4wd / 2wd
Its quite common if the transfer box has not been used in a long time as the linkages and mechanisms get sticky Best bet is to find as many opportunities (not difficult at this time of year) to use it and it will free up eventually

Looking for a Nissan GURU :)
Hi....welcome to the Club There are so many Kei cars around so its hard to determine which one you have seen Try this selection of Google images for the likely culprit https://www.google.com/search?q=nissan+kei+cars&rlz=1C5CHFA_enGB830GB831&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjsmMW-xd38AhXEoFwKHXYgDOkQ_AUoAXoECAEQAw&biw=1422&bih=773&dpr=2

Radio Code
Hi, is it a standard Nissan radio or some other make (e.g. Sony, Panasonic, etc) ?

Dpf
The throttle body assembly may need cleaning, quite easy to remove and clean with Carb Cleaner and reinstall. Alternatively, you can reset the Throttle with a scan tool and also worth checking the throttle pedal connections to ensure they are clean and secure All of the above can affect the idle speed which may be what is occurring.

ABS light not coming on when starting
Unless someone has removed or blanked off the bulb but would require you to remove the instrument panel to check this

Timing Chain
Here is a link to a timing chain kit on eBay which shows the various components required to do the job properly https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/263586990851?fits=Car+Make%3ANissan|Cars+Year%3A2010|Model%3AMurano&hash=item3d5f024b03:g:yogAAOSwSYxjqcBX&amdata=enc%3AAQAHAAAA8F9HLF%2BrLXOsKRREf%2BKitDa4xLeGU5NoND7s8D2LvDNqPTHQDGrlBhpLeWoMDJqKPX5AvtkgmZBd9%2BGhvbt06LiVbX9b46ql7rhKOjveNUI%2Bbr%2BCo6xTJbgoGCrMPWMt74gM3D9xRdWe4mR%2FEhbnK50PO8Tf5SgDnU%2BSHwJrxuaghkeKbfQV8DIpMH8VpFcq0oIkC6XpEwrlwUe1cUuVbje4TUXNdjJG6fYf29GZ6mdYvpdIlapC92xf7VEo6JcE3%2FhCJQ2tl%2F7ZiW3CV4UhWYUYZr1Ba2e8JpPnLM8PfwlrLED0XNBsGQ9OCezlIAOEZg%3D%3D|tkp%3ABFBMzpS8hqth

Reversing Sound
It may be that the previous owner had the function switched off You could ask the dealer to reinstall the function via the scan tool but this would cost Chances are it has LED lighting, if not then I would fit a bulb with a reverse beeper built in https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2499334.m570.l1313&_nkw=reverse+light+bulb+with+beeper&_sacat=131090

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
Thanks for letting us know the outcome, its certainly a strange one

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
