Hello, I am joining this forum with hopes to be able to supply you guys with some hard to come by parts for your beloved Nissans, as the title states we are the second oldest Nissan dealer in the uk and we are looking to move some of our older parts that have been stored away for years. I will be doing a follow up post with our parts list which should have thousands of items for you guys to sift through at your leisure, I just wanted to test the waters to see how helpful this would be for you guys, any responses or comments appreciated. Kind regards, Oscar

Hi all! Im thinking of getting a Pathfinder in the next month or two. Wanted something bigger for going fishing/camping and always loved the look of the Pathfinder. Especially the older shape (07/08 models). Has anyone got a rot free one with upgraded timing chain they are thinking of parting with? Thanks in advance 🤘🏻🙂 Harry

Hello, I recently imported a rare Nissan Stagea 350S with the 6 x speed manual gearbox only 167 were made by AUTECH , i took it for its first mot today and it failed on both front lower control arm inner bushes would anybody know who can supply me with items or better still a pair of wishbones which makes the job easier for the mechanic. Cheers .. jimcrickuk@aol.com

Thanks Trevor on further investigation we have found similar fault on other Vehicle's and it was found to be Evaporative sensor ( Ambient Thermostat) have one on order but nil stock Australia due in a couple weeks I will post the result

My Adblue light came on just before Christmas, it jumped from 1500 miles to 750 miles to 384 miles within seconds. I filled up but the light remained on and did not reset. I put some specialist cleaner in the Adblue tank to clear any crystallisation that may have taken place. That did not resolve it. It has therefore gone to the garage. They have called advising there is an Adblue update they need to put on the car, I am assuming that relates to the onboard computer. That makes no sense why the other would happen. Anyone had a similar experience. I am waiting for a call back to see if that resolves the issue but it doesn't sound right.

Still got the Juke. 5 weeks in now and coming around to about 1k of driving. Best mpg I have managed is 54, Getting about 40 around the town. Should be getting my car back on the 10th unless they hit another snag.

Yes correct! replaced the battery - all sorted - never seen a car react like that just for low battery - weird!

I have a 2020 Marano with this very same issue. I keep taking it to the dealership telling them about it. They say there is debris in the tracks. We either keep it covered or in the garage. I do not park under trees. I don’t know what kind of debris they are talking about, I have noticed everything under the driver seat is rusted when I pointed that out to the dealership they told me it must’ve been up north for an extended time or near the coast neither of which is the case we have not been out of town to those areas. I put in a complaint with Nissan directly and I got some hateful woman who called me and said I’m denied because my car is out of warranty however I’ve been going with this problem since we bought it. I now realize that they never intend to help us. It’s terrible what it is doing to the inside of my car, I’d like to know what anyone might have done to get Nissan to take notice of this design flaw has anyone found a fix?

hi thanks managed to reset and calibrate

Wonderful son managed to fix this to front xmember and attach wires! Air conditioning working nice and cold

I would like to replace the head unit on my Maxima, in particular to get a functioning integrated satnav. I could do with a recommendation based on experience from a J12 owner. By way of introduction, I am in my seventies and retired as a Postman. First Nissan (Datsun), was a 120Y Coupe (my wife's) on which she traded a 72 Torana. After that, 180B wagon, 200B Wagon, N10 Pulsar (first model 5 speed manual dealer rep {my neighbor} car, Skyline Exec, 260C 280C (one of those was a wagon ?) 2002 Maxima 320k J12 2012 Maxima (written off for me) J12 2012 Maxima replacement. I also had a Bluebird as a company car, part of a small fleet I bought for the company I worked for. Main interest in motoring is BSA/Triumph bikes.

Have a look at the offering from AutoCom as I think this may cover the ABS

Hi Everyone, just bought a 2013 Nissan Serena Hybrid and I was wondering does anyone know where I can get a free user manual download

Hi all Just popped in to say hello from Kingston upon Hull. About to purchase my first Nissan. A 1.0 DIG-T 117 N-Sport 2019. After having issues with Ford. Hopefully, i have chosen wisely.

Hi - Sorry for the delay in update but problem now cured. Took a while but finally back on the road. Had to take it to a main Nissan dealer 20 miles away in the end so as to connect it to their diagnostics system due to other garages near me not having older diagnostic computer kits compatible with my car. Not cheap. £120 later and they said that the Mass Airlow Unit and Knock sensor needed replacing. Their quote was £1671. Staggering. Said parts were the costly items. They said Airflow Unit was £565 plus VAT. No way! Anyway spoke to Paul at local garage and he said that in all his working life (over 20 years) he had only ever replaced one knock sensor in all that time so should ignore that. A search on ebay resulted in me purchasing Airflow Unit for just under £36. Yes only £36. Could have had it shipped from Australia for around £75 all in. Anyway booked car in with Paul who fitted it along with a couple of rubber gaitors for the steering rack. Total cost for his work was £60. Result - success. Car now runs just as it did before problem occurred so very 'happy bunny'.

Hi, same issue I had. Battery is fully charged. All the lights were on but not starting. I found this in another forum I followed the advice and I worked. Hope it’ll help 🙂 Thanks Jackyboy117’s advise : ‘I turned the ignition switch to the second point just before you start the engine, I then got out the car and disconnected the negative lead and replaced straight away. Now the car started to try and start but would only make the noise. I then had to shut all doors and bonnets, turn the engine off, lock the car with the key, open the car with the key, half turn the ignition and leave for 5 mins. Once the 5 mins is up turn off the car and straight away start.’

Newbie here, checking in with a problem, but I'll put that in the right area. I picked up an Orange 2008 Qashqai early December 2023 as an emergency car. It's a 1.5 manual with 164,000 miles on the clock It's got a few problems, but it's getting me around 😁

My nearside wing mirror smashed against a badly parked white van's mirror. The body of the mirror is fine but no glass! Any ideas? Like in Ian's case, one lady owner from new 31st July 1995. EMMA

Hi Trevor it turned out to be the DPF sensor also most importantly the pipe leading to the sensor had split. Replaced the pipe and sensor and zoom the vehicle back to normal

Thanks Trevor for your reply. I have replaced the Earth connections and looked for leaks, but will double check any way. The idle issue is the same even with the pedal position pot disconnected, so I concluded that was not the issue, but will measure the voltage as you suggest.

The colour is not an issue but the type is (all coolants now are of the OATS type)

I swapped the cluster this weekend. Also took the opportunity to replace the crappy OEM-radio with a Bluetooth one. Used a 1-din dashkit for that, looks quite alright actually. Nothing needs to be done to enable the replacement cluster. It’s plug and play. The mileage is stored in the cluster, so make sure you install one with slightly higher mileage than what you have as to not get into any odometer issues during the next MOT. I swapped my faulty 179k cluster with disabled check engine light for a unmolested one with 185k on it. Paid 40 bucks for it at a local junk yard. Those extra 6k in mileage won’t hurt the (non-existent) resale value anyway.

Hi all I own a Note Acenta 1.4, no where near fast but very practical and probably one of the best cars I have ever owned

Nissan note 2008 1.6 Petrol Having listened to my drive belt squealing like a strangled cat thought it best I changed it, car has done 140,000 on what I think was the original belt. First as it’s a 1.6 petrol it only has one belt, cheapest place was Halfords at £17. Next watched videos on how to change it, easy I thought, so set to work. Jacked up and on axle stand removed drivers side wheel then attacked the inner wing lining, lots of popper fittings and screws, lot of poppers broke on removal, made sure I had spares. Now I can see the drive belt, well cracked and shiny, slacked tensioner pulley bolt (13 mm) and removed the belt, easy. Checked out belt against new, all ok but could I get the new belt on, no way. Tried the tensioner pulley adjuster, this was a nightmare to get at as you cannot see it all touchy feelly, anyway the adjuster was rusted and not for moving, only option left was to remove the pulley. Cleaned it up and freed up adjuster, next challenge was to re fit the adjuster, which you have to do blind and you can only use one hand, after a lot of cursing I still couldn’t get the thing into position. Looked how to gain better access, remove the front grill and then get another pair of hands to hold the adjuster in place while I re fitted the pulley, easy. Put the new drive belt on and now with relatively easy access to the adjuster tensioned the belt. No more squealing, job took in total about three hours around two hours longer than needed. So before I do my wife’s car going to ensure the tensioner bolt is lubricated, was the main cause of the delay. Will also just remove the front grill and see if it can be changed without having to remove inner wheel arch liner. Hope my experience saves people time and effort.

hi I a;ready bought 2 adapters - for radio and for TV but where to install them? no idea where tv and radio amplifier are ..8-) atm has changed some things.. on the bonnet is the "proper" emblem - not lying but standing- and I should finish - maybe today adding a SECOND sound system with modern radio and another set of speakers. Because inside is a very complicated Bosse system and no1 in Bristol wanted to work with my Nissan I decided to put inside the second system..So I will have all the modern tools like Bloototh, wi-fi and of course Uk radio with normal frequency. I will post some pictures when I finish it completely and here are the pictures

Hello there im searching for a 1990 sunny coupe gti rear spoiler, hope somewhan can help me find one or hase one for sale.

Thank you. I am going to choose Avon.

Thanks for the warm welcome Trevor. it was indeed as you described, a clip down by the gear selector arm in the engine bay. i found a clip down there obstructing the movement (it fell off the air filter box). i then moved the gear linkage arm around a bit and made sure everything was connected and moving in the right way and it seemed to fix it. silly really, but sometimes, that's just how it goes hahah

Hi all thought I’d drop in before placing my first post in the hope you can help

So, yes, indeed - it was the connecting wire that had popped off. Not really sure about how to fix I pretty much dismantled most of the dash - when in actual fact I now think I only needed to take the glove box and radio surround out. Quite easy really - all the trim pieces clip on so can be pulled out easy enough, then there were 8 ish screws holding the inner glove box in. Once thats out you can get to the back of the heater controls, where I managed to re-locate the loop end of the wire. Took a video of it once it was reconnected - although after this I did manage to bend the wire down a bit it wasn't as close to the top of the peg... I had actually ordered a new control panel from Ebay only £25), thinking something had snapped off inside it. Had I had to fit this the bottom console needs removing to give access to 2 screws holding the heater panel in - thankfully I didn't need to do this. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/254865205686.

Looking for a nissan 100 nx to purchase if anyone on here knows of one. Thanks

hi guys, Collecting a 2005 Nissan Murano Thursday. Ex nissan parts manager, so have always had a soft spot for Nissan, a few models in particular. Hopefully looking forward to getting involved, without having to ask for to much tech advice! My last Nissan was a few years ago, a Juke, and a few years before that a QX A32(i think that was the model?) thanks Tim

Hi Tim....welcome to the Club I really like the Murano, think they should have stuck with that shape for other model designs Feel free to jump in answering any questions (especially about Nissan parts) if you would like to? Good to have you onboard!

I've had a reply from Glyn Hopkin: https://video.citnow.com/vtNMwr0bg1j As I said to the salesman: "And I was supposed to know that because.....?"

Hi Trevor, blasting didn't work so took it to the local Nissan Dealership. They identified a problem with the Ad-blue system and replaced the tank and pump on warranty. Did a great job. 👍

Hi Trevor, thanks for this. Ended up buying the car yesterday, 2.0L Qashqai+2 Acenta. Drives real smooth, lovely and quiet, decent power, overall, very happy with it. One thing my wife has ordered is a new gear know as the other has worn - are these easy to replace? Gear knobs of old simply screwed off, but this has the lift handle for reverse, and I'm wondering how much trouble this may cause?

I would recommend getting something like a silicon hose which would be stronger and cheap to buy by the length Try Demon Tweeks as they have a good range of hoses

Hi Jon....welcome to the Club Good to have you onboard!

Hi Luke.....welcome to the Club I would say you are correct that it is the antenna and as far as I am aware it would not need coding to the vehicle as it does not generate or hold the immobilise code (the ECU would have that information) it simply amplifies the signal from the immobiliser chip in the key fob

Thanks, very nice being here 👍

Thinking of selling my 1996 Nissan QX 3ltr SEL. Any idea as to what price I should ask? Thanks Mike

After several years of absence it feels good to be back behind the wheel of a Nissan automobile. Thanks alot for the acceptance into the club and I look forward to many great memories !

My engine management light kept coming on and my garage could not determine the cause but I was told it was related to electrics and performance issues but when put on the diagnosis machine it was giving a different reason each time. My wife saw a reference to these problems on Facebook and the reason given was the new E10 petrol. I asked my garage to drain my tank of the E10 and put E5 in instead and this was over 2 weeks ago and my car has been running fine since the change and I wanted to pass this on to anyone having the same problems I was having to see if this would help.

I have been told that the new models have a 1.3 as opposed to ours being 1.2 - apparently it makes quite a difference.

Not sure on the differences without doing a side by side comparison and also taking it for an extended test drive and seeing how they compare. If you are looking to trade before Christmas means the trader would probably be keen to make the sale so a good deal could possibly be had at this time of year.

Thanks i did not think it would . he says he a has changed a few with no probs

I bought a a 2006 serena and i download Google translator and now i have my mobile Bluetooth connection and my dvd work i cant seam to find a disk for the sat nav to work but just rest my mobile over the screen a@d use Google maps. love the vehicle. going touring round isle of man next year and Britain i live in hull uk

Would definitely advise using a battery conditioner (available from Halfords, etc) as this will keep the battery topped up...especially important during colder weather. Otherwise it should be okay if left in a garage for this amount of time

Great I’ll take a look

Hi, not had chance to really look yet, what with work and crappy weather, will post when I do, thanks m8
