Possible Fuel Leak Advice
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

shudder
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

Vibration
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

Dpf failure
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

Petrol leak Qashqai +2
That is a drain hole for the air conditioning system and dumps the water through to the ground

ABS sensor light on
I would start with the grease, clean it from the reluctor ring and go from there

Hi Revs
Hi....welcome to the Club It is normal for the revs to rise to a certain level after start up and drop within a short time once the Lambda sensor goes closed loop. However, it should only really rise to approx 1200rpm maximum. You can calibration settings for the throttle housing via a scan tool quite easily and this should return it to normal rpm Also, worth checking for any vacuum leaks in and around the intake system....split hoses, etc

Nissan Micra cutting out whilst driving.
Hi....welcome to the Club Two things come to mind... 1. Crankshaft Sensor which looks for rotation of the crankshaft which will signal the Engine Management System (EMS) and give the command to fuel and spark dependent on engine speed. If this is faulty (usually when hot and the resistance changes) then this can cut the engine and start when cooled down. 2. Throttle Body adaptation which is adjustable using a scan tool. A lot of times this comes down to carbon build up and benefits from cleaning which gives a constant smooth idle speed A scan of the EMS should give stored fault codes which lead to a more precise diagnosis Let us know how you get on with it all

Nissan Juke 2015 Radio cutting out and Touchscreen not working
Hi....welcome to the Club I do wonder if it is worth resetting the vehicle audio and phone settings for the sync to the car and start a new set up to see if this changes anything Otherwise, I wouldn't know where to start with resolving these issues

Clunking noise
How have you got on with it, did you find any wear on the components?
-
Back brake pads and calipers
I would definitely take the car to another garage because it is unlikely that it would require new pads and calipers if they have already been replaced (supposedly). More than likely if he did replace the calipers and pads then the carriers may not have been coated with copper grease in the correct places and leads to pads slightly catching in the guides and causing the occasional squealing noise.

Nissan 370z
I don't imagine it will....if its kept in good condition and the miles kept low
-
Clunking noise
It could be a broken spring or link on the rear suspension so would check these first
-
oil fill
Hi....welcome to the Club Some do have combined, but can you upload a photo of it and we can see the markings to determine correct level

Rear anti roll bar 1990 sunny saloon
Hi....welcome to the Club I can only think that the scrapyards may be the best option, especially if you have one to take along to match up with other Nissan models which may be similar

Need to reinstall the DPF after removed due to car remapped
Hi....welcome to the Club That does seem extreme to remove the DPF and as long as you have the parts to refit then the ECU should be able to read it once more. I would contact the tuning company to discuss reflashing the ECU with the original ECU map

Overheating warning light
Sorry to hear that outcome. The radiator may bring the temperature down but if the gasket has gone then it would definitely need to be replaced. Maybe best to look around at other garages for the best price and also if there is any opportunity to find a radiator in stock.

Xtrail sat nav upgrade
As far as I know it is a simple plug and play but you would need the security code for the new system
-
Powersteering
It is possible electro-hydraulic and if there is a reservoir present then it may be in the area at the bottom of the steering column where is meets with the steering rack
