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

hi i've got a nissan juke i put the lights on and the light round the heater goes dim is a fuse or something wrong please help it's a nissan juke 2013 plate

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 👍

usually when charging, whether on a charger or from an alternator it will usually sit in the 13v mark. Interesting to that the interior light causes that surge, battery maybe weak for some reason, although 4 years is not that old. But stuff happens. might be worth investing in a scan tool when the car comes out of warranty. As dealers charge so much money for such little work

Thanks for your support, Steve. I tried to replicate your instructions but I could not get the response on my Leaf no matter what buttons I pressed! One thing I did notice was the 12v battery (it's always the 12v battery!) was only reading 12v and any load such as interior light dropped it to less than 12. I have now put the vehicle on charge and notice that this also charges the 12v battery, now reading over 13v. Hoping this might be the answer. But if not the car is in warranty so will take it back to the dealer for them to fix.

please let us know the results and what it was.. may help other leaf owners Cheers

good morning Usually you would need to have a scan tool to scan the faults. There maybe a way to do this manually, but I dont have a leaf to test this on. Sit in the driver seat (car OFF). Press and hold the trip reset button on the dash. While holding it, press the Power button twice (don’t press the brake). Keep holding until the dash flashes and displays “DIAG” or icons. Release the button. Press the trip button again to scroll through system checks. If you only see “---” or no data, you’ll need a scan tool for detailed fault codes. Give that a go. But i am no expert so if you get no joy then have this inspected by a dealer.

My 2021 Leaf Acenta is showing System fault on the screen. Pressing OK removes the message but there is an orange exclamation mark at top of screen. Any ideas as to what would be the fault?

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

I have a 2011 Nissan Pathfinder is there any lower kids for? It

Hi everybody! Nissan Qashqai 2017 1,6 diesel, cvt. About 86000 miles So the car starts and runs fine, but I noticed a slight knocking upon coldstart. Almost as if the engine is having trouble building oil pressure. For about 4-5 seconds. And I have crankcase pressure opening the oil fillercap + some smoke. So a Pcv problem I thought. Changed the pcv and the knocking upon starting might have been slightly less. But still crankcase pressure. If I disconnect the hose on the pcv and blow in it, there are not resistance. And I can’t find any defects on other hoses. I notice a sound from the airfilter box, as if the engine is sucking air from a leak in the box. Dismantled everything but can’t find any leak. Some oil in the hoses and around the filler cap, but nothing alarming. Haven’t done a compression test as it’s not a high mileage car. Full service book. Drives 40 + 40 miles everyday. Can’t upload film as it’s to big.. Anyone who has experienced the same problem.

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.

I would use google lens and translate functions to define which controls do what

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.

I bought an Elgrand converted to a campervan. Very nice job, but all the controls have Japanese text and the handbook I got doesn't help much. Does anyone know anything about the Elgrand? Thanks David

Hi I have a 2017 Nissan Qashqai J11 St auto petrol model. The orange malfunction indicator light has been on for a while now. I have had the vehicle several times to an auto electrician who has reset it and the code was P0303 with the message that the 3rd cylinder is fisfiring. I have also had it to the local Nissan dealer who again reset it with the same error code showing up. It has had a new coil ignition pack put in as well as a standard service with new spark plugs. It has recently started to shudder a bit when driving and the motor has cut out and stopped when I am stationery. It restarts again when I turn it over. I have taken it to another mechanic and they have swapped the 3rd and 4th injectors to see it that would make a difference. The malfunction light has stayed off, however they got me to take the car on a drive at a speed of 100klms to see what happened. In doing this, the light came back on for a few seconds and went off again but the motor cut out again when I stopped at an intersection. They have rescanned it again and it is now showing that the 4th cylinder is fisfiring which indicates that the injector/s need replacing. Just wondering if anyone else has had this situation before and what the outcome was. Thank you. Debbie. Queensland

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.
