Re: Time to say goodbye

No car is trouble free these days and you always need a laptop to sort things out. Give it a while with the QQ guys and you'll soon realise that quality in the parts/finish is important and as is build quality particularly when parts fail well before you expect them to. My QQ was great for 3 years a...

Time to say goodbye

Well after nearly 8 years of running a J11 1.5 I've decided its time to change and am trading the QQ in for a Volvo XC40 so will no longer be visiting here. Enjoyed the QQ very much but it hasn't' always been trouble free and expensive at times. One thing I did notice was the huge difference in qual...

Just booked my J11 1.5 in for new cam belt/water pump with a Nissan main dealer. Cost quoted £519 including VAT, parts were £248.

Re: Annoying Software update problem

I would suggest contacting Nissan Customer Services and asking them for their input, diagnosis and recommendations. If there are issues they should know all about them and the fixes available.

Re: Display staying on

I have a 15 plate Tekna, handbrake comes on automatically when you stop the engine. Yes you can do it manually by why would you, possibly only if you stop and leave the engine running. Check whether it does engage automatically. If it doesn't then there could be an issue or a setting? Not sure if th...

Re: Do all NTec+ and Tekna models have panoramic sun roof?

I have a 2015 Tekna and it doesn't have the Panoramic Roof. I believe it became a 'standard' option at some point ie you could order a new car with or without the glass roof. Whether the price was different I do not recall.

Re: Nissan Qashqai battery/alternator issue

The dashboard warnings/messages you are seeing are probably unrelated to the battery. Take a look at this YouTube video

If you are getting the same messages then the solution is explained in the video.

Re: Best tyres for wear ect

OEM tyres on my J11 were Continental, fronts lasted about 15k, rears about 25k. Replaced the fronts with Dunlops, these lasted about 20k and rears with Michelin Pilot Sport 4 which I also replaced the Dunlops on the front with. Very happy with the Michelins - grips great, noise totally acceptable an...

Re: Start Stop starting back up straight away

Happens quite regularly on my J11. When it happens I've assumed that the battery is just on the verge of having the correct level of charge, stop/start says is ok then the electronics decide there is not enough charge. Happens just the same on my wife's Note as well. How old is the battery, getting ...

Re: Breakdowns (Fail-to-Start)

Noddy1875: Thank you, it is going back, every time. I was more curious as to whether I had a common fault.
