Re: Calling all new Qashqai Tekna Plus owners- I need your help!!

I have a 160bhp Tekna+ all wheel drive, CVT automatic transmission. I feel for you but I seem to have avoided most of the common problems. I used to suffer from the stop/start surge (almost certainly curable by a software update) which probably only affects automatic cars. I have a different CarPlay...

Re: Tyre Pressure Sensors

Re: Tyre size advice

You might be wise to look for a similar age n-connecta (maybe ?) but a car with with 18 inch wheels and take a test drive. It's possible that there’s no perceived improvement.

Re: Nissan dashcam fitting J12 model

Confusing information, "check compatibility" link suggests it might be OK - probably safest to give them a call if anyone is thinking about investing.

Re: Dog Protection

Get a cheap ground sheet from a camping shop and (if cheap enough) cut to fit, so that it hangs over the bumper and onto the floor.

Re: FAQ: Diesel engines and DPF

The service company refer to the DPF contaminating the oil, but my research indicates this only occurs if the engine (exhaust) does not reach a temper to burn off the residue, mainly short journeys! Most of my journeys are minimum 30 miles. . w...

Re: Navigation

Sounds like you need to get back to the dealer.
