I would try to stick to the recommended fluid and I would also recommend to change the fluid (and filter) before it is due as you'll find it will make a noticeable difference to the drive but also ensures a longer life for the gearbox.

Hi....welcome to the Forum I would suggest taking a trip to Halfords and seeing their range of replacement audio. If you are not confident to replace it yourself then they can do this for you (at a cost) and also sell simple plug in adapters to avoid getting into wiring up the new one.

Good luck with it and if in doubt 'read the handbook' Essential bedtime reading 🙂

Thanks for sharing the information, always very handy to know the cause of these issues

Hi....welcome to the Forum I have encountered similar issues with the Honda infotainment system but not sure about the Nissan version. I think it may be a case of working through the various steps of the manual to reveal any more info on how it operates Let us know how you get on with it

Hi Dawn. I also fell foul to the same issue recently, albeit I knew I had to dip the clutch pedal but I hadn't pressed it down far enough (only by a fraction) which was enough for it not to start. I then altered the seat setting a little closer and this resolved the issue. It does take a bit of getting used to and also the handbrake can be daunting until familiar with it.

Hi....welcome to the Forum It looks like a multi-purpose tool which was probably a manufacturer 'give away' gift Bottle opener, tin opener, etc

Hi...welcome to the Forum Enjoy the Qashqai when you get it and at least the roads are quite empty so you can give it a good shakedown back home from the dealership. Good to have you onboard

Hi.....welcome to the Forum I am slightly worried that they wish to change the transmission fluid but if its not too costly and it will ensure the transmission is trouble-free for years to come then it may be a viable option. The Brake Fluid and Coolant do need changing every two years regardless of mileage as they deteriorate over time and the Brake Fluid will absorb moisture from the atmosphere. Let us know how it all goes

Hi....welcome to the Forum I don't think there is much else you can do to lower the RPM at 100kph.....you've already gone for higher ratio tyres, so the only other thing is to fit another gear ratio(s).' I'm not sure which box will fit though, so may be a case of living with the higher RPM. Let us know what route you go with it and would love to see some pics of the Laurel

Hi Dawn.....welcome to the Forum Couldn't find a specific link to online service information but think this may be somewhere to start https://www.nissan.co.uk/ownership/you-plus.html

Hi all, I own a T30 X-Trail with the 2.2 DCi engine. Got to say its an improvement over my earlier T30 that I owned which was nothing but trouble. This one after a lot of maintenance is now a dream to own Cheers, Trevor

Hi ....welcome to the forum I would say that most brake pads nowadays (except counterfit ones from China) are of a good quality and most should have a BS mark on the box to signify the quality. Preferable makes are Bendix, Ferodo, Bosch, etc. General rule of thumb is buy the best you can for your budget

So when you are finally released from lockdown and able to drive your car....what music will you play in the car?

One of my most economical cars I have owned was a Peugeot 106 1.1 petrol and it gave me around 45 to the gallon virtually anywhere i went and was also rather nippy which was fine for round town driving and mixing it up occasionally on an extra-urban run. Would definitely consider something like this again in the future as its all about cutting costs nowadays. Good luck with your hunt for a suitable car and keep us updated on how its all going

I would think if the 2005 car has reached that mileage and is still running okay then at that price it is a no brainer really. The DCi engine is reliable enough and I have had good experiences with them over the years as long as they have been maintained properly. If it were my money I would go with the £999 car as its a good punt for a economical runabout

It shouldn't be too much if they can just replace the bushes (probably original Nissan parts though)

I would wait until it actually fails on the MOT test as it may not get any worse and go on for years. I've had cars which have had the same advisories each year and still not fail on it If it does fail then it has become an issue and needs doing regardless

Steve P . is it still running okay and the levels where it should be ?

I would recommend traditional wiper blades over silicon blades as they are quieter and just as efficient as the silicons which become more noisier and less efficient over a short space of time.

It would definitely be a good idea to remove some of the coolant (maybe see if there is a release tap at the bottom of the radiator to let some out). If too much coolant is present then the pressure would increase and blow the expansion bottle pressure cap...tends to leave a mess everywhere....best to drain to the specified level.
