Hi Steve...welcome to the Forum Hope you enjoy your Qashqai when you get it....what spec and colour have you gone for? Cheers Trevor

Hi....welcome to the Forum Sounds like it could be an earth issue or the wrong indicator bulb fitted which is causing it to backfeed into the sidelight You could prove this by swapping the indicator bulb over to the other side and if the fault appears over there then you have the wrong bulb fitted Let us know how you get on with it Cheers Trevor

Hi Sandy...welcome to the Forum You could try these guys...very good service and quality parts https://www.direct4x4.co.uk/x-trail Cheers Trevor

I would assume the third party warranty should pay up to an amount so I assume you pay up front and claim it back and if the bill is over the amount you pay the extra? If this is the case then you could take it to Nissan but expect to pay some on top to cover the bill. It sounds as though it could be a door lock solenoid being faulty but not to exclude the wiring that runs into the door from the pillar.

I believe it comes off by banging from underneath Could try gripping gearknob tight and banging your hand in an upward motion (keeping face out of the way!) .... works on VW and BMW

The Kia is quite a fine car really...know several people that have had Kia for years and no problems at all. Maybe when Nissan are not selling enough cars will they then rethink their sales techniques. Cheers Trevor

Hi Warlord Did you buy the Juke in the end?

Starting the rebuild process then....Good to see that it's still rebuildable and hopefully not left a bad taste after the accident?

probably a good idea

Hi...and welcome to the Forum My first thoughts are as it seems to be temperature related, is the oil being used in the gearbox is of the wrong grade or at the very least a lighter grade oil could be used to facilitate easier gear shifts. Used to have this years ago with certain boxes and a quick swap out to a lighter weight of oil usually solved it. The synchromesh mechanism requires oil to be present but not too 'thick' as this could have the effect of dragging the baulk rings and making changing more difficult, especially when the oil is cold. Ask them to change the oil to a lighter grade to see if that makes the difference. Let us know how you get on with it all. Cheers Trevor

HI...welcome to the Forum I found with my X-Trail that it was the accelerator pedal connections that were the main cause for the limp home situation. Usually, just fiddle with the wires that connect to the pedal and switch off ignition and switch back on to start engine to see if it has solved it. If so, a more permanent fix is required where the pedal needs to be dialled in with a multi-meter to within a certain voltage range after the sensor has been cleaned up internally. A competent auto electrician could easily carry this work out. The injector pump solenoids mainly affected the earlier engines as far as I could determine. Let us know how you get on with it Cheers Trevor

I cannot see how having it services would affect the bluetooth operation unless the battery was disconnected (say for battery or cambelt replacement). Worth taking it into the dealer to ask them and they may have the answer or even an update they can upload into the audio system.

You could try these guys http://www.latestsatnav.co.uk/nissan-12-c.asp Not sure if its for the system you have fitted?

It may be worth having a look at the wiring within the rubber gaiter that runs from the tailgate to the rear of the vehicle. Quite often the wiring breaks internally within the loom where it is articulating with the tailgate opening and closing constantly.

Hi Nadia I would speak directly to someone at Nissan UK and see if you can't get a replacement as the car seems to be a 'lemon' I'm sure consumer rights probably state that if a car is brand new and fails and is off road for a specific time period then it needs to be sorted (either by replacement for another one or a refund)....I'm no expert on consumer law but I would be pretty hacked off if it was my car. Good luck with this

So sorry to hear about the car...you must be gutted ! Unfortunately, the links to the pictures don't work but it sounds like pretty bad damage. Looking forward to seeing the uploads of the new work you'll be carrying out on it...good luck with that. Cheers, Trevor

Hi, I would scan the electronic system to check what the fault codes are. Could more than likely be the Air Flow Meter or similar, but without checking then it's hard to say Let us know what you find

Hi...and welcome to the forum Sounds like warped brake discs and to be fair this would not have necessarily been picked up on the MOT test (except for a slight wavering on the brake roller tester gauges, but not enough to fail or advise). I don't think the Warranty will cover this as it will be classed as wear and tear. I would take it to a reputable garage for them to check the brake disc run-out with a DTI gauge to confirm this is the case Cheers Trevor

HI Tom I would imagine it would be the same as the front door if it has the same retaining screws but may have linkage attached to it which may hinder removal. If in doubt, best to take the door trim off first. Cheers Trevor

Hi Dave...welcome to the Forum You can fit beam deflectors to any car but it's how you fit them in the right position that's the hard bit. Easiest thing is to follow the manufacturers instructions for application. Regards Trevor

There is a control module for the central door locking/alarm and I know the key fobs break internally as I have rebuilt a few of them. But I've not known of any problems with the electronics control systems, apart from the wiring and connections being quite poor on the nissans. Other areas for concern are the door lock switch/electric window switches are prone to the wiring connectors having poor connection. Lift off the panel on the door arm rest and wriggle the connections/wiring to see if that makes any difference.

Hi Jayne...welcome to the Forum! I can only imagine it to be a build up of air due to blocked pollen filter or similar? Worth checking first as cheap to replace if blocked. Let us know how you get on with it Regards Trevor

Hi Tony...welcome to the Forum! I've had a quick scan for his part and not coming up with anything. May have to bite the bullet and buy from Nissan Let us know how you get on with it. Regards Trevor

Hi..welcome to the Forum! I believe the fault may be the drivers door switch as it is not being recognised in the system. I would open the door, wriggle the wiring loom between the door and the pillar to see if the interior light flickers when it is switched to door mode. If it does, then the wiring is probably broken where it articulates opening and closing. Worth a try! Regards, Trevor

Hi Dan...welcome to the Forum! It sounds like the car went into Limp Home mode (with a warning lamp on possibly) as a result of a fault which cleared allowing it to run properly later. I would ask the mechanic carrying out the work to check the ECU memory for fault codes which will indicate what the fault is. Regards Trevor
