allegedly there was a faulty batch of the Fiamms (or perhaps several); mine is still going strong, 4 years on.

Gel, be afraid, be very afraid, there's still time!! :roll:

Maybe all the duff ones that have been removed have been put back in the 2018 models!! :twisted:

I have a diesel, and indeed have a black cover. I am quite surprised to see that the petrol models are missing this finishing touch! Also are Nissan still using the dreaded FIAMM batteries? The battery in your photo Pap looks exactly the same as the one I had to have replaced as the dreaded FIAMM battery!

Yes it's a FIAMM!

I too had one replaced on my 1st QQ. Got 2 years out of it until it failed.

If Fiamm haven't identified and rectified the problem in 4 years then they've running an incredibly poor business!
