Re: FIRMWARE VERSION

Thanks duncho Unfortunately the problem didn't start until the car was out of warranty. Warranty ceased on 31/12/17. Problem started around early June. Are you suggesting that my hardware has developed a problem that other units have not? If D554 is the latest software version, I think they definite...

Re: FIRMWARE VERSION

Hi Thought I should share my Connect problem. After 3 years of trouble free operation, the Connect unit on my late 2014 Qashqai N-Tek+ started dropping the audio for almost exactly 30 seconds at random intervals. Intervals varying from less than a minute to more than an hour. Every 5th or 6th drop o...

Re: folding mirrors

I guess this is a deliberate feature. If you retract the mirrors in order to park in a very narrow space, perhaps with the passenger side against a garage wall, you wouldn't want them to open up automatically when you switched on would you?

Re: Air Conditioning not very cold

Back in May I posted that my 64 plate Qashqai's a/c wasn't working. The dealer couldn't look at it until today and would charge me £149 to regas if they couldn't find a leak. The good news is that they found a leaking condenser (we seem to have heard that before) and it will be fixed under warranty....

Re: Air Conditioning not very cold

I'm keen to keep on good terms with my dealer - still have a 'free' service to be provided, so will take it to them to get this sorted. However, I'll make it clear when I take it in that I'm aware of the continuing problems and expect them to find the fault and fix it - at their expense. Once it is ...

Re: Another Recall

Bracket for front RH brake hose fitted this week under the recall scheme. Took about 15 minutes. Wouldn't have known anything had been done when I collected the car from the same space I left it except that the drivers's seat had been adjusted to fit a midget!

Re: Buy Spare wheel or stick with repair kit

When I bought my Qashqai, I bought an emergency spare wheel kit from the Nissan dealer - only to be upset when I realised how much cheaper I could have got it online. I then realised that the emergency spare wheel could only be used for a short distance, at no more than 50mph, and could not be used ...

Re: Air Conditioning not very cold

Looks like I'm joining the legion of Qashqai owners with air-con problems. Vehicle is 29 months old so still under warranty. My air-con now only works when the outside temperature is below about 20C. I'm guessing it is short of gas. Dealer can't look at it for a month. When they do, they want me to ...
