Re: QQ J10 Warped rotors/discs - a waranty result

The front and rear discs corrode because they are made of crap steel. I've just had my 3 year service and was told that all 4 discs are pitted(@ 30,000 miles) but don't require changing yet.

Re: Buying Used 1.2 Petrol or 1.6 Diesel Xtronic?

If they are ordering a timing chain kit, that suggests the fault is the well known one that requires engine replacement. A new timing chain will hide the fault for a bit but it would come back. Not necessarily, the new kit could include modifications to rectify the issue that caused the initial pro...

Re: Electric cars/ batteries

I love being a dinosaur , no noise, vibration, smells make for a very dull drive/ride the world got dull without two stroke bikes, going to be a sad day for me when there are no more internal combustion engines.

Re: WLTP Test Procedure

This is correct. I've just ordered a new Mazda CX3 and delivery is November as a factory order. Mazda have no UK stock as they've been running it down in preparation for the new emissions requirements. All current manufacturer/dealer stock will have to be pre-registerd before the start of September ...

Re: Rear axle replacement

The service you get depends very much on the dealer you use but Nissan don't seem to do anything about the bad ones.
