Well regardless of if Nissan say it should be in gear, which I don't think is in the handbook, if the brake automatically applies when the engine comes to a stop and there is no way to disengage the brake unless you started the engine then I'd say keep fighting with the lease company and Nissan and ...

Well having taken delivery, a major issue for me will be headlights. At the moment when parked in the drive the daylight running LED's appear to be putting out more light than the headlights, albeit no so well directed light. So I'm just wondering if I should go to Halfords and get a decent upgrade,...

Guess what ! My new Gunmetal Grey QQ was delivered on Friday and it has these run marks already.

I doubt there are many truly bad cars out there, regardless of manufacturer. I could relate some true horror stories about BMW's, Mercs and VW cars. As has already been said, when you consider how many QQ are being built then there is little cause for concern.

Regardless of the problems that I've experienced on a Renault in the vehicles later life, I still prefer the electric handbrake system. I've had three Renaults with it now and to be honest I find manual handbrakes somewhat of a chore, plus when I have a loan car with a manual brake I forget to put t...

I have an electric parking brake on my Renault Grand Scenic (They have been using the tech for a long time) and it has been giving me problems in the past few weeks. Nothing is physically wrong, because the entire assembly has been stripped down. However, they can't find a fault and so everything is...
