  1. 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
  2. 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.
  3. 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 :-)
  4. 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 !
  5. 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.
  6. 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
  7. 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.
  8. 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
  9. 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
  10. 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!
  11. I would be measuring the glow plugs (old and then compare to new) at least so you could identify which cylinder(s) is at fault.
  12. What fault codes are you getting from the scanner readout?
  13. You could try covering the beam pattern in the correct portion of the headlamp with cardboard (and bluetack) before fitting the stickers. This way you can see if the beam pattern is no longer pointing to the kerb (UK spec lights) and it doesn't necessarily have to deflect it to the other side but just not dazzling the oncoming traffic. This means it may reduce your vision on the kerbside (European spec lights) but at least you are legal.
  14. Hi

    Hi Rhino....welcome to the club Good to have you onboard!
  15. Hi...welcome to the Club sounds simplistic - but can't you change your internet password to a shorter one so that the characters fit?
  16. What is the actual issue with the car? Also, is it engine speed or vehicle speed sensor you are looking at?
  17. I use iCarSoft scanner so not sure about the Topdon but most scan tools are of the same standard and will read and delete fault codes. Beyond that, scanners such as the iCarSoft can also code injectors, reset base values and quite a bit more
  18. The only thing I can think of is when you lock/unlock and hold the button down for a period of time then the windows will lower or raise? Otherwise, not sure what could be causing it to drop the windows
  19. Here is some more information on the fault and a video showing how to fix it (Google AI search of fault code P0002) P0002 is an OBD-II diagnostic trouble code for a fuel volume regulator control circuit range/performance issue, indicating the engine control unit (ECU) has detected a problem with the fuel volume regulator. This can be caused by a faulty fuel pump, regulator, or a problem with wiring, connectors, or a clogged fuel filter. Symptoms often include a illuminated check engine light, poor engine performance, and the vehicle entering "limp mode".
  20. I don't have any faith whatsover with the current clowns in power so I wouldn't do anything hastily such as changing your car as it is always likely to change in the near future
  21. Sounds like the new settings need to be programmed in - e.g. new DPF,etc base readings
  22. The dealership should walk you through the car if you have bought through them. Best to take someone along with you to aid your memory, I know because I get told things and promptly forget them :-)
  23. Its such a scam and see it all the time - easy money for the garages. It is possible to fit replacement rubbers if all they are is perished. As long as they are not perforated and leaking grease or if there is any play in the joints then it is perfectly serviceable. Advise on the MOT sheet but not necessary to replace otherwise. Recently fitted a replacement lower arm on wife's Juke and then replaced it a year later as the first (cheaper one) knocked the joint out in no time - more expensive one, quite a bit heavier duty for the N/S location and almost twice the weight. An easy job to carry out yourself and definitely not £1200 worth of repairs. Kept the old rubbers to use if necessary in the future. :-)
  24. Hi .... welcome to the Club Good to have you onboard
  25. Check maintenance and service history and there would be signs of any abuse with wear and tear in the interior - I always believe it is has been allowed to be grubby inside then they don't tend to look after the vehicle maintenance
