Thanks Trevor

Thanks Trevor, what is the advice on replacing these then to prevent failure? also if this is a design fault, was there a recall?

Thanks Trevor (any relation to the Trevor over on the FOC?!) I have heard some bad things though about the Qash... 1) "its basically a renault underneath"? followed by "so electrics can be really bad later" - is there any accuracy to this? 2) "Timing Belt failure due to fuel pump" - something about poor design means the timing belt rubs up against the fuel pump, causing it to snap without warning?

Hi Guys, So, where I am considering a QQ+2, I am looking also at what tools I can use with the car to get the best out of it. Currently I own a ford, and there are two tools (windows based primarily giving the most flexibility) which are phenomenal in their achievements: 1) FORSCAN Buying a £15 off the shelf ELM Cable (better modified for high and medium speed CAN bus) allows me to run a thorough diagnostic across all modules on the car, everything from restraints system, brakes system, instrument panel and the general diagnostics of the overall cars health. 2) ELMCONFIG Using the same cable/s I can open ELMConfig, and I can tweak the car settings, to enable functionality, such as adding cruise control (when the hardware is upgraded in the car) or tweaking the time for "home safe lights" all the way through to enabling or disabling all manner of functionality available on higher specification cars, which may not be available per standard from the factory on that model. For all intents and purposes, these tools prevent the need to go spend money at dealers, allowing self diagnosis and tweaking of software to get the absolute best out of the car! Do Nissan owners have such tools?

HI Guys, I am currently looking around for a new car, has to be 7 seater and I found the QQ+2 and I almost fell in love with it! That said, I look at the car and see how much it has depreciated... The cars I see can have no more than 40k on the clock, could be as "young" as 4 years old, for a "top of the range" including cruise, tinted windows and panoramic roof. What I dont understand, is why? why is such an clearly good car, going for so little money? what must be wrong with the QQ, for the car to be sold for the small amount? Can you help? should I be buying into the QQ(+2) club?
