Re: What uo you most dislike about your Qashqai??

@koko I have a J11b 2020 N-Connecta and with the Stop/Start my concern is the repeated load on the battery. My previous 2017 N-Connecta killed the battery after around 15,000 miles and 2 years of use which doesn't seem very good to me. Fortunately failed at home but inconvenient never-the-less. I no...

Re: Emergency braking malfunction

I know this is an old thread but today I experienced my first spurious / false emergency braking that nearly caused the car behind to ram into me ! Strange location as I was just setting off from a set of lights on Sheffields outer ring road. I was at the front of the queue and set off only to have ...

Re: Leaking panoramic roof!

I have had both a J11 and J11b with panoramic roof with no issues. The dealer needs to fix it as obviously was an issue at time of sale.

Re: 1.6 normally aspirated or 1.2 DIG-T engine best?

I totally agree with Mike. I have have had a 1.3DIG-T 140 Manual N-Connecta for the last year or so and am most impressed. Wanted the 160 but couldnt find one locally with the trim level so settled for the 140 after a test drive. Imagine that the 160 is even better. Generally get around 400 miles fr...

Re: Can I turn off stop/start function permanently?

This is a design feature for emissions and so as stated previously, I'd be wary of making any modifications if the car is still under warranty. I also worry about the possible adverse effect on the battery and so have got into the habit of hitting the button to turn it off every time I start up the ...

Re: Help! 140 or 160PS

@dogmum, if you do go for the QQ be aware that the raised boot floor was not standard on the Acenta Premium trim level. When i was looking some examples had it but many did not. I ended up with the next trim up, N-Connecta which does have the raised boot floor as standard and plenty of other toys an...

Re: Help! 140 or 160PS

I purchased an early 2020 1.3 140PS a year ago on retirement and find it plenty quick enough both around town and on the motorway. It is also pretty fuel efficient (though not as good as the Nissan figures) as even just using it locally for journeys of 1 to 20 miles I generally get around 400 miles ...

Re: Rolling forward when reversing

I previously had a J11a which only had "hill start assist". It only engaged when the car detected that the hill/incline was above a certain angle - on the flat it never engaged (and wasn't designed to). I now have a J11b which has "auto-hold". When enabled this engages regardless...

Re: Connect 4 Rebooted

Thanks Pandjh, I understand now 😃. Will have to see how long it takes if a new map version is ever released.

Re: Connect 4 Rebooted

Successfully updated the system software a second time a week or so back, using the home wi-fi connection when prompted that an update was available, so now on software version 821. Took around 10 minutes and then the usual switch off for 20 minutes. No map updates currently available so haven't had...
