Hi....welcome to the Forum I'm not 100% sure but you may be able modify the braking system to take it out of the equation and replace with copper pipes to bypass it completely and remove it from the vehicle. It would only be used to compensate for weight and add more pressure to the rear brakes to aid braking, which probably not be too noticeable when braking. If it passes the MOT on brake efficiency then it would be suitable for road use.

Hi.....welcome to the Forum I wonder if Nissan sell something to fit....then maybe get the brand and part number to research it elsewhere?

Hi....welcome to the forums It could be some corrosion on the mechanism (like a detent not popping back into place). Maybe worth spraying WD40 or similar into the mirror assembly to free everything up

Try Adrian Flux and they even offer a discount through being in the owners club https://www.adrianflux.co.uk/aci-insurance/?utm_source=NissanOwnersClub

Hi .... welcome to the Forum Generally any aftermarket bulbs that state that they provide '25% more light' or similar such as Philips which can be purchased through local Halfords These will put out a brighter light than standard Halogen bulbs

Hi Simon....welcome to the Forum Fine looking machine! You see quite a few on the road but not really looked into them too much, mainly looked at Toyota Alphard and similar Good to have you onboard

Hi Alan Here is a link to one: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NISSAN-LEAF-10-17-A-C-PIPE-PART-NUMBER-92480-3NL0B/382872527501?epid=12024233838&hash=item5924fb228d:g:vpIAAOSwrFlcn0O0

Hi Trevor....welcome to the Forum It could possibly be a vacuum leak as this causes similar symptoms. If you carry out an exhaust gas check (any MOT approved garage should be able to carry out a Pre-MOT gas test) and look for Oxygen (O2) levels above zero which suggest a leak in the intake or exhaust. Also, Hydrocarbons (HC) which should be very low (almost zero) which suggests that there is an ignition problem if high. Let us know how you get on with it. Cheers, Trevor

I think the signal comes through the radio antenna and may need setting up in the system to function correctly. Not sure also if it is a subscription based service

Hi....welcome to the Forum That looks incredibly poor quality looking at the amount of material that is actually retaining the handle to the door plate. I wonder if it is a warranty item as it would affect opening the door which is an MOT item?

Hi....welcome to the Forum The VIN is usually on a plate at the bottom of the windscreen and also on a plate in the engine bay and also the door pillar

I think it is down to maintenance and if the oil has been changed regularly then it stands more of a chance of lasting longer. I have heard of owners who have challenged the manufacturers and got it done under warranty.

Thanks for updating us on your search and sounds like you didn't have a good first experience with a Qashqai with this particular one. Certainly worth trying another one, maybe the 2.0 litre next time?

Nice one! that's an awesome mod and very useful data

Hi.....welcome to the Forum I'm not sure where it is on the net but I have definitely seen a website with templates for vehicle dimensions before....better get 'Google'ing 🙂

It would be great if you could find someone who has done this mod and please post up here if you find anything out as I'm sure others would like to know if it is possible Be in mind this will affect your insurance as the vehicle classification will be for a seven-seater and not eight. This may also affect the Taxation class as well.

Hi....welcome to the Forum I would advise to take it into an independent audio specialist as they may have a work around which will solve the problem.

Hi.....welcome to the Forum What would you like the username to be and I can change it for you?

Hi.....welcome to the Forum May be easier to remove one and take it to a Motor Factors for them to identify it and compare to other bushes and links that may be suitable. Probably used on other models in the range at some point

Timing chains usually give a warning through rattling which then is quite instant to failure. If in doubt, change the chain and tensioners. I'm programming my 2.2 DCi X-Trail engine in the near future as I know it may fail in the future and I would rather sort it before it does go.

Yes usually the linkage will have excess play in it if you move the wiper arm sideways but generally they just fall off and you can get a repair kit for it that works well (around £20) Timing chain issues with some engines, not entirely sure which range though.

hi.....welcome to the Forum If no parts are available then sometimes you can have a new cable made by a specialist company. Alternatively, a secondhand assembly would be the best bet

Hi Dave.....welcome to the Forum The early Qashqai had a few issues, such as wiper arm linkage falling off but was generally not a bad car if maintained properly. The later models have more serious issues with engine failure, etc. Probably wouldn't go beyond 2011 and the 1.6 is quite a good engine overall. May stick to manual transmission if it were me, but not saying the autobox isn't any good but more expensive to replace than a manual. I think you would be advised to trawl this forum and also Google to see what else crops up and also which models are out there with the extras that you want. Let us know how you get on with finding the 'right one'

Hi....welcome to the Forum I would be tempted to pay a visit to Halfords and see which units take your fancy. They usually have plenty to choose from and also sell the adapter plugs and fascia plates

Hi....welcome to the Forum I would be tempted to run an external earth wire to the lamp unit / bulb holder to see if that improves the illumination brightness
