Probably best keeping this in the oil loss thread... however I did receive something for my troubles after much pushing quite hard and making a post on the facebook page, but it was only when I traded the heap of junk (AKA Qashqai!) in for a Pulsar 1.6DIG-T.
Your sales contract is with the dealer, so you need to be discussing the situation with them, and not Nissan directly. As the car is under finance, you can also use them (although you will need to push), and if you used your credit card at any point you can also leverage section 75. They have gone beyond what is reasonable for a repair now really. Money Saving Expert recently updated their pages on this so worth a good reading up about it but I warn you now, its going to be a long a bumpy road what ever road you decide to go down.
My route was simply trade in the car and replace it with a new one, however my car was a runner but the shear number of problems with it had me exhausted and frustrated. This was the quickest path for me and I was quite fortunate that I found the Pulsar, in roughly the right spec and it didn't cost me a huge amount more (trade in was £11500, Pulsar was something like £13,600, 9 months old with 500 miles on the clock)
