Oh nice easy fix then - could have done quite a bit of damage to the electronics if it had come off completely. Glad to hear its fine now.

not sure that you can but if you can remove the chain cover by removing the studs individually then that would be easier and also as long as the valves have not contacted the pistons then it should be okay

I think possibly the same as when you take the fob apart it is a known fault on some of the fobs for the lock/unlock buttons on the fob (*which can be separate to the boot lock) become detached from the circuit board, (*depending on which fob you have). You can repair the fob with a kit from eBay and as long as you have soldering skills and a steady hand then its a very cheap job to do https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_nkw=2014+nissan+note+fob+repair+kit+microswitches&_sacat=0&_from=R40&_trksid=p2334524.m570.l1313&_odkw=2014+nissan+note+fob+repair+kit&_osacat=0

This would be transmission drag generated by the various components in the transfer box being rotated with one or more wheels on the ground. Equally there is transmission wind-up which can be dangerous if undoing wheel nuts and the wheel is free to turn with tremendous force which can break an arm so be careful if the car has been driven around on tarmac and with sharp turning (such as driving onto a driveway).

I would start with any serviceable items that are overdue, oil, filter, air filter, fuel filter, etc then I would also be checking for the condition of rubber vacuum and breather hoses to see if they are split or perished. This can usually be identified by a hissing noise with the engine running at idle. Replace parts if you find any damage to the hoses or gaskets around the intake system (inlet manifold, etc) Alternatively, it may be something as simple as an exhaust leak - place a rag over the rear silencer tailpipe with the engine at idle speed (outside in the fresh air to avoid carbon monoxide poisoning) and if you hear a hissing from the exhaust front section, manifold or oxygen sensor(s) then that is your fault.

Reconditioned transmission would be the best way forwards or if not a secondhand used transmission from a wreckers yard as it may have been replaced before the vehicle was scrapped. Either way, ensure that it is the proper fluid going into the replacement transmission and change regularly (before it is due)

I thought it may be a radar sensor for police speed cameras as they are usually mounted on top of the dashboard

Always make sure the engine is maintained at regular or even before its due to ensure the oil quality remains in good order, especially when it comes to the smaller engines which can generate quite a bit of heat when working hard. Make sure it has the best quality oil you can afford.

Hi @Riki .... welcome to the club Enjoy your X-Trail when you get it

That sounds like one of the wheel sensors has gone faulty - a scan of the fault codes in the ABS system will more than likely show a code for a wheel sensor

I am guessing it is part of the process for charging the battery but I would double check it with the dealer or Google search the symptoms and see what you can find

Fuel efficiency (of whatever source - petrol, diesel, electric, hydrogen, etc) is quite popular on many forums at the moment. Mainly because of the fact that people bought a vehicle based on the manufacturer's advertised efficiency which has been way short of what is actually achieving in the real world. Have a check on forums such as ToyotaOwnersClub.com and there is a huge discussion which debates the best methods of driving with electric or hybrid vehicles. Good luck and Merry Christmas to you also!

Hi...welcome to the Club

I assume its a manual transmission or automatic? A cold engine can produce these symptoms and wonder if it does it when starting the engine when hot?

The CVT does sound strange when driving compared to a manual transmission. But if you can find another just to test drive and make a comparison to satisfy yourself as to whether it is normal or not.

I would say it is the anti-roll bar drop links that are failing - replaced some a little while ago and they put up a fight so be prepared to spend quite a bit of time grinding them off. Also, check the coil springs are not snapped and that the dampers are not leaking

I always tend to use Castrol Oil Selector as a true guide on the specific oil to use (SAE, etc) - Grade is no so important unless you live in a very cold or hot country. https://www.castrol.com/en_gb/united-kingdom/home/product-finder.html Mostly, oil and filter are most important service items but overlooked items such as gear oils, fuel, pollen and air filters are equally important and you should find the time to get those replaced individually.

Hi @Esteban .... The Juke is one of the best cars built by Nissan (apart from the GTR) and you should have very few problems with it. Have a great Crimbo as well :-)

I know exactly what you mean - not Nissan related but Harley-Davidson instead. Took a Pan America for a test drive and it was doing exactly what you describe....the revs didn't match the gears which didn't match the road speed. It was so confusing to work out what was going on and I usually approximately know what gear I'm in and the road speed just from the engine revs and a quick glance at the gauges. However, I was rolling along at around 30mph and the revs were up and down (albeit a manual gearbox) and gave no indication of what was actually going on - probably my single most negative, but strange sensation from any motorbike I've ever ridden. CVT transmissions can also replicate this phenomena and have to agree it would more than likely be a case of getting used to it over time, just means you can't judge engine revs by ear but by constantly looking at the instruments to gauge what is actually going on. Good luck !

Sorry, just had another look at the symbol and it has the two lines up the side which would suggest that it may be to do with lane guidance. But still worth checking that the rear bumper for sensors (easily identifiable by their circular shape around the size of a 50pence piece. If it is lane guidance then it sounds like the ADAS is playing up and needs resetting.

Hi @Sam Deano64 - Welcome to the club. Any aftermarket dampers such as Koni will improve the handling over the standard equipment. Worth running a search on eBay for reputable brands and relatively easy to fit and you will see an immediate improvement

Hi @Isaac - welcome to the club I would put money on the hybrid system kicking in and out which can cause a slight 'stumble' when it cycles so wouldn't worry about it unless it gets any worse.

I know there are boot organisers on the market that suit most cars but not sure which one would be best to even if they custom make them to suit the vehicle. Worth doing a search on eBay for what is available for the Qashqai

It looks like the rear parking sensors are playing up - maybe covered in mud or something else obstructing them or one of them is faulty. If you put the car in reverse with the ignition on and engine off then go to the back of the car and each sensor should make a very quiet clicking sound if they are working...if not then replace the faulty sensor

Hi @Bebop Cowboy ...welcome to the Club Had a few X-Trails myself and they are superb to drive - never really tried them off-road though. Good to have you onboard!
