Used 370Z buyers guide?
Hi Alex...welcome to the Forum The 370z is a great machine, would love one myself. Quite what they are like to own with maintenance costs and repairs, I'm not sure but hopefully someone on here can assist you further. Good to have you onboard and let us know how it goes with finding one. Cheers, Trevor

Hello
Hi Stan...welcome to the Forum The Frontier is a superb car and I would imagine that the QashQai would be an ideal choice for a family car. Keep us updated with your purchase decision Cheers, Trevor

Hello from newbie with a juke
Sounds like you may just have to live with it as there is no actual fault coming up.

After 2 weeks I need a bonnet!
Hi Nick....welcome to the Forum How unfortunate, I would have denied it and blamed it on the wife, lol Bonnet is easy enough to unbolt and bolt back on but ensure there are two of you to hold it otherwise it may fall back onto the windscreen and damage that as well. Finding one in the right colour does ensure that you don't need to involve paintwork as this costs big money. Good luck and let us know how you get on with it Cheers, Trevor

Code for Connect
Hi....welcome to the Forum Not sure there is a security code for the Connect system. Not many vehicles have this setup nowadays as the security is integrated into the coding of the component to the vehicle.Chhad to disconnect the battery and power down the vehicle, saves any aggro with recoding the various systems afterwards.

Hello from newbie with a juke
I know what you mean about the read outs so thats why I always drive on the odometer where I know that I should get approximately 90 miles to £10 on my Honda CR-V and that is based around 45 miles to the gallon. Once you get used to driving by the miles rather than rely on the gauges then its a far better way of judging the accuracy

New Pulsar
Great to hear that you are happy with it and that the niggling faults aren't major ones. Look forward to reading your update

Hello from newbie with a juke
HI Lisa....welcome to the Forum Your car should hold 46 litres in the tank....that's just over 10 gallons which means at 58mpg that you should be getting a readout of 580 miles range - if my maths are correct :-( https://www.carleasingmadesimple.com/data/nissan/juke/fuel-tank-capacity/ A lot of modern vehicles don't actually achieve the stated mpg that they are advertised as getting so it seems like you are currently getting only 41 to the gallon, which isn't good. Let us know how it all goes Cheers, Trevor

Project Moff - 600BHP R33 GTS-t Skyline
Just read your blog....looks like you had a great time there. One of my favourite tracks but never had the nerve (or the right car) to take around it but love visiting the circuit to watch various race events. Great to see Moff out there after the accident, was she running better than before? any mods to do for the future after shaking her down?

Murano 2009 Hydraulic Lifters
Hi Rod Does sound like a deep rattle...see how the flush works and let us know the result. As for replacement, should be able to do it in situ but may be a bit tight. Again, let us know how it all goes but if it isn't tappet rattle then I wouldn't delay doing the camchain as this is a common failure on some Nissans

WATER AND WADING THE X TRAIL
Hi Graeme.....welcome to the Forum That's very unfortunate, especially as you say it was below the maximum wade height...surely it should be able to handle that type of activity as it is sold as a Utility vehicle? Keep us informed on how you get on with it all Cheers, Trevor

Murano 2009 Hydraulic Lifters
Hi Rod....welcome to the Forum I know what you mean about dealer prices and never buy any parts from them over all the years, especially as you can get parts of equal quality for a fraction of the price. Are you sure it is a hydraulic tappet and not timing chain/belt tensioner or associated components. I would usually just run a flush through the engine to clean out any oilways that may be sludged up and then put a quality oil back in...usually does the job. Let us know what you find Cheers, Trevor

Steel Rim Size
Hi Fred....welcome to the Forum Sorry, can't shed much light on your query but I would certainly entertain aftermarket wheels for winter use, cheaper if damaged and need to be replaced. Good to have you onboard Cheers, Trevor

Nissan Micra navigation and park aid
Hi Alysia....welcome to the Forum Any one of those should work but also try http://www.iceboxauto.com/ as they can supply cameras that work with the system. Cheers, Trevor

Diagnostics
Hi....welcome to the Forum There are plenty of OBDII readers on eBay but very few of them will read Nissan diagnostics beyond a code read unfortunately. I struggled to find one for my XTrail and ended up using my Snap On Scanner on it as it was the only one with enough coverage....maybe worth looking for a secondhand one? Let us know if you do find anything out there Cheers, Trevor

note99
You could run a trickle charger to it while it is still connected

Fuel filter
I'm sure there is another post on this forum regarding a similar fault....worth a search to see if any useful information. Otherwise, there would be some sort of filter in the pickup pump that may block or allow air to enter the system
