Just to add my bit - I have had a 1.6 CVT for well over a year now and have had no problems at all with it. About 12k miles, the majority of driving short urban journeys. No DPF issues at all. Certainly no (huge) lag when you put your foot down and given that I had a BMW300D Touring previously I thi...

Now that I can relate to - greetings from the land where each tree has a name and people do not walk on the grass when told not - you have been trained Herr Dave! We, as you must well remember, don't know the meaning of the word or take kindly to being led down any road, even the right one!

I'm OK with that Richard - sensible! We make decisions from the minute we get in the car to the time we leave - they're only wrong when something (bad) happens.

Qash - I'm happy with the display.

It doesn't come on automatically (the parking brake) simply because that is tradition I guess? Like I say, I've never used the handbrake in any of my cars with auto transmission and I'm fairly sure that is the case for the majority of us. On thinking about it a little, there is an exception and that...

[quote="duncho"]Dave, what if I drop the phone while driving? [/QUOTE]
Your wife will call you back wanting to know what is happening!

[quote="MrQQ"]I have it in P park position, but once pressing stop it still doesn't engage the park brake. I've just looked in the owners manual and it states Xtronic won't put the park brake on, whereas manual cars do[/QUOTE] That's how mine works as well and I assume the way Nissan inten...

I agreed with Hound, I've never used the handbrake on an automatic. That said there are places where it would make sense to use the handbrake and it can be made to engage as you suggest and seem to wish. Just ask at the next service. Probably makes sense in Australia being upside down.PeterL2015-08-...
