HELP (power loss) HELP
Definitely do a fuel filter change and see how it goes then.....keep us updated
-
Gear stick
Definitely sounds like movement in the transmission so there should be a brace type mount to limit the movement between the body and the gearbox

Windscreen Washer not working.
Can you not run some fuse wire down the jets to see if they are blocked as may be the pump at fault

Upgrade from Connect 2 to 3?
Not entirely sure if it will work without coding into the car's network The alternative is to fit an aftermarket head unit (Halfords sell a good range) which may be cheaper and run the latest software and apps to connect to the phone, etc

2005 Pathfinder help needed. Dash lights galore
A very long shot but if the 4WD but I had similar error on my L200 and it was broken and perished small bore rubber hoses running to the axles and transfer box....replaced them and error disappeared
-
Any advice please?
Threaten an ombudsman to the RAC directly and see what they come up with They may have an independent assessor go to the garage which they should do if the garage is an approved repairer

The colour is not an issue but the type is (all coolants now are of the OATS type)

Extra DRL’s
Try disconnecting the lamps and then reconnecting as it may be the CanBus not recognising the extra load you have introduced into the system

2005 Pathfinder help needed. Dash lights galore
Sorry if its blatantly obvious but it seems that you are driving it in 4wd on the tarmac? This is why the wheels are skidding, thumping and lower power as you are driving all the wheels at the same time and this is detrimental on tarmac only to be done on soft ground or loose surfaces Also the transmission is 'winding up' which is causing the issues with the ABS and speed sensors Try running it in 2wd all of the time and you shouldn't have any issues Good also to put in 4WD when on the appropriate surfaces every so often to keep everything in the 4WD system working free

2012 4x4 2.5 Navara noise at 2000 RPM passenger side
The first fault sounds like it could be the driveshaft or the joint(s) that is excessively worn or even damaged I would have that checked for play as it that lets go then it could be a problem and may take out other components if it lets go the second fault sounds like its one that the handbook may carry the answer, sorry

Annoying speed camera warning
I think you can switch off this setting as it can be annoying especially if the disc is not updated
-
Any advice please?
I think I would get onto the RAC and insist they oversee this situation. I cannot see how an ECU has anything to do with a lack of compression and should be a straightforward job Keep us updated on how it goes

Droning noise
The wheel bearing should fit into the hub assembly and the flange goes into the middle of the wheel bearing If the flange is worn (as in wear tracks on the outer surface then this has been known to cause slack between the bearing even when torqued down. The metal is a lot softer than the wheel bearing casing which is hardened steel so can wear prematurely - had it happen on my X-Trail and bought a secondhand hub assembly and new bearing to sort it

Battery change... fans work but won't rotate to window etc
Maybe worth disconnecting the battery and leaving for about half hour then reconnect. Sometimes the electrical system can fall over itself and needs a reboot Start there and then try the controls once more

You can pop to Halfords and get some universal coolant (pre-mixed to the correct quantity) and top up the tank However, there should be a min-max markings on the tank and should be topped to just below max when the engine is cold

SA Pathfinder > Converting lights to European Spec
You could always use a red bulb (you can get paint for bulbs) and this can be wired up in one of the reverse lights

Drain Issues? Sunroof drain plugs design flaw
Definitely the best way forward is to use a smoke generator (you can get them from eBay for less than £100) and drop the lamp, introduce the smoke and you'll know exactly where the leak is coming in from

No goodwill for known engine fault Nissan Pulsar 1.2
I would go to an ombudsman / citizens advice as you say there is a known fault with the engine and should last longer than it has Possibly the best way forward is sourcing a rebuilt /reconditioned engine fitted by an independent garage as it would be far cheaper

nissan micra 2017
Brake servo works by introducing vacuum to one side of the diaphragm and the other side is ambient air. As you press the brake pedal the balance is changed by introducing air to aid braking assistance Quite possibly you have a blockage on the pedal side of the servo (the part that introduces ambient air and therefore the servo is running on pure vacuum with the pedal pressure which could blow the servo (diaphragm)? Check the filter where the pedal attaches to the servo via a rod and also check the vacuum hose from the inlet manifold (particularly the union which detaches from the servo)

Droning noise
I would have said wheel bearing but if it has been replaced then obviously not Did the hub flange look worn? as had to replace a hub along with a new bearing after replacing it previously as horribly worn and still creating a noise

Nv300 fault code P1028
If its the pump unit then it will require specialist investigation at the dealership or specialist garage Is there a warranty still on the vehicle?

Nissan Note 2011
If you can source the parts from a manual locking car (if available) then yes it can be done
