Restoration

I just hope this is of interest and not boring ! I saw an article on Car Restorations on TV here and I could not believe that this particular BMT Restorations Setup was in the Philippines – Dave :) The Shop is set up on an old US Military Base in the Clark Freeport Zone (No Duty / No Tax) in the Pam...

Re: Buy Spare wheel or stick with repair kit

Here are all the facts on the Spare Wheel Kit and it does not include a TPMS Valve. It needs checking but I believe this Kit is classed as an "Emergency Kit" and does not need a TPMS Valve as it is basically a "Get you Home Kit" and should not be continuously used. The comments o...

Re: Scary !!

Bugman, that is real bad luck with such a young QQ. Tangling with a 40 Tonne is never very good. Hopefully the QQ can be re-built as good as new - Best of Luck Dave ;)

Re: Servicing

Starseven, firstly welcome ! What you do not mention is whether presumably the QQ is a J10 (Old) or the J11 (New). Obviously if it is the newer version I would recommend that you stick with a Nissan Dealer due to the Guarantee & the Stamp in the Service Book. It would most probably be advisable ...

Re: Strange Sound When turn

Beetroot42, please try to get into the habit of using the "Search" facility and then ask the question. The reason being that this subject has already been covered I would say very extensively on several long Posts. If you take a look at the attached just as an example this is what we had d...

Re: footrest cover

Beetroot42, you should search the websites for these if you want reasonable price ones, eBay, Amazon, AliExpress for example. We have on our LH 2014 QQ from new the Nissan Sports Pedals & Foot Rest Kit which although I thought were expensive have done the job well - take a look around but be car...

Re: Faults or Not

Lanstorm, when I looked into this new Fluid before I bought our QQ in 2014 there was and still are questions being raised in Germany (Mercedes for example) on the safety of this R1234yf due to being explosive and a fire risk. The cost you paid appears to stack up with what was discussed on the Post,...

Re: Toxic Particles inside Cars (Pollen Filters)

Gel, correct about the Filters the one I have mentioned from Nissan is the Carbon version hence the price. It supposedly has 3 layers with an active Carbon layer between two layers of non woven fibers which should stop odorous and noxious gases - Dave ;)

Toxic Particles inside Cars (Pollen Filters)

Just thought this was another interesting article that is raising concern and should be brought to light, something I have never really concerned myself with except changing of the Filter. I hope it is of interest - Dave ;) At present the daily problems are with emissions from Diesel Cars, now anoth...
