Hi, Nissan Note 2015 petrol. 68k miles, recently serviced. Malfunction light came on today - steady orange. I know it can be a number of different things but, of course, I need my car over the next few days. Not driving far - perhaps 10 miles each day to appointments etc. Car seems to be driving as normal. What do folks think about driving it being OK, & is there anything I can do to try to establish what might be the issue? Thanks.

so, the garage changed the belt, but the noise is still there sometimes. So, i'm back to trying to work out what it might be so I can avoid having something else done that might not need doing. from what I can find online it could either be the suspension or the brake pads. If anyone knows enough about those to suggest ways to tell the difference I'd appreciate it.

Hi again, any rough ideas on how much changing the belt or indeed the bearings should cost from a independent garage? thanks.

thanks - will try that

Hi, 2015 Nissan Note petrol owner. I've noticed a screeching sound when driving, that comes & goes but sometimes, especially on longer drives, can be either constant (at low volume) or last more than a few seconds. I expect this might be the drive belt but I know there are other possibilities & also a range of reasons why the belt might be producing that sound. Does anyone know how to work out what it is before going to the garage? It seems sensible to do that if possible. With technology as it is you'd think by now there would be an online library of sounds to check. thanks,
