Re: Space saver spare.

I bought my space saver wheel from motorhomes scotland on ebay last year for £129. Don't know if they have any left but it was the genuine article black steel 16 inch wheel with everything included right down to the moulded boot insert and the longer bolt required to fit it . May (or not) have been ...

Re: Juddering and kangarooing in low gears

search this forum under clutch/flywheel or clutch judder and you will find plenty of references to problems with clutch , even, as in my case , with a fairly new qashqai, and especially with the 1.5 diesel .

Re: Nissan Connect without sd card

I think your problem is a lesson to everyone . Only buy a car with the features you really want as it is often impossible to upgrade afterwards.

Re: Clutch/Flywheel Problems

Best of luck if you have to contact Nissan customer services. I tried this rout and found it a complete waste of time. Just confirmed the dealer position. I believe that Nissan are fully aware of a clutch issue with the diesel Qashqai but as diesels are being phased out they simply wont admit it. Th...

Re: Clutch/Flywheel Problems

As far as i am aware the dealer does not currently have to disclose that a car is ex rental unless asked . I did ask the salesman twice about the previous owner and he ducked the question saying that it was a one owner car . He handled the road tax application so i new nothing about the Hertz owners...

Their technician drove the ...

Re: Intelligent Emergency Braking

Yes Daewar i am quite aware that the blind spot monitoring is for traffic approaching from the rear. I probably should have said upcoming instead of oncoming. Problem is, if you are travelling at 50 mph and an upcoming vehicle is travelling much faster, say 90 mph, it will be out and in of the blind...

Re: Intelligent Emergency Braking

I have reluctantly come to the conclusion that most of the so called driving aids on the qashqai are little more than useless,and in some cases dangerous gimmicks. One I particularly dislike ,and have disabled, is the blind spot monitoring.The difference in time between the warning light being off a...
