I would imagine there should be some fault codes stored either in the engine or transmission ECUs
Worth checking them out to see what comes up and work from there but definitely sounds sensor related
-
Thank you very much for sharing your experience and useful hints and tips
I'm sure it will definitely make it much easier for anyone else attempting this job -
First thoughts would have been wheel balance but other static/dynamic imbalances can give these symptoms
For the driveshafts, an old trick is to put a jubliee clip (and sometimes a washer or coin underneath the clip if necessary) on the shaft and road test, if necessary, loosen one at a time and rotate slightly to place the weight over a different area to see if this balances the shaft. If it makes no difference then its not the driveshafts
I would however take a look at the tyres on the front and rear by jacking up each corner at a time and spinning the wheel to see if the tyre is out of shape or has a bulge in it the tread area.
-
oh my goodness that is drastic - huge amount of water to dump out from inside the vehicle area
I would definitely pursue this as it won't do the car any good over time -
Sounds fair enough and possibly a change around on the model spec due to semi-conductor shortages along with other component shortages due to availability of parts following Brexit, Covid, etc
-
Not sure but it should be in the handbook possibly?
-
I would have that checked immediately as it is in the region of the brake pipes and hoses which look at first glance to have heavy corrosion on them
-
Sounds like a dead-short to earth somewhere in the wiring
Start by checking each indicator bulb for correct type, corrosion in the bulb holder and then work your way towards the stalk -
You could try it and if the resistance is the same or very similar then it will work
-
Thanks for sharing the removal procedure and sure it will be handy for any other members looking to remove the instrument panel
Be aware that the replacement one may need programming into the vehicle if it has CanBus networking as the instrument panel is the 'Gateway' for the CanBus
Other methods would be to get the panel repaired -
Maybe worth visiting a local motor factors and see if they recognise it as being used in any other vehicle (e.g. Renault as they make some of the Nissan models and may use some components in the Note)
-
Fantastic news now you can drive it and enjoy it !
-
Its not a service light or warning of the glow plugs failing start up check?
Does it look like the engine symbol with a flash through it? -
Think they only come with the cable but you may be able to shim them out using some compound such as liquid metal which should keep them going for a bit longer
-
Sounds more like a failing battery to me
Have it checked and replaced if necessaryAlso while your in the battery area check that the terminals are tight and that all earth leads are secure and not broken
-
Can you describe any symptoms and what does the light look like
-
Now that could be both suspension or brakes
Brakes is more like a clicking noise if the pads are moving in the carrier but if the caliper is loose then this will also make a noise
Check the caliper is firmly secured it will flop around and you will hear a clunking noise if notIf you place a wheel wrench on the wheel nut and move the car backwards and fowards with it that should narrow down the are of the noise

Firstly before you go any further, does it rotate and have you tried putting power to it directly to see if it operates
Sorry if you have already done these things but always worth checking -
Not sure where to go from there unless you dig deeper with the immobiliser to find out what is causing the draw (internal circuitry or external connections with a high resistance?)
-
It is certainly an impressive machine, very nice!
Aftermarket is sometimes the best (and cheapest) way to go with an Audio system
-
I would therefore possibly take it to a transmission specialist who can focus on that system specifically.
Worth doing a google search to see who is in your local or wider area -
Halfords always have a good range and decent prices as well
-
Is there any adjustment that can be made to any sensors that are connected the shift mechanism or directly on the transmission housing ?
-
I would definitely try a temporary 12 volt feed but be ready to remove it if nothing happens just in case it has a high resistance and causes an electrical fire

Thanks for the feedback as this may help others to find the issue without dismantling the dashboard
Also handy information that you have on how to remove the dashboard if needed
