Key stuck
Battery condition is my first thought, if discharged then this can be the fault Ensure the brake pedal is fully depressed if not then the pedal switch may be faulty. Also applies to automatic transmission selector switch (try running through the gear selection to see if this affects it)

Thermo Plunger Relay error
You are correct with the latter, always worked on every car I have had a DPF issue with

Thermo Plunger Relay error
Not sure the diagnosis is anything more than if it is the DPF then it is best to give the car a good blast to clear it through and at zero cost

Radio Adapter
I think it is a standard Nissan adapter which they sell in Halfords I bought one for my X-Trail from them years ago and worked fine (with the exception that it did not utilise the steering wheel controls)

Lights fade in and out on start up

Nissan qashqai 2008 dci
possibly fusebox in the engine bay?
-
System Failure and associated
Definitely the battery condition and health should be checked first and replaced if necessary
-
Steering wheel control lights flicker
Sounds like debris build up on the rotary coupling (the Airbag slip ring) but would require removal of the steering wheel and airbag to examine or clean
-
Lights fade in and out on start up
It is worth checking the earth cables and there are several that run from the battery to the engine and the underside of the chassis to the gearbox so worth checking and replacing all of them if necessary. Halfords sell a range of battery cables and quite cheap

2017 Nissan Navara EGR valve
I would imagine unless the coolant all dumped at the one time into the engine then it would have gradually been introduced into the combustion which at minimum have created a fine mist which would be burnt in combustion. Has it mixed with the engine oil? Does the engine misfire? Water injection in diesel engines is used efficiently to produce power and lower emissions so the pistons would show as cleaned (almost steam-cleaned) and no further damage Too much water then this can erode the aluminium pistons and even the valves I would ask whether they could use a non-intrusive method of inspection such as a boroscope inspection through the injector or glow plug holes or even through the inlet or exhaust ports (manifolds removed) Alternatively, they could run compression checks on the cylinders to see is there is any loss on one or more cylinders which would indicate damage has occurred

Paint Window Trim Black Instead Of Chrome - NP300
Possibly try a vehicle wrapping company as they would have done work like this to de-chrome cars

Automatic Locking
Some of these functions should be programmable by the dealer The auto-locking is something that may be regional (country) and also a requirement from the insurance companies Not sure about the one touch door locking though

Wing Mirror
May have popped a fuse if the mirror wires are exposed or touching each other or earth

-
low oil pressure
It certainly sounds like the oil is blocking somewhere along the line. Have you changed the oil filter? If not then this is more than likely the cause for the symptoms you are describing
-
starting problem first thing then ok after starting
Is it petrol or diesel?
-
Horn replacement
Should be under the front bumper area and may be accessible if you lie down under the front?
-
Rear Seat
It doesn't sound right and more than likely the seat base has possibly been removed and not refitted correctly. Try pulling it up, examining what the item sticking through it is and see if there is another way to secure it
-
Qashqai wont start but has power
Could be the battery condition/strength or the battery leads loose or broken Also, have you tried another key fob (if you have another one)?
-
Steering angle sensor
It may well be suitable but imagine it would have to be programmed into the vehicle (e.g. steering angle reset)
-
Beeping after locking
Your dealer should be able to programme this feature so it is disabled Some countries do not allow the beeps so it can be done
