Re: 1st Service Late

The best answer will be to ask. Really the dealer should have contacted you about it. If you've ignored said contact it weakens your position. If they haven't you might have a stronger argument of misunderstanding. From my perspective I'd imagine it depends on what the first service involves. If it'...

Re: Tyre information.

It's not exactly the same in my view. XL means you have stiffer sidewalls and can inflate tyres further to allow for heavier loading. 2XL would tend to suggest that they are further re-enforced and potentially have even stiffer side walls. It's probably redundant on the QQ to put that level of tyre ...

Re: Tyre information.

If you are really concerned asda tyres do the one you "have" at £128.50 a corner.
It's only £10 for all four in difference.

Re: Qashqai broken into - SD Card stolen

I haven't a different vehicle now but the dealer recommended that the card be removed whenever the car is going to be left for this exact reason. Can't really see how that would stop someone popping the glass and checking for it though. Don't really understand the need to damage the trim as pressure...

Re: Is my 2015 Qashqai is a Lemon?

HI, how did you convince Nissan to take the car back? In a perfect world I would like them to take mine back and replace it with a new or similar age/mileage model with the same spec. When the car is working I love it. It's the nicest car I've owned when it's all working. The shame is that it's so ...

Re: Is my 2015 Qashqai is a Lemon?

Mine had plenty of issues and it's now gone. Of your specific i only had the two (parking sensors and battery). I think / believe the front power socket is always live by design so i'm not sure that's a fault (or mine was faulty in the same manor). The one in the centre console / armrest turns off a...

Re: Stop/Start system

Found the QQ to be less obvious in regards to when it would stop/start than a couple of other cars i had. It certainly seemed to be very conservative about when it activated but i never really bothered me. It was quite often a blessing it didn't activate so often and i doubt it made a huge differenc...

Re: 1.2 DIG-T - Oil loss

I will mention the oil loss to my dealer when I take in for 2nd service on the 26th of the month to see if they have heard any comments on this. My car will have done 15300 miles by then . Last service a year ago was 8324 according to the log book. I have not put a single drop of oil in the car sin...

Re: FIAMM Battery 6 months old

As per Bob. Common issue. I'm interested in what the RAC have done after condemning the battery. They did the same with mine but after a "jump" i took it straight to the dealer to get sorted. In your case it would appear you haven't / could not do that? The dealer has to do a test on the b...
