but none allow SWC !! The “SWC APP” built into the head unit does not recognise the buttons being pressed !!

Am I correct in thinking that a pulsar with no factory fitted 360 or reversing camera (2015) can NOT have the steering wheel controls function with a Chinese android aftermarket head unit ? - it came with 2 canbus and 3 harnesses - 1 fits and works , 1 has the 2 connectors but one of them is too small but works when fitted , and the 3rd basic one has no canbus and not 1 white plug but works pretty much the same except for spatial adjustment ( fixed as centre for sound )

Hi from Ireland

Cheers Steve for that,has put my mind at ease a bit got the car booked in on Thursday for them to check it out let you know the outcome

Hello... I have a 2014 Nissan 370z with only 6,100 miles that has suddenly developed an intermittent clutch issue. I lose cluth pedal and goes to floor occasionally, and the car can sit for a few days, and the problem goes away. Clutch and transmission will then operate perfectly for a week or two, and then the loss of pedal issue appears again. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Chuck

Hi, Yes, unless you have modified it, damaged it yourself then you should be fine. Don't take any BS from them. Stand your ground but be polite and things will go easily.

My led headlight has a malfunction, I've only had my car for eight months and I've got two years warranty on it should this be covered for repair

Oh nice easy fix then - could have done quite a bit of damage to the electronics if it had come off completely. Glad to hear its fine now.

not sure that you can but if you can remove the chain cover by removing the studs individually then that would be easier and also as long as the valves have not contacted the pistons then it should be okay

I think possibly the same as when you take the fob apart it is a known fault on some of the fobs for the lock/unlock buttons on the fob (*which can be separate to the boot lock) become detached from the circuit board, (*depending on which fob you have). You can repair the fob with a kit from eBay and as long as you have soldering skills and a steady hand then its a very cheap job to do https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_nkw=2014+nissan+note+fob+repair+kit+microswitches&_sacat=0&_from=R40&_trksid=p2334524.m570.l1313&_odkw=2014+nissan+note+fob+repair+kit&_osacat=0

This would be transmission drag generated by the various components in the transfer box being rotated with one or more wheels on the ground. Equally there is transmission wind-up which can be dangerous if undoing wheel nuts and the wheel is free to turn with tremendous force which can break an arm so be careful if the car has been driven around on tarmac and with sharp turning (such as driving onto a driveway).

I would start with any serviceable items that are overdue, oil, filter, air filter, fuel filter, etc then I would also be checking for the condition of rubber vacuum and breather hoses to see if they are split or perished. This can usually be identified by a hissing noise with the engine running at idle. Replace parts if you find any damage to the hoses or gaskets around the intake system (inlet manifold, etc) Alternatively, it may be something as simple as an exhaust leak - place a rag over the rear silencer tailpipe with the engine at idle speed (outside in the fresh air to avoid carbon monoxide poisoning) and if you hear a hissing from the exhaust front section, manifold or oxygen sensor(s) then that is your fault.

Reconditioned transmission would be the best way forwards or if not a secondhand used transmission from a wreckers yard as it may have been replaced before the vehicle was scrapped. Either way, ensure that it is the proper fluid going into the replacement transmission and change regularly (before it is due)

I thought it may be a radar sensor for police speed cameras as they are usually mounted on top of the dashboard

Always make sure the engine is maintained at regular or even before its due to ensure the oil quality remains in good order, especially when it comes to the smaller engines which can generate quite a bit of heat when working hard. Make sure it has the best quality oil you can afford.

Is there any issues I need to be aware of with our new juke ,it’s the 1.0 ‘3 cylinder ,automatic

thats where i would look again, maybe rats had a nibble before, not an easy task

I had rats chew through some wiring earlier in the year, the car wouldn't start, the garage repaired the damage and couldn't find any others that were chewed. The radio going off was happening before that though.

Hi @SteveG Do you have 2wd on this or is it constant 4wd> Also i presume this is an automatic?

Hi Adrian Have you tried looking for universal strips on ebay? if you find the right size I believe the join needs to be at the bottom

HI Kelvin Have you changed the battery on the keyfob recently?
