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

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

Sounds like you may just have to live with it as there is no actual fault coming up.

no problem...glad you have peace of mind now

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

Hi Andybaz....welcome to the Forum Any questions, just ask away...not sure we'll always have the correct answers though! Good to have you onboard Cheers, Trevor

Plenty of kits available on eBay which should do the job https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2380057.m570.l1313.TR0.TRC0.H0.Xnissan+micra+k12+fog+lights.TRS0&_nkw=nissan+micra+k12+fog+lights&_sacat=0

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.

Hi .... welcome to the Forum Not sure whether the box would actually have the ratios that you would be after as the Quashqai is more of a multi-occupant cruiser in comparison to the Micra which is strictly speaking only designed as a town car. Playing with wheel and tyre sizes can have a marginal effect on economy and performance as another option. Cheers, Trevor

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

Hi Mark...welcome to the Forum Can you say when the noise occurs, e.g. when accelerating or decelerating, turning left or right, in a certain gear? Cheers, Trevor

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

Can't find much either on the web only this one https://www.justanswer.com/uk-nissan/33dj8-set-timing-nissan-qr20de.html Have you established that the chain has slipped ?

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

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?

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

Hi....welcome to the Forum Sounds like it is a fault with the sound unit rather than a wiring issue. Quite possibly could be an instrument cluster issue but be aware of cost as this unit is the gateway for the CanBus and it could be quite expensive and would need to be coded in at a cost also. Let us know how you get on with it Cheers

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

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

Hi...welcome to the Forum I would start with the power and earth connections and know that the unit powers up before connecting to the windows independently. The diagram is quite simple to follow but I would enlist the services of an auto electrician if you do not have the skills or equipment to carry out the job as this could result in damage to the vehicle electrical system. Let us know how you get on with it Cheers Trevor

from memory you pull up the gaiter and you need to use an extension on the ratchet with a 10 mm socket

Hi Andrew....Have answered your question in the introduction post

Hi Andrew....welcome to the Forum It's a common fault on the Diesel engines....and there are several causes I have found out over time. 1. Oxidation Cat blocks up but you can remove it by unbolting the end casing and beating out the monolith...goes a treat after that. 2. Earth straps connecting body to engine, etc tend to break...replace all for around £10 3. Fit an EGR blanking plate (make sure it has a small hole in it) and this works very well. 4. Throttle Potentiometer can be cleaned internally and reset (using voltage readings) 5. Fuel filter housing draws air sometimes and can be replaced with an aftermarket one which works well Usually the turbo is fine as long as there are no air leaks on the hoses leading to and from it but also will perform better when the engine is running better, enough to clear it through. Cheers, Trevor

Hi Jim If it is from the front then I would obviously check all joints and also see if there is any play in the front driveshaft joints (inner and outer) as this could be the cause. If not then it is more than likely from the rear and transmitting the sound through the vehicle. Let us know what you find Cheers, Trevor

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
