Trevor

Thank you very much for sharing your experience and useful hints and tips I'm sure it will definitely make it much easier for anyone else attempting this job

First thoughts would have been wheel balance but other static/dynamic imbalances can give these symptoms For the driveshafts, an old trick is to put a jubliee clip (and sometimes a washer or coin underneath the clip if necessary) on the shaft and road test, if necessary, loosen one at a time and rotate slightly to place the weight over a different area to see if this balances the shaft. If it makes no difference then its not the driveshafts I would however take a look at the tyres on the front and rear by jacking up each corner at a time and spinning the wheel to see if the tyre is out of shape or has a bulge in it the tread area.

oh my goodness that is drastic - huge amount of water to dump out from inside the vehicle area I would definitely pursue this as it won't do the car any good over time

Sounds fair enough and possibly a change around on the model spec due to semi-conductor shortages along with other component shortages due to availability of parts following Brexit, Covid, etc

I would have that checked immediately as it is in the region of the brake pipes and hoses which look at first glance to have heavy corrosion on them

You could try it and if the resistance is the same or very similar then it will work

Thanks for sharing the removal procedure and sure it will be handy for any other members looking to remove the instrument panel Be aware that the replacement one may need programming into the vehicle if it has CanBus networking as the instrument panel is the 'Gateway' for the CanBus Other methods would be to get the panel repaired

Maybe worth visiting a local motor factors and see if they recognise it as being used in any other vehicle (e.g. Renault as they make some of the Nissan models and may use some components in the Note)

Fantastic news now you can drive it and enjoy it !

Its not a service light or warning of the glow plugs failing start up check? Does it look like the engine symbol with a flash through it?

Think they only come with the cable but you may be able to shim them out using some compound such as liquid metal which should keep them going for a bit longer

Sounds more like a failing battery to me Have it checked and replaced if necessary Also while your in the battery area check that the terminals are tight and that all earth leads are secure and not broken

Can you describe any symptoms and what does the light look like

Now that could be both suspension or brakes Brakes is more like a clicking noise if the pads are moving in the carrier but if the caliper is loose then this will also make a noise Check the caliper is firmly secured it will flop around and you will hear a clunking noise if not If you place a wheel wrench on the wheel nut and move the car backwards and fowards with it that should narrow down the are of the noise

Not sure where to go from there unless you dig deeper with the immobiliser to find out what is causing the draw (internal circuitry or external connections with a high resistance?)

It is certainly an impressive machine, very nice! Aftermarket is sometimes the best (and cheapest) way to go with an Audio system

I would therefore possibly take it to a transmission specialist who can focus on that system specifically. Worth doing a google search to see who is in your local or wider area

Is there any adjustment that can be made to any sensors that are connected the shift mechanism or directly on the transmission housing ?

I would definitely try a temporary 12 volt feed but be ready to remove it if nothing happens just in case it has a high resistance and causes an electrical fire

Hi Jarek ....welcome to the Club Have to say that i needed to look this model up as never seen one before Very impressive machine and see that many have been modified to look even better Post up some pics of yours if you want to Sorry, not sure on where to get components for the audio to convert to UK but years ago there just used to be an adapter that connected to the aerial and that converted it to UK stations. Not sure if there are any around nowadays as it was some time ago when I last saw or fitted on

Sounds like there could be more wire damage elsewhere, worth checking the other door switch wiring to be on the safe side

If no screws are obvious to see when you are looking at the panel then it would more than likely be held by clips and gently pulling the panel should release it

It would be worth checking the mechanism isn't seized first otherwise replacing a fuse would power up the circuit and either blow the fuse or cause further issues. See if there is any movement on the spindle by trying to gently rotate back and forth

I would look at the earth leads and connections to start with, common fault on Nissan. After that then there may be an issue with the security control module (if under the dash it could have suffered water ingress from the windscreen leaking) - look for tell tale signs of water leaking under the dash area

Does the vehicle run differently (e.g. engine running fault) ?
