Re: Wheel Well Tekna

Hi, nah the wheel is actually the right way up! The sub there is sat within the concave section of the wheel (if it was the other way round it would have been several inches too high) I just think the inner metal part on this particular wheel isn't as flush with the boot floor - or maybe the J11 sub...

Re: Wheel Well Tekna

Well, I fitted the J10 foam spacers, and got a 17" X-Trail Space Saver with the specs 155/80/17R - Wheel fits fine although on mine the sub still sits higher than the edge of the wheel - it also took quite a lot of work to get the screw in there and I had to put a lot of pressure on the sub to ...

Re: Battery Dead

I had this the other day with a second hand QQ I just bought, dealer changed the battery but I also mentioned I suspected it could be the glow plugs. They checked and 4 of them were knackered. Could be other stuff, but worth considering since that sounds exactly like the problem I had.

Re: Drive belt damage/Service on 10yr old 1.6 DCI with low mileage

Yeah I think only one of the smaller Qashqai petrol engines has a belt.. My first RAV4 snapped it's cambelt going 70mph down Leeds ring road in rush hour so I pretty much only ever buy cars with a chain after that! Service history claimed second owner had it changed just before I bought it too.. In ...

Re: Connect 1 V9 or V10

V9 is 2019, V10 is 2019-20. Not sure on the exact differences but you can get the V10 SD cards for like £18 on eBay so might as well just get the most recent!

Re: Drive belt damage/Service on 10yr old 1.6 DCI with low mileage

Drive Belt(s) Nissan Service intervals for the 1.6 petrol engine are per 24k miles and that is "Inspection" only. Ah this isn't petrol, this one is the 1.6 Diesel so service intervals are 12 months/18k miles I believe. But that includes oil and filter change for every minor service, plus ...

Re: Drive belt damage/Service on 10yr old 1.6 DCI with low mileage

Oh I know what it is and that it ages over time, and I could replace it myself relatively easily but as I said it would invalidate my warranty because it needs doing by a VAT registered garage.

I'm asking if that level of wear would concern people as I'm finding conflicting advice online.

Drive belt damage/Service on 10yr old 1.6 DCI with low mileage

Hi, just got myself a 2012 1.6 DCI Tekna model - On the whole it's a really nice car and appears in extremely good nick with only 53k on the clock. Cos I got upsold on a fancy extended warranty (which I might yet cancel) I did a full list of pending service stuff cos you need it to be up-to-date in ...

Re: Wheel Well Tekna

Ah thanks for that - I FINALLY found a single set of J10 spacers for sale online (can't find em anywhere!) and they are indeed significantly different. That said I'm tempted to butcher them anyway to fit more useful tools in there! The car is a BIG improvement over the old Rav4 but the one downside ...

Re: Wheel Well Tekna

Hi, just bought my new (old) Qashqai - it's a 2012 Tekna with the Bose speaker kit. While the car is in amazing condition (53k miles with FSH) there was no foam in the boot and the flimsy boot liner just wobbles on top of the sub. Looking here I should get a 17" X-Trail space saver - but if I b...
