  1. I have found this information for the Suzuki Alto (which is virtually the same car) it is tucked up directly above the 'bonnet pull' handle on the off side and the radio fuse is the blue one right in the corner at the front of this fuse-box.
  2. Hi Andrew....welcome to the Forum Good to have you onboard
  3. Has it definitely got a 'Stop / Start' specification battery as these have a deeper cell charge capacity than a standard battery? If so, then I wouldn't worry too much about driving it as is...just won't have the stop/start function which you should be able to switch off anyway
  4. Sorry to hear that .... it does seem that unless there is a trend which is developing over time (e.g. Honda clutches which are as weak as wet cardboard) then it doesn't register as a fault. Rather frustrating on your behalf I would imagine....maybe worth getting it sold whilst it has a new clutch in it?
  5. Glad it worked out okay for you...enjoy!
  6. Helen1976 . How did it go with the engine diagnosis?
  7. How's the X-Trail . bluephenex . ?
  8. good point Steve Williams at least that would give an indication of which system is failing, although if it is system failure then the injectors would not open the same as the spark not occurring but at least you would be nearer knowing that it is still able to combust.
  9. Hi Steve...welcome to the Forums I can't believe there are only 34 left on the roads now....used to see so many around but I suppose they are all in the scrapyard in the skies now :-( Good to hear you're keeping another on the road Be good to see a photo of the Prairie if you wish to post one up? Good to have you onboard Cheers, Trevor
  10. Hi Weeman...welcome to the Forums Good to have you onboard Cheers, Trevor
  11. Hi Ian Sounds like a slipping auxiliary drivebelt causing the noise. If you gently trickle water over the drivebelts and if the noise disappears then hey presto! replace the belt. Sometimes also it can be a dry tensioner bearing that can create the noise...same test applies here as well. Let us know if this works, Cheers, Trevor
  12. generally it is a combination of station preset buttons and thats it....do you have the handbook at all? If not, then maybe a guide on youtube for your car model, year and radio fitted
  13. Have you looked at any speed sensors that may be in the system....crankshaft, camshaft, etc? Usually when they heat up they fail...worth checking if not already done so.
  14. Hi....welcome to the Forum If you have fitted a quality (branded) Stop/Start battery then it shouldn't be a problem there. I would imagine it does need programming back in but maybe worthwhile driving around for a while to let it settle down and relearn. Let us know how you get on with it
  15. You certainly have a passion for all things Nissan by the sound of it .... thanks for sharing the pictures with us
  16. Hi...welcome to the Forums Sounds like a worn CV joint that's clicking. Sorry, not sure about the windscreen seal though
  17. Hi...welcome to the Forum Good to have you onboard and enjoyed watching the videos Cheers, Trevor
  18. That's a bit harsh...can't believe they are so blinkered with this sort of modification. Bear in mind there are many companies that offer this service to cars that tow caravans and need the remap to allow more flexibility on the engine / drivetrain when towing and this is widely accepted by insurance companies and caravan & camping clubs.
  19. Hi....and welcome to the Forum This is the best place to post and hopefully we can help you sort the issues https://www.nissanownersclub.com/forums/forum/44-nissan-almera-tino-club/ Cheers, Trevor
  20. It isn't difficult to remove .... probably takes about 5 minutes. You should inform the insurance company but generally they do not increase the policy costs if it is done for reasons of economy or driveability rather than 'performance' reasons
  21. I am running a tuning box on my Honda CRV and it is superb...had it for over a year now and no problems at all. Here is an article on tuning boxes that I wrote http://www.drivn.co.uk/electronic-engine-tuning-guide/?utm_source=LexusOwnersClubUK&utm_medium=ForumLinks
  22. They usually have rubber padding which compresses and grips....it shouldn't scratch the paintwork in normal operation....just ensure it is tight enough so it doesn't move around
  23. It sounds normal as most modern engines run at a higher rpm which has the effect of reducing emissions...although sometimes the opposite effect on economy
  24. Hi Jouri From memory it may be limited by a centrifugal weight which throws out at a predetermined rotational speed which then shorts out to earth to cut the spark until it drops back again...I'm sure they used this on Toyota around the same time so may be the same for the Nissan. Would be interesting to find out....only way is to strip the distributor down to investigate Cheers Trevor
