Hi gloucester, I have only purchased the one set and the problem part was the nipple, for want of a better term at the bottom of the strut, the bolt i took out was 6mm thread, 10 mm spanner size but the part that replaces it was probably 8mm so I could not fit them.
...

I see from the diagram above that there are 2xM6 nipples and 2xM8 ones. Did you not get any M8 ones?

Hi gloucester the set i got only had the larger nipples, so when I removed the bolt the thread size was to big.

Thanks again Dave, gonna order a new set, it seems that none of the suppliers state the thread size of that part.
The rest of the kit would not have been a problem to fit.
Cheers Jim.

It would be useful if you could post the eBay link for the part you bought - so that we can see the problematic one.

Runrabbitrun, I took a look at the Ebay Ad but there is no specific facts on the Screw Thread of the Nipple. The Nissan Vehicles referred to are : For Nissan X-Trail T32 / Rogue 14-18 / Nissan Qashqai J11 14-16 > is this the year covered because ours fitted both J11A (14) & J11B (19) - same Screw Threads !
Perhaps just the wrong part was included in the package or it was all totally wrong - Good Luck for the next one but again definitely well worth fitting - Dave 😉

will that do you

I'd seen that and would have suggested it at that price.

To be honest at £14.99 incl. P+P I'd have just sourced alternative nipples - or at least queried the situation with the seller.

This one should work - check out the additional lower bracket

CORRECTION - hold on - the picture shows a J11B but the description is for a J10...

Gloucester, You found the problem ! These websites are obviously just trying to Sell and to them it is not a problem to state Incorrect Information ! It gets annoying when the parts come from the PRC and need returning though. Sometimes it just makes sense to pay a little more and get the service !

Runrabbitrun, probably a little late but it might be worth looking at the offers on Amazon they are all around €40 from what I have seen, but it might be easier to return if the same problem arises.
I ordered 5 articles on Thursday and 4 have been delivered already inc Auto Stuff in a day - cannot complain at that for Service 😊 - Dave

One of the reasons i ordered the item that i did was because the seller was uk based and the kit arrived in two days even though it was a Chinese seller.
Where as other sellers from China were stating end of August or later, oh well, live and learn.
The only good thing was the return was really easy and was refunded even before they got them back, so not so bad.
Cheers all Jim.
