I e-mailed you with this info on Jan 23rd but you haven't picked it up...

They claimed to be unable to find a technical bulletin, but that's dealers for you, especially this one.

However a certain learned gentleman from Eastern Europe has e-mailed me with the info I need (there IS in fact a tech bulletin about this problem), so many thanks to him - happy days.
Hello Hound,
Issues just popped up on my 2015 QQ.
Please could I kindly ask for you to send me the technical bulletin as well?

Would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Got booked into Bristol Street Motors Nissan dealer in Derby.
Took it in today to have it looked at.
They said they lubricated the bottom part of the steering column, and it would fix the noise.
I got in the car and turned the steering from lock to lock and the noise had gone.
When I got home I noticed the noise was back!
Took it back to the garage and had the head technician listen to the noise.
He confirmed it's the suspension bush that is dry, and is going to book it in to have the bushes replaced.

While I was there the bracket recall work was done also.
Just had mine in for same problem I got the same fix lubricated the bottom part of steering, yes it was gone but after a few days it is starting to rear its head again.

Does any one have a copy of this bulletin regarding this problem so I can go back armed with both the diagram and the bulletin,it would help prevent doing many repeat until they get it right.

They also fixed a rattle coming from front passenger side but would not say what the cause was just that they have fixed it, and they have

Nissan dealer replaced the front suspension bushing in one of the campaigns, but after a while when noise came back again I permanently fixed this by applying special "wax like" grease which applied in between the damper and the bushing. That solved this creaking like noise for good ;)

When you say between the damper and the bushing do yo mean the strut and the top bush or lower bushes
