Apologies in advance if this topic has already been discussed.
My J11 comes out of warranty next week so I wanted my Nissan dealership to investigate the minor 'clunk' that I sometimes heard when I got into the car. I have to admit the noise was barely audible and rarely happened so I felt I was being a bit of a hypochondriac. After an exhaustive search ( hats off to my new Nissan garage for persistence) they found the problem - a bearing fault on the suspension strut. According to the garage this is a known fault - you can test it by putting your hand on the strut and have someone turn the steering lock to lock - if there is a minor 'click' or 'notchiness' this might well be the problem. Time to think about extending the warranty I think!
