Re: Spare wheel bigger than standard wheels

I would say that's a bit over priced, although it is a genuine Nissan item and you do get the full kit and foam inserts. It all depends what you need. I have just spent time researching for my spare and found prices for new from around £120 for just the wheel and tyre to £159 for same with a jack an...

Sound proofing

I found the road noise level on my QQ much higher than my previous Peugeot 3008. Initially the problem was down to over inflated front tyres by an over zealous pre sale technician The noise level is better but is still not good and hopefully new front tyres soon will improve it a bit further. My que...

Re: Always live fuse

Has anyone tried the fuses on the drivers side of the dash. the top two 10 amp appear to be ignition switched which would suit dash cam use. They are also more easily accessible than the ones behind the glove box.

Re: Spare wheel bigger than standard wheels

Hi Mostyn I have a 2018 QQ 1.5 diesel Tekna which have 19 inch wheels. It depends which model you have what wheel size it will be. The range is from 16 to 19 inch After research I am getting a 17 inch spare so it will take the Bose sub woofer easier in the boot. Apparently the 16 inch space saver sp...

Re: Petrol or diesel?

Hi TrevorSussex, I had the same dilemma having researched many models and variations. The government are trying to turn drivers away from diesel engines due to the apparent pollution it creates, but the newer greener diesel engines appear to counter that argument.

Re: Alarm sounds with boot lid open

Thanks calnorth, checked the manual and found the section you mentioned, which hopefully solves my problem. Will check it out in the daylight It does seem a bit of a belt and braces approach to vehicle security. I now know why the hand book that came with the car has been well thumbed through. I thi...
