Re: Official sun shades
I had a rear shade on my Mercedes some years back, never used it. I can't see the shades being that secure. Good tinted windows work very well on my QQ. https://www.nwgparts.com/products/genuine-nissan-qashqai-rear-door-sun-blinds-ke9664e100?gclid=Cj0KCQiAqbyNBhC2ARIsALDwAsA8bbVD2cqgdb5I7gUIVaVsm0D2...

Re: How to drive downhill?
From reading most of the above, I think it depends on how old we are. I am 70 and was taught totally differently on the use of gears than my children. For example, approaching a junction we were taught to change down through the gears so we were in the rights gear to pull away if the road was clear,...

Re: Distance to empty/Fuel Gauge issue
You distance to refill is calculated on current fuel consumption and amount in the tank. When you pulled into the fuel station, the car was on a journey and your fuel consumption was probably quite good. You stopped the car, filled up and then started and drove off. Your new fuel consumption figures...

Re: How to drive downhill?
I have had CVT gearboxes for years and they are different than standard autos. On my QQ 1.6 cdi when I travel down hill I let the car do its thing and just cover the brake. It seems to use the auto box and engine braking to maintain the speed limit, if you have the speed limit sensor, maybe lets it ...

A Word of Warning
I had a slow puncture in my rear offside tyre so went to the tyre dealers to get it sorted. I found that the tyres were letting air out through the treads :shock: The tyres had a good 4mm tread left on them, but were the original Continental tyres fitted when new in 2014. I have been caravanning for...

Re: Tyre pressure sensor light ON
It may be a battery failure in one of the sensors. I must admit I didn't know they had them, had to google it, but then how else would they work :) apparently the batteries should last about 10 years They could have used kinetic energy. My doorbell button is wireless and batteryless. It works by co...

Re: Spare wheel question
Could always make sure your breakdown cover is in place and that it covers your wheels and tyres. Must be cheaper than getting a spare wheel which may, hopefully, never be used.

Re: Drilled Brake Disc recommendation?
I've always be curious as to why my bikes' brake discs don't go rusty. There must be some residual difference. As I said, early bike discs were just flat stainless steel and were useless in the wet, modern bikes are usually drilled and grooved to help braking. Racing bikes use steel or cast iron di...
