Hi I would like to email Diana Torres & Nicholas Belaund re an issue but customer services won’t give me the email. I tried the generic firstnamelastname@nissan.co.uk and it bounced back

Hi all. My first post here and I'm asking a question about the ex wife's car that is a micra k14 that was manufactured in 2017. Its only done 28k and has developed a bit of a issue and I hope some of you may have more of an idea about the architecture of these engines. So the story goes a few weeks back she calls me saying the car has broken down after she drove it for 22 miles with a misfire. When I arrived I found that cylinder number three spark plug had completly disintegrated leaving just the porcelain debris under the coil pack and the lower porcelain and the core was missing presumably mashed up and ejected. I removed the cam cover to remove what was left of the plug on the roadside, hoovered out the cylinder to check no debris and fitted a new plug and coil pack. The car started right up but did seem to have a bit of a tick it didn't have before. I rechecked for debris and drove it home. Over the last few weeks the tick has developed into a knock and yesterday started to throw a pre cat lambda fault. Lambda sensor is fine so guessing it's running rich, new plugs look nice and clean with no major evidence of running rich. Did a compression test and one and two are a healthy 215psi but number three is 150psi so well down. So oil or coolant loss and no major crank case pressure so thinking maybe a busted valve from eating the sparkplug. What's everyone's thoughts? TIA Tim

Anyone ... ? wiring diagram telling you what the colours are and where and what they are for ?

Air bag warning light flashing. The fault code is P1611 which is isolator or battery fault. Nothing to do with the air bag. The car starts and runs fine. Any suggestions please.

Have you still got it?

Does anyone know where I would get a repair manual for the 2.5L diesel Pathfinder?

Thank you...just a thought, maybe on my next car.

Hi. This is my first request to anyone that can help me. I have fitted an AZDOME M300 S dashcam to my nearly new Qashqai ePower. I also bought a Hard wire kit to connect it directly into the fuse box. I have run the cables to the fuse box and put the fuses into the adapters on the cables, but I am not sure which fuse sockets to plug them into. One cable goes to a fuse that only has power when the car is on and the other goes to a fuse that has constant power. This second one is so motion can be detected when the car is parked with the ignition off. I also know that the fuse holder on the cable has to go a centain way round in the fuse socket regarding the 'Live' side of the fuse. The fuses are 10amp. There is a third wire which is for an earth. This I have connected to a bolt near the fuse box. Can anyone help me please as my car dealer will not do it as they did not supply the unit. I have a diagram of the fuse box layout, so please let me know which fuse in which row to use for each wire. Many thanks. Baz

Hello, new user, greetings. so both my wing mirrors are having a difficult time pivoting out and in with the motor (or the motor is having a difficult time changing the mirrors from folded to out - and back again - to be exact). I did a quick google....apparently the grease can get cold/hard/sticky, and needs to be cleaned and re-greased (?). I've just phoned the local Nissan, and they'll charge £85 to have a look at it (1 hour minimum quote time). Does anyone have a youtube or a guide for getting into the motor part of the wing mirror? I've just been outside and managed to remove the outer wing mirror case and also some of the underside, but the actual motor pivot looks like it's buried inside some more plastic casing (I'm sure this "isn't deliberate" because Nissan don't want people to be able to do this themselves, and want to give the garage £85.......) thanks in advance

thanks for the feedback and glad it worked out okay

you might be able to find a satnav audio head unit that has the security code and possibly(?) it might work without coding to the vehicle body control unit ?

Maybe the wiring has broken in the rubber gaiter leading to the tailgate pull back the rubber each end and inspect the wiring

Hi....welcome to the Club Glad to hear you stuck with another X-Trail....hopefully in a brighter colour you may be seen next time by other drivers 🙂 Good to have you onboard

So...what was the fix then? 🤔

looks like a specific Nissan plug I believe back then it would have been pre-PBD and not capable of storing/reading fault codes

only one crank sensor, which will either be at the front under timing cover or towards the rear of the crank (gearbox end - but more unlikely nowadays)

I've had the same experience, not quite the same costs though stlll steep enough. I'm not bothering to repair them as they'll only get chewed again. Apparently, it's soy or peanut oil in the insulation that could be attracting the foxes. It's happening a lot to other vehicles from what I've read online. It means that I can't move the gearstick from D to B to generate a bit more mileage. Nissan must know about this though - I wonder if they can be bothered to do anything about it though? A lady up the road has the same van and puts spikes under hers to deter the foxes.

Thank you Trevor, much appreciated, I would consider putting bigger wheels on it, but looking at the lump it so much reminds me of the Terrano 2.7 lump, part of me wants to get hold of one to see id it fits! I have gone down that road years ago when younger, But I also recall those small differences which take a week each to conquer! I'm less patient than I used to be and ache quicker!👍

Thanks - I got a new primer pump and it didn't help at all. I could try a new filter, but I did change that one recently.

Check all earth leads and connections under the bonnet and leading from the battery down to the chassis, engine and transmission

The valve block should transfer over but the ECU will need to be reprogrammed to the vehicle

sounds like you need to remove the seat and rectify the issue and refit it could have been something trapped in between the seat mechanism that caused it to jam

try a new (quality brand) battery and see if that works
