The Qashqais have only got the fuel flap protecting access to the fuel inlet. Is it possible to fit a locking fuel cap inside the body flap? If so anyone know of where to get one. please.

Nissan are looking into my new car that was not giving the advertised range of 759 miles on delivery as they said it should (only giving 660 a 100 mile discrepancy. Car delivered with full fuel tank and only delivery mileage of 10 miles). second tank fill still only 660 range. Awaiting their investigation!

Hi all, Got a 2014 d40, eml came on for egr so has been replaced. However eml came on again after clearing faults with PO409? What could be the fault? Wiring or something more sinister

Bonjour, Je rencontre un problème avec mon Nissan X-Trail 1.6 de 2014. Depuis un certain temps, la voiture présente des à-coups et des hésitations notables et ne semble fonctionner correctement qu'en 7e vitesse. De plus, quelle que soit la durée du trajet (même les trajets très courts d'environ 2 minutes), le ventilateur du radiateur s'enclenche immédiatement et continue parfois à fonctionner sans s'arrêter, ce qui finit par vider la batterie. Quelqu'un a-t-il rencontré des problèmes similaires ou pourrait-il suggérer des causes possibles (moteur, transmission, système de refroidissement, électricité) ? Merci d'avance pour toute contribution.

Hallo den habe ich erfolgreich eingebaut: L7808 Spannungsregler 8V DC gruss Michael

Ok. I did buy some oil recently im just waiting on the filter and sump bolt to arrive from euro car parts. Ill try not to drive it as much until it arrives. thanks Also are these known issues with these cars? I dont really know much about them because I wasn't so interested in them at first.

Manufacturers were all found guilty of doctoring the figures by any means necessary - so they really are just guidelines. Your driving style, routes, terrain will all play a part in the overall fuel consumption....even air conditioning and having a roof box will play a part in the outcome

I would check the coolant pressure cap as my first point of call - replace if necessary as its quite cheap and take 30 seconds to do (only release the cap when the engine has cooled down)

I would advise changing the engine oil and filter as soon as possible. Having looked up your cars registration on Eurocarparts, it is listed as having a timing chain Try to locate a quality oil filter and get the best oil you can for the money - Castrol, etc

20250925_103247.mp4 Hello! I have recently bought a k12 micra for my first car. There are a few issues with it obviously being a 16 year old car but one sticks out more than the others. When I specifically start the car from cold there is a rattling noise coming from the drivers side of the engine. I was going to carry out an oil service myself because I dont know when it was last done and the oil doesn't look great. I mean that its mostly black but there is still a bit of a goldy brown colour. I understand cars make noises but its just been really playing on my mind because i could not afford to do a timing chain or a new engine if something were to go wrong. The reg number is Bv58 dkd if you need engine sizes/ codes etc Thanks! Johnny (I would have sent a longer video however there is a lomit of roughly 6mb)

Just bought the new 2025 e-power Qashqai with an advertised range of 759 miles. It was given a full tank of petrol by the dealership with delivery mileage of 10 miles and the range was only 660. (The salesperson said he was surprised when he filled up and noticed the range was only 660). It was explained that the car was to learn the drivers habits and range would be noted accordingly. Surely it should have given, as new - undriven, the advertised range of 759 and then yes as it adjusted to driving habits the range would alter. I changed from a 2024 e-power Qashqai and with our driving habits managed to achieve, or thereabouts, this models range of 550 miles which it was started with. Both of the models being the N-Connecta.

Guys can you help love my pathy , got an issue. Thing over heats had head gasket done but points to possible cracked head is this fixable , or is it something else I’ve got a intercooler fitted ??? also back end classic has hole in it where is the best place or reliable mechanic who can work on this in the northants area help me

So, a little update on ours! We've managed to get a warranty replacement agreed via Ancaster and Nissan UK. We had to prove service history and it's going to take 6-8 weeks because there's a part out of stock (they've already had it 6 weeks). It took some arguing but definitely worth pursuing, especially if you've maintained your vehicle.

Thanks. No instruction hadn't changed anything. Just did reset when it stopped working.

Have any of the settings changed (e.g. bluetooth to your phone, etc)? I would try pressing a few buttons to find mute, volume, etc If it powers up then it won't be a fuse thats blown

Sounds like you have sorted it then - well done! You have done all the checks in the correct way and come to the right conclusion Only other thing maybe to recode the throttle body which was a thing on the slightly older Micra but may still apply A good scan tool should have this function on it

You could try using different protocol settings on the scanners (if available) to read the codes

You may be able to get the spheres re-gassed.....you could do on the Citroen and Hydrolastic spheres many years ago - look up Sphere repairs or regas

Hi Stuart....welcome to the club I would say just have the vehicle checked over at a garage and if it is in need of a service to then have this carried out before venturing abroad. Also check your tyres for wear or damage and make sure all your lights are in working order. You may need to get vehicle passes such as Vignettes but otherwise, convert your headlamps so that the beam is deflected to the other side (can get a kit from Halfords for that). Good luck and enjoy your trip

Sorry that no one responded to your post. One of the reasons on the old Micra 4 cylinder engine for poor idle was carbon build up in the throttle body. When it is cleaned out and refitted, you would then have to perform a reset on it through a diagnostic scan tool which should sort it

When I had this i thought it was a phone or car setting. Can't really remember but I did get it to stop by altering which ever setting it was.

Well after the influx of msg on here 😒 I bit the bullet and bought 3 new coil packs. Turns out the readings I gave above are correct and I didn’t need the 150 quids worth of coil packs.

The truck has been sold.

Kind of resolved this now a bit. It still has a slightly rough idle in my opinion but it is a 3 cylinder so could just be the nature of the car?? any way I metered out the coil packs all seem to be the same and as I don’t know what they are supposed to be I’m going with they are ok? I also unplugged them one by one and the engine started to misfire as expected. I removed the throttle Body and gave it a good clean. It wasn’t too bad but there was a little bit of oil in there. I also unplugged the fuel solenoid purge valve and let it run for a second or so and plugged it back in. I also found that both battery terminals were very loose! So they got tightened up as well. Since doing this it seems to idle better. The only time the revs seem to hunt is when the ac is on now and the highest it goes is up to about a 1000 when the clutch kicks in which I’d kind of expect as there is extra load on the engine.

hi all does anybody know how to check fault codes on a 2017 nissan micra K13 x 1.2 litre petrol i have 2 scanners ( cheapies ) which reads my kia fine but this nissan cant connect to ECU
