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

Hi Carl....welcome to the Forum Sounds like the throttle pedal sensor is faulty, quite a common fault You can usually dial it in with a multimeter between certain voltages by turning the sensor to suit the required range

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 the update. Where exactly did you saw the hole? Do you have a photo of the location you could share with us, always useful to know in the future if anyone else encounters the same issue.

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.

I'm not sure there is one as yet. I too have a PDF version of the T30 manual and it very useful to search for certain items and procedures. Usually a scan of eBay produces some results although I couldn't find anything when I searched earlier

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 It doesn't seem like there is any other way to release the door apart from within the door assembly which would involve removing the door card. You may be able to remove it without too much (or any) damage if you take your time with removing it. Let us know how you get on with it all

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

At least the bolts will be nice and free from corrosion 🙂

Hi...welcome to the Forum I agree with the diagnosis of the timing chains and I would also recommend to take it to Nissan to see if there is any recall on this issue. If they say they can repair it for extortionate amounts then I would recommend finding a Nissan specialist or a reputable independent garage who can carry out the task of replacing the timing chain assembly. It is common enough for timing chain replacements on many engines so it shouldn't be too difficult to find someone who can sort it for you, its just then a matter of cost. Let us know how you get on with it all

Hi.....welcome to the Forum The Pathfinder is a very capable vehicle and hopefully you won't have any questions (well at least technical ones in the event of mechanical failure) Good to have you onboard
