Tyre change made impossible
Gidday Pete, sorry for the delay in reply mate, I only just spotted your email. yes a j11 jack will be supplied with your QQ in oz.What I made my insert from was a sample piece of 45mm 6 ply cover conveyor rubber. I cut is to shape and works a treat. cheersRod

Been looking at Jacks today Lots of them come without a rubber protection bit on the top - however a cut down hockey puck does the trick http://www.amazon.co.uk/Skate-Hut-Ice-H ... 24EA2CCRYV

I just use a trolley jack on the strong part of the lower suspension arm, front and back. Using a trolley jack at this point lifts the wheel directly, not raising the body with the wheel hanging down on the spring. This means that very little lift travel is needed.It isn't practical to carry the trolley jack in the car at all times, so if I had to I would use the emergency assist number and free recovery that comes free for three years with every new UK Qashqai [and almost all new cars in the UK"]]. I am a member of the RAC anyway, which covers a car even if it isn't mine and I'm only a passenger.

Quacker, you have hit the nail on the head here. I was going to mention this earlier but had the Website Problems. I have a Hyd. Jack and the "Emergency Spare Wheel" but I believe I would never change a Wheel unless absolutely necessary. Since 2008 never had a puncture and as you mentioned we also have the Nissan & ADAC Service here so you might as well use them. The Winter & Summer Wheels are stored at the Dealer and cost a‚¬50 twice a year inc. changing the wheels. Now when you hit the Big Numbers you also do not want to be laying on the ground, struggling to get up and end up the next morning with back problems and cannot move - Dave
