2004 Xtrail handbrake
Hi Jamie.....welcome to the Forum If the shoes and mechanism looks fine then you can adjust them to the drum (inside of the disc) via a small hole on the outer face of the disc. The hole lines up with the ratchet wheel around the 5 o'clock and 7 o'clock position on one side and the other one. Use a flat-blade screwdriver to turn the wheel until the disc locks up, back off slightly and its adjusted. Take up any slack on the handbrake cable and 'voila!'

Start /stop / nightmare
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.

New Qashqai
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

Manual vs Dealership Schedule Help
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

Nissan RD28 Turbo version
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

glad you got there in the end and thanks for sharing the information that could help anyone else in the same situation.

1996 Nissan QX (A32) rear wheel bearings
I think the way I would approach is that the bearing is just that....a bearing. Most bearing companies will treat it as that and measure the internal and external sizes, type of bearing, load and speed rating and then find you a suitable replacement (which may have a higher revolution speed or load rating) but I could almost guarantee that there will be something available, just not listed as a replacement Nissan wheel bearing. Try these guys: http://www.ashleypower.co.uk/

1996 Nissan QX (A32) rear wheel bearings
Hi Mike I have always gone to a bearing specialist supplier when I have encountered an odd one like this. May not be close to you but Ashley Bearings in Poole always come up trumps. Cheers, Trevor

Juke washer jets.
Usually, they are held in place by a spring clip which is part of the jet itself. Try gently moving the jet either backwards or forwards against any spring pressure to release the jet

Location of primary fusebox.
Glad you got it sorted

Location of primary fusebox.
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.

Changing battery??
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

Qashqai - Clutch Failure after 1987 miles !
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?

Just saying hi
Glad it worked out okay for you...enjoy!
