1.2 DIG-T (66) Auto Possible Turbo Fail

Hi all, not posted or commented here for ages. But thought I'd ask here before getting on to Nissan. Driving on M20 last weekend dashboard lit up like Times Square. Seconds later white/blue smoke billowing from exhaust. NO loss of power at that point so managed to get over to the hard shoulder and s...

Re: Latest connect / infotainment question

This is a sham. Similar to the ongoing debacle about the handsfree controls on the steering wheel that has rumbled on around the world. I am not due an upgrade for about 18 months but I will seriously consider my position in terms of new car when the time comes if Nissan continue with what amounts t...

Re: Latest connect / infotainment question

Test drove one the other day. Showed new console with Android and no SD card required. Reliably informed ALL new models (Oct 18) have new console. However not checked model numbers just replying off the cuff. Just wondering when your QQ was manufactured/registered.

Re: New member

I came out of the store two months ago. Car wouldn't start. RAC called ran computer test on battery as he was confident it was a battery issue. The battery was charging but at a rate that meant it was faulty or basically near dead. The battery I had was a Renault issue. As mine was under warranty I ...

Re: Electric Push

See charging points everywhere these days. Many petrol stations now have one and quite a few car parks now have spaces dedicated for cars that need charging. Holiday Inn and other hotels now have spaces for electric cars to park and charge. When I travel into Central London there are parking spaces ...

Re: Phone can’t dial out from voice button

Just went through this whole thread again. Fathers Day so enjoying the lie in! Realised that I've but used the handsfree to make a call for ages. I 've conditioned myself to make/start calls before I move off or wait for stop at the lights and so on. The handsfree worked initially them stopped once ...

Re: Phone can’t dial out from voice button

I totally agree. Stand your ground. As for Nissan Connect software. I apparently had had mine registered for Mr from the factory. Had to contact CS and wait for them to deregister and then go via You+ to set up the account. Need to connect ie open app ensuring data, Bluetooth are on first; then turn...

Re: Phone can’t dial out from voice button

Have to say that's a very poor show. I've seen Kias, Seats, and others implementing the hands free functionality with nary a problem. Not sure what the deal is with Nissan not doing the same especially when it's one of the selling points. I think the Peugeot 3008 does it well too

Re: Phone can’t dial out from voice button

Bloody frustrating. I'd take it back to the dealer and TELL them to demonstrate on yours or a demo vehicle of the same model exactly how to make it work. If they can't then good old consumer law is on your side. Not fit for purpose. If the specs show that the car has that feature then it should inde...
