Hi Jack.....welcome to the Club I would start with looking at replacing the drivebelts with genuine Nissan belts as there are so many belts in the market that don't have the friction (even when tightened fully) and give noises like this on overrun.

HI Not at all sure of the value with a vehicle like this.....to be fair I cannot even remember seeing a Sunny van in the flesh. Ebay with a very high reserve price or starting bid and see what interest and offers come in may be the best way forward in this instance and then at least you can gauge a rough value. The alternative is to place it with an auction house to value and sell

HI Bob...welcome to the Club Sometimes, its just easier to take the simple route, such as using your phone and online maps....cheaper and easier to update Something to look forward to with touring around the IOM....sounds interesting especially if you have an interest in motorcycle racing

Hi....welcome to the Club You should have a switch on the drivers door to lock/unlock the doors. Alternatively, there should be a procedure to set this auto-lock

Did you find the issue? Could be a vacuum leak on a hose on the intake manifold side of the engine. Check all rubber hoses to see if they are perished or split

It shouldn't affect the other systems as long as the wiring to them is not compromised or modified

Hi Paul First thought...wrong fuel or contaminated fuel? After concluding this is not the case then I would look at ignition related components along with possibly changing the fuel filter if not been done for a while

Quite a bit of work involved but may be better and cheaper to buy a TomTom as the maps outdate quite a bit on the Nissan OE setup

Did you ever find the problem with the engine.....?

It might be worth getting the system back-flushed as this tends to remove any build up in the matrix which can affect the heating system

Would definitely advise using a battery conditioner (available from Halfords, etc) as this will keep the battery topped up...especially important during colder weather. Otherwise it should be okay if left in a garage for this amount of time

Hi NIck....welcome to the Club Maybe worth seeing if the corrosion is only skin deep and can be treated or whether it is a trip to the local welders. Definitely an MOT failure if a certain distance within an engine mount

Possible software update required?....dealer only possibly

The reverse light switch should be on either the top or side of the gearbox and will have a two wire lead going to it

Hi .... welcome to the Club Sometimes, the change to EV can be quite dramatic as some drivers may not have even driven an automatic transmission before so this can be the first hurdle....not to mention lack of engine noise, etc. Good to have you onboard with your Qashqai

Good result on the overheating light not coming on and the engine seems to have settled down in that respect. The heater matrix will more than likely just be trapped air within the system and it may eventually work its way through with use (set to hot and leave it there). Alternatively, you can bleed the air from the cooling system which will produce a more instant result. If the coolant level drops over time then this is sometimes a good indicator that the air is shifting and then just needs topping up occassionally

No 🙂

Sorry, not seen one like that before

Here is a procedure I found and seem to recall using the same technique before on a T31 You must use ORIGINAL KEY to start procedure 1. Sit in car lock all doors with power “switch lock on driver side door” 2. Using ORIGINAL key insert and remove key till doors UNLOCK within 8 seconds, usually insert and remove six times 3. Turn ORIGINAL key in ignition to ACC position (Do not start engine) 4. Lock all doors with “power door lock switch on Driver side door” 5. Press lock or unlock on NEW key this will match them up, if you have another key press lock or unlock as well, it will be programmed all keys to the same code. To exit program mode, turn the ignition OFF. UNLOCK the door using the driver side switch. Test fobs

Sounds like a wiring issue but worth trying the old bulb with the new ballast as I have previously encountered faulty bulbs from new

Replacement battery seems to be the obvious choice to start with?

eBay is probably the best place (and cheapest) to source replacement parts. Avoid parts that are too cheap (Chinese parts) which are usually substandard and are cheap for a reason

Oh dear! that seems to be a long time with all the issues you have experienced. Hopefully they are closing in on the root cause now and it should be resolved when the parts finally arrive in the UK

I would try eBay or a local scrapyard to source a replacement light unit
