Re: Starting problem

Not an expert but worth putting some V Power and then Redex to clean injectors, etc. There are also other addatives you can put in the fuel tank to clean injectors and the carbon build up. Maybe a cheaper solution to rule out it sn't related to dirty injectors or carbon build up.

Re: 1.5 dci, 1.6 dci or 1.6 DIG-T ? Buying a 2nd hand qashqai

Hi Dan, you will often come across the argument around driving style and so on. From my personal experience I have done long runs (Yorkshire to Aberdeen) but despite that I've had ongoing DPF issues. Some will advise on driving style, others will say don't use supermarket fuel, then there is the reg...

Hi, I would highly recommend you stay away from Diesels. Try searching on DPF on this forum then Google and YouTube for blocked DPF. Have you looked at other SUV's?

Re: Download POI

Nothing is free, you get the option to update but you cannot. I spoke with the stealer and they wanted around £150 for new maps so thought sod that and long live Google.

On the POI's I think you can add them but I never tried as Google and other free maps do the job.

Re: Drivers Side Seatbelt Buckle Fault

What's the problem? Is the red button not pushing down? Check nothing has fallen into the buckle. Then try using WD40 or even the lubricant used for sticky locks - check Toolstation for it. It might just be due to dirt it getting sticky. If above fails you will need to have someone open it or replac...

Re: Nissan Connect Reset

It's a unique code. You need to take your V5 and one additional ID (just to be on the safe side) to your nearest Nissan dealer. The dealer will check the V5 and as long as you are the registered keeper they will issue the 4 digit code - it's free. Tip- write this code on the car paperwork / handbook.

Re: DPF monitoring app

Unfortunately there is no app, however, my research tells me that custom PIDs can be added in CarScanner but i'm struggling to find the QQ PID's. If i find a way of reading the DPF data through an APP i will update this post.

Re: EML code P242F - DPF

Hi, I am on this forum as I have experienced the exact same scenario. I have the 1.6 PureDrive on 12 plate. Did the same and got it cleared but it came back within weeks? I had the DPF taken off and cleaned only 10 months ago which was very expensive but seems it get blocked pretty quickly or I got ...
