Hi, I would say Halfords but probably not on your model, I guess any decent independent mechanic should be able to change it. Not only is it the one lamp at the moment but they usually follow in pairs. I can recommend a mobile mechanic, Sam Mee who is top-drawer and would be able to do that job (assuming it doesn't need to be from underneath on a vehicle lift to access the bulb). Let me know if you want his number and I can PM it to you. Being based in Bournemouth myself I know many garages and some/most I would not advise going to but there are also a lot of very good garages and mechanics out there who are respectful of customers and their cars. (I know because I taught many of them over the years). Give me some garage names (best PM them to me) and can advise on their reputation as best I can. Cheers, Trevor

I would recommend taking the car to an car audio specialist I believe there are still some left in most towns. They may be able to guide you to a reset or firmware update - alternatively they may offer to sell you a new multimedia replacement which would be so much better than the original one

how low was the warning down to? maybe less than a certain amount (e.g. zero or very low timeframe) and it won't reset unless through a scanner.

Not sure to be honest but found this AI summary which could shine some light on your issue TSR Audible Warning Details: Speed Limit Change: A single chime sounds when the system detects a new speed limit sign. Overspeed Warning: If the vehicle exceeds the detected speed limit, the display flashes and a chime sounds four times. Customization: Within the [Driver Assistance] > [Traffic Sign Assist] menu, drivers can set the system to: [Warning]: Both visual speed limit display and audible overspeed chimes are active. [Info only]: Only the visual display is active; audible alerts for speed changes are disabled. Temporary Suspension: The chime can be temporarily muted by slowing down or using the steering wheel scroll dial.

I would be tempted to drive it more to allow the battery to charge and to activate the brakes on loose surface to invoke the ABS. Erase the fault code memory and rescan it to see if the fault returns

Hi the oil change duration button doesn’t work anymore on my 2010 note. Is it possible to reset another way?

welcome back john!

Hi @Johnj good to see you back 🙂

Hi nice to be back

Got an issue with abs. Got a fault code c1140 actuator relay. Do I need to change the abs pump. Only came on after battery was left to go flat. Will not clear

Hi guys I recently bought a 2023 Qashqai Acenta Premium, and have a query re the alert system. Essentially, when Traffic Sign Recognition (TSR) identifies a speed limit, and I exceed this limit, all that happens is my speed flashes on the dashboard by way of a warning - but I get no audible "warning chime" - like I've expereienced in other Qashqais. I've had a look at the options in the Driver Assistance menu - and the only options I see for TSR are "On" or "Off" - no "info only" or "warning", like I've seen is the case for other models. If the only option is on/off, I'd have though an audible chime would be the default - but I can't see where else this could be muted in the system. Has anyone else experienced this? Thanks!

Deutsch: Hallo, wie ich sehe habt ihr das selbe Problem wie ich, an meinem Quashkai j11 mit 1.33 Liter Benziner. Ich habe auch ein gerichtliches Gutachten, auf deutsch. Leider hat der Gutachter nicht genau sagen können, mit was der Schaden angefangen hat. Das Thermostat und das Gehäuse, die Kopfdichtung und der Flüssigkeitsströmungsbegrenzer sind defekt . Die Wasserpumpe war in Ordnung. Während der Fahrt, kam bei mir auch kein Warnsymbol am Display. Erst später, als ich schon mit dem Auto am Straßenrand stand. Der Motor hat sich fest gefressen und das Kühlwasser ist sofort entwichen. Erfahren habe ich auch, dass der Quashkai J11 keinen Sensor besitzt, der erkennen kann, wie viel Kühlmittelwasser noch während der Fart vorhanden ist. Dies hat der Gutachter schriftlich bewiesen. Und meine Abgassensoren, die normaler weiße auch eine Meldung zeigen sollten, haben beide eine Funktionsstörung gehabt, laut Lesegerät vom Gutachter. Also höchstwahrscheinlich sind die Kabeln wie bei einem anderen Nutzer weggeschmolzen. Habt ihr bereits welche Resultate erziehlen können? Habt ihr auch irgend etwas schriftliches, wie ein Gutachten ? Damit ich es dem Gericht vorweisen kann? Ich habe nämlich noch Garantie und Gewährleistung auf dieses Auto. English:Hello, I see you have the same problem as me with my Quashkai j11 with a 1.33-liter gasoline engine. I also have a court report in German. Unfortunately, the expert was unable to say exactly what caused the damage. The thermostat and housing, the head gasket, and the fluid flow restrictor are defective. The water pump was fine. While driving, no warning symbol appeared on the display. Only later, when I was already standing on the side of the road with the car. The engine seized up and the coolant immediately leaked out. I also learned that the Quashkai J11 does not have a sensor that can detect how much coolant is still available while driving. The expert proved this in writing. And my exhaust sensors, which should normally also display a message, both had a malfunction, according to the expert's reading device. So most likely, the cables melted away, as was the case with another user. Have you already achieved any results? Do you also have anything in writing, such as an expert opinion? So that I can present it to the court? I still have a warranty and guarantee on this car. Translated with DeepL.com (free version)

Thank you so much for responding with the solution - I'm sure many members will benefit from your time in diagnosing and cost (albeit a cheap component) rather than replacing everything in a process of elimination.

Replaced the drivers main switch with a £14 Amazon special with lights and everything works perfectly. Rear windows now work as intended. Rear passenger window is a little slow so will replace the motor next month. https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B09CG5RS6Z?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title This is the unit i used. Green lights are pretty bright. Might look at changing out the passenger switch and see if there's a DIY thread somewhere with changing the dash lights to green also.

Can't say that I have noticed exhaust pipes being this colour except for when engine oil has been sprayed over the exhaust and stained it

pipe from catalytic converter is black is this normal?

The oil level sensor should be on the sump and as long as you have topped it up on a level surface then it should give a true reading - it may be worth checking the connection to the sensor and ensure not contaminated with water, corrosion, mud, etc

Not sure as the car is quite new so unless something has damaged the reservoir bottle or a hose has come detached ?

Hi all! I have a 1.5 DCI K9K QQ J10. On Saturday she gave me an "oil level low" in the morning. A few hours later when I started her, she then presented me with "oil sensor error visit dealer". After this journey, I topped up the oil (it was low) but the error hasnt cleared. What can I do? Failing this, where is the oil level sensor? Can anyone provide me with a diagram so I can DIY it?

Why all water leaks from quashqai 2024 windshield bottle when fill?

Thanks for the update chris!!

UPDATE So it appears we may have FINALLY sorted this issue. It seems it was the suspension top mount. There was play in the mount as they showed me after they replaced it. So far so good, no noise. I will update further if it come back.

Yeah Trevor I generally get 3 months warranty out but with this being a newish car they gave 2 years for the price of 1
