Re: Unable to set cruise control and limiter

With the engine light on, cruise and speed limiter is disabled. You need to sort the engine problem out first with a code reader otherwise it's just guesswork.

Re: Too fast downhill - over breaking

Do you have the speed recognition turned on? My 2014 CVT will engine brake going down hill. You could also set cruise control to the speed limit, that will also use engine braking on down hill sections. CVT, by is nature and build, will allow engine braking but at much lower "gears" and ma...

Re: Air Con Condenser Unit Replacement 2015 Qashqai

That's exactly what I've done, recommended by a fellow Qashqai owner. He's coming to house in two weeks time. Will bring a replacement condenser and will do a pressure test, £300 including re-charge. Fingers 🤞that's the problem? [/quote] Mine was £350 a couple of years ago, but the gas alone was £13...

Re: Air Con Condenser Unit Replacement 2015 Qashqai

Google a specialist air con for your area. The factory fitted condensers are crap. I live in the Bristol area, no help for you :D , and I used a specialist. They are usually very knowledgeable and usually fit a decent condenser

Re: I get 5 loud beeps when locking my 2014 QQ dci tekna auto

If I try to lock the car as soon as the door closes I get the beeps, also when I leave the car other than in park (auto box) I get the beeps. It must be some safety measure in the locking system. as above, leave the car a couple of seconds before locking and all should be fine.

Re: Tyres

Sorry to drag this old thread up, but about to buy 2 tyres for my QQ, but the OP says in the thread Uniroyal Rain Expert 5 but his signature says Uniroyal Rainsport 5. Can you confirm which tyres you have please.

Re: Metal knocking sound on slow speeds J11

Had similar, and replace the drop links. They form part of the anti roll system and tend to rattle as they get older. You need the suspension under compression to feel any play so difficult to check on your own. Fairly cheap item as well, but can be a sod to change as the nuts are near the wheel and...

Re: Amber light on dash

Update, not sure if this has anything to do with the problem, but left the car unlocked last night (accidentally) and the amber light came on this morning. Drove to the supermarket sat in the car while my wife shopped and the light stayed on, drove home and the light is still on.

Re: Injector failures?

I know they are not cheap, but why would the other three injectors last any longer than the one that failed? I seems logical to me to expect others to fail after the first. There are refurbished injectors for sale usually with some guarantee sold in sets of 4 for not mush more than a new single unit.

Re: j10 towing capacity

By the look of the figures 1400kg but get it checked, there are plenty of online towing information sites that will tell you, but make sure you enter your exact details.

This site for example http://www.towingcapacity.co.uk/car-mak ... n-qashqai/
