Re: Keeping battery charged whilst isolating

Many thanks calnorth. If I disconnect the battery's negative terminal to charge it, once reconnected I'd presumably have to reset the clock, radio settings, saved sat nav settings etc etc?

Re: Keeping battery charged whilst isolating

I tried to start my car yesterday afternoon for the first time in a week. Much clicking, but it wouldn't turn over and I got the Stop/Start fault error message. Suspecting it was the battery, I put it on a trickle charge for a few hours, and then it started first time, as it did again this morning. ...

Many thanks Daewar - I thought it sounded a bit suspect.

Air Con Service

Evening All I got a letter today from my local Nissan garage stating my Qashqai (registered 14.5.16 but with only 50 miles on the clock when I got it on 24.2.17) is now due for its 'air conditioning service'. After several paragraphs explaining how essential this is, and what a wonderful job they'll...

Re: !!!!! Nissan servicing costs rocketing !!!!!

"Does say something when over a 2 year period our 1.2 Dig-T Qashqai costs more to service then the 3.0 M140i.
A major service is a minor + brake fluid, air filter. Brake fluid degrades over time regardless of mileage."

Thanks guys - I guess it'll be a major service then!

Re: !!!!! Nissan servicing costs rocketing !!!!!

Afternoon all. I have a 1.2 DIG-T 115 Tekna first registered on 14.5.16. It then spent several months in a dealer's storage yard until I bought it on 24.2.17, when it had just 50 miles on the clock. It had a Nissan minor service on 25.5.17 (this was part of the sales agreement) by which time it had ...

Help with insurance write-offs

Morning all My son passed his driving test a couple of years ago (he's 25) and his girlfriend (also 25) has just passed hers. Neither has owned a car before, and they want to buy a small, 5 door hatchback (Fiesta, Astra, Polo) etc for about £1500. Neither has much idea what to look for (I've warned ...
