Re: name good dealers please

I have had occasion to take my QQ into Westway at Basingstoke a few times and have always found them friendly and efficient.

Re: sat nav

Same for me johnboy. Got my new card from France just after Christmas. Hopelessly out of date, roads that altered nearby 12-18 months ago still shown in their original state. I emailed Nissan to query if I had been sent the latest map. This was their response:- Thank you for contacting Nissan Custom...

Re: Turbo issue

Mine had a whining noise on acceleration pretty much from the time I picked it up new. It never affected performance. I took it back to Westway and they told me it wasn't a problem but to come back if it got worse. I went back a couple of months later and they agreed to replace the noisy turbo. I gu...

Re: Tekna Wheels - "White Worms"

I also have this white worm on a couple of wheels. I haven't spoken to Nissan or the dealer yet as I have alloygators and am wondering if having them would go against any potential claim?
If I were to remove the alloygators would there be any sign of them having been fitted?

Re: Wheel bearings

I have the same model and have done just over 15000 miles. I don't have the noise that you describe but do have a sensation of something rubbing towards the front right. I was thinking maybe it could be the start of a wheel bearing problem. Did you notice similar on your car?

The Gun metal does polish up nicely. I love mine and am sure you'll feel the same about yours.

Re: Well that's not a good start is it

If you told them on ordering that you wanted a 17 plate that is what you should get. I agree with you. Reject or ask for a discount.

Re: Best Diesel Fuel

Interesting thread. With my previous two cars (both diesels), I have mostly used Tesco fuel. With the QQ I have mostly used Shell fuel and every four or five tanks used v power diesel. Did a 650 mile round trip to Newcastle last week and the car performed well. Having read this thread I may do a bit...

Welcome. Hope that your wife is delighted with the surprise and that the QQ gives you as much driving pleasure as mine has given me. The gun metal polishes up a treat. Look forward to seeing some pics. Congrats on the impending arrival (s). :D
