Broken rear wiper mechanism

Hi - just in case anyone has made the same mistake and can advise on costs to repair... To transport my sons bike to school we fitted a rear mounted bike rack. In the rain, when reversing the rear wiper switched on and must have got trapped by the bike rack and now no longer works. It can now wipe t...

Re: 1.6 diesel service schedule

Actually, I have to agree with Quacker - blunt as he may have been... RTFM I too have the 1.6L turbo diesel, but it looks like the servicing schedule varies. Here in Oz the schedule is 12 months or 10,000 km (so a mere 6,250 miles or so), so looks like it varies from region to region. ...in which c...

Re: 1.6 diesel service schedule

Thanks to those of you who took the time to respond (with the exception of Quacker of course). Thanks for clearing it up. In terms of 'RTFM', the 'M' was in the glovebox of the car which isn't with me, so rather than waiting until I see the car again in a few days, I thought I would ask fellow forum...

Thanks. Very clever. No need at all for that. I'd love to know what makes you think that is an appropriate response on a forum where people are bound to ask for advice.

1.6 diesel service schedule

I'm coming up to a year, and 10k miles. For some reason I had it in my mind that the first service is at 20k miles or 24 months, whichever came first. However now I'm wondering if I dreamt it. Can anyone clarify?

Re: DPF is the reason I want to sell my car

Had 2 cars with DPF's for a total of 10.5 years. In that time we only did moderate mileages which in many peoples opinion would have led to failure, total for the 2 cars was 78,000 miles. But we never had a single problem.We learned to recognise the signs that a regen was taking place e.g. engine n...

Re: DPF is the reason I want to sell my car

I've 1.5, have lots of short runs + no issues. With current QQ's no need to take for a weekly thrash- search forum on this topic for lots more info. What symptoms have you suffered? Sorry mate - I know you are trying to help out but your advice is wildly inaccurate. People are experiencing huge bil...

Re: Is there a dpf dash warning light?

Yep, it's happened......Nissan say my DPF needs replacement.......£1300! Happy new year to you Nissan!!! Any alternatives folks? I would be asking Nissan if they can prove that the region was working properly. No idea if this is recorded anywhere but it did strike me that if our cars have a fault w...

Re: Is there a dpf dash warning light?

Thats really useful, thanks. I'm doing a 350 mile trip tomorrow, and the same on Sunday, so plenty of opportunity to keep an eye on it. I wish there was a more obvious signal though, seeing as its such a potentially expensive issue.
