I would think that the meter you are using is defective because as far as I am aware there are no 12 volt vehicles that will run at 8.0 volts (except for classic cars running on a dynamo and contact breaker ignition). If they recommend the battery is defective (as in the surface voltage reading or deep discharge is low) then maybe so, but I would check with another meter first.

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.

I've fitted something similar before but it wouldn't have been on a Nissan...easy enough to fit I would assume as long as all nuts, bolts, etc come off easily.

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...welcome to the Forum I would advise cutting it off and replacing with a secondhand one (if in good condition) as the cost of new (if available) would probably be a false economy. 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

Hi Darren...welcome to the Forum! Unfortunately,we cannot validate cars as this would be something that Nissan or some other official corporation would be able to do. As the car is over 10 years old it does not need any inspections or other checks as long as you have the MOT and Export Docs that show the age of the vehicle that should be sufficient proof. Let us know what else you find out about validating the car. Regards Trevor

I have found faulty tyres before to cause this....jack each corner up in turn, spin the wheel and see if it is distorted when it rotates...tyres get damaged as Merzed62 has found but also they can 'out of round' if the case distorts (poor quality tyre).

They say you need them, it's just as well to fit some just in case!

Could be Crankshaft Sensor...if no pulse is generated then no injectors or spark. Sensor may be part of the distributor (if fitted)

Could you possibly try reverting to a USB2.0 stick to see if this resolves the issue?

Hi AMGeorge....welcome to the Forum Ask away! feel free to ask anything, we'll see what we can do to provide an answer Regards Trevor - Admin

Apparently it is held on by two clips to the front and five more metal clips towards the back and comes away in two halves

Hi...and welcome to the Forum! Not removed one personally but would imagine it's a case of removing the instrument cover and then unscrewing the panel. Great idea of using the foam tape. Let us know how you get on with it Cheers, Trevor - Admin

HI...and welcome to the forum! In the case of the service parts, they will be readily available from most suppliers...would probably stick to reputable make like BluePrint though. For the fuel tank straps...I would go into the dealer and obtain the part number and ask them to cross-reference or do a search yourself online for that number as it may fit many others. http://www.nissanownersclub.com/parts-categories/Navara-/-Frontier Let us know how you get on with your search Regards Trevor - Admin

HI Jo...welcome to the club! Probably the best bet is to contact the main dealer, who will normally give you the code for free Let us know how you get on with it Regards Trevor - Admin
