Re: DPF failure at 7k in 8 months
Sadly, your mileage and driving pattern does not match the needs of a diesel with DPF. A round trip of just 40 miles every two weeks is not sufficient to keep the DPF clean. You can try adding something like Millers Diesel Power Eco Max with each full tank fill up. This will help but going forward y...

Night driving and other thoughts
We have had our QQ for 18 months and covered just over 18,000 miles. Yesterday we had cause to travel up to North Nottinghamshire from our home in Devon and back, a round trip of 430 miles. We left very early in the morning arriving back home at 11pm. So around 3/4 of the journey was night time driv...

Re: New Vitara with Booster Jet 1.4 Petrol unit
I think I might be tempted to go the other way next time and down size to a Fiat 500 in Lounge trim with all the bells and whistles. Have had small cars in the past and with just the two of us it is doable.

Re: After Market Double DIN Unit - OctaCore Android
I would not use up my data bundle to listen to DAB when I can do it for free via the Connect. This is why I always look for a car fitted with DAB.

Re: Starting in the Cold
I think everyone has covered this already but just to confirm - our 1.5 dCi starts fine. I just press the start button as normal and there is a short delay then the engine fires up first time every time.

Not much use without DAB radio.

Re: Qashqai 1 year on - after first service - Still same pro
This seems to be an all to familiar story these days. Is your dealer part of a large franchise by any chance? I find these big dealerships have neither time or inclination to deliver customer service or try to resolve issues. Our Nissan dealership is a small family run business with three garages an...

Re: Curb damage to Tekna alloy wheels
The good news is that this type of wheel can be repaired if the damage is not to deep. You would need to find a specialist wheel repairer who can deal with Diamond Cut wheels. They skim the wheel down on a specialist machine and then repaint it. I found an excellent company in Exeter which is near t...

Re: Automatic Headlights
You can adjust headlamp sensitivity in the settings menu. Also you can change the lighting mode on Connect in the Connect settings from Auto or by pressing the button on the righthand side of the display screen, but you probably know this anyway.
