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

Hi .... welcome to the Club I wonder if the battery condition coding went according to plan as this seems the most obvious cause considering you had just recently replaced the battery. I would be tempted to take it back to the first garage who coded it and see if they could just determine the state of charge registered in the ECM. Otherwise, if it is correct then you should be able to initiate the stop/start as per the owners manual instructions

I use iCarSoft which is just fine for Nissan and most other makes They do a deal on 10 makes to download (your choice) .... very cheap for a tool of this quality https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/333720099709?chn=ps&mkevt=1&mkcid=28

Hi...welcome to the Club Yes this is quite common for a 3 cylinder engine and so many different makes of car now use a similar engine and they all sound the same 🙂

There are usually two Lambda sensors located in the primary section of the exhaust system (one before the cat and one after it)

The hose is air conditioning drain hose and emits water from the interior of the vehicle. I would have the service items checked (e.g. oil, spark plugs, air filter, etc) at your local garage

It would be worth checking the tyres have deflection, if you raise each corner of the vehicle in turn and rotate by hand to see if the tyres have a bulge or are out of shape. Chinese tyres are prone to distorting on the tread. Also check the tread is not feathered on these tyres

It could be that the rubbers have gone soft in the engine mountings. Reference parts availability it may be best to search eBay as should be plenty on there

5000 miles for an oil change on a diesel engine is about right. The DPF should be given a long run to clear it through otherwise the oil can degrade with the DPF being blocked so worth getting it changed as soon as possible

That is a drain hole for the air conditioning system and dumps the water through to the ground

I would start with the grease, clean it from the reluctor ring and go from there
