Re: Side running boards

May look nice but they are not practical. Many people fit them and remove them soon after. I wouldn’t consider them.

Re: New Member looking for advice please

Electronic Parking Brake will only manually release if you have the foot brake on. The auto hold function sometimes can require a bit more throttle to disengage the epb.

Re: Just ordered a Tekna plus.......

If the road surface is good then so is the ride quality. The 19” rims don’t particularly like any size of pot holes or badly uneven surfaces.

Re: 1.2 DIG-T engine trouble

Worth a read, but if you’re an aircraft mechanic you’ll most likely be aware of most of it, so I’d get the wife to read it instead :|
Hope you get it sorted.

Re: 1.2 DIG-T engine trouble

This won’t help you I’m afraid, but it’s a good question you can ask at your Nissan garage. We know that the QQ doesn’t have an oil level monitor, but it does have an oil pressure sensor and warning light, so just how low does the oil have to go to trigger the oil pressure warning.

Re: 1.2 DIG-T engine trouble

I tend to agree with david sunderland. Oil levels should be checked at least every month. Anything excessive should be noted, topped up and monitored. The onus is on the owner, even if there may be an abnormality with the engine, sorry!

Re: Drivers door internal door locking

No way to ‘auto lock’ and yes it’s only the button for the drivers window that is lit, plus the side mirror button and adjuster. Well, there's a way to autolock.
