Drivers side electric window illumination

The central locking button on the drivers side door is not illuminated, is this normal or has a bulb/led stopped working. If it has how would I replace it? 2014 Tekna

Re: Air Con Recharge Frequency Question

My aircon stopped working in July on my 2014 Tekna model at 50,000 miles. The condenser was leaking and would require a new one fitted at £526 from Nissan in Swindon. I bought from the Carshop with an extended 3 year warranty and I am very glad to say that they have now refunded me the £526! 8-) . H...

Re: MPG with new 1.5 DCI 115 Engine

I have achieved 60.7mpg over 11,000 miles of motoring since January 2019. In the daytime with higher summer temps 68+mpg is easily achieved but in the winter and especially at night it drops to around 54 mpg (heated seats on, heated windscreen on, lights on etc etc).

Re: Thinking of buying, advice would be appreciated

I purchased a 2014 1.5DCI Tekna in January 2019 from the CAR SHOP in Swindon. It had 40k miles on the clock and now 8 months later its just done 50k miles. I intend to keep it 4 years with an expected 100,000+ miles on the car due to commuting. Cons - I found out that the Condenser for the air Con i...

Re: Air Con Service

My local Garage is not equipped for the new gas for my 2014 model so they pointed me in the direction of a specialist air-con company in Swindon who quoted £200 + VAT for the full air con charge, pressure test and service. By chance I decided to try the local main dealer, Fish Brothers, who came bac...

Re: Turning the lights off when indicating right..

As I appear to be one of the "wrong uns" using the thumb & forefinger method, and making a pigs ear of the whole indicating process, I have therefore decided to use copious amounts of superglue, gaffer tape along with some old cable ties that were lying around to ensure it can never ha...

Re: Engine Note / Exhaust Sounds 'Sporty'?

My 2014 Dci had the same issue and even louder at idle. It was diagnosed as the air filter box shaking itself loose. Some extra wide double sided tape and some steel cable ties sorted the problem however I still have a slight growl when accelerating.# Given that the DCI engine at 50mph is only doing...

Re: Nissan Qashqai J11B - New Facts On Upgrades

Now that the weather is warming up I am getting 70+mpg (best 74.2mpg) on my 2014 DCI manual with 44,000 miles on the clock.

This is from cold I the daytime on my 30 mile commute into work. It is on mainly A roads and the traffic speed is 50-55mph however it is very good in my opinion.
