Droning noise
The wheel bearing should fit into the hub assembly and the flange goes into the middle of the wheel bearing If the flange is worn (as in wear tracks on the outer surface then this has been known to cause slack between the bearing even when torqued down. The metal is a lot softer than the wheel bearing casing which is hardened steel so can wear prematurely - had it happen on my X-Trail and bought a secondhand hub assembly and new bearing to sort it

Battery change... fans work but won't rotate to window etc
Maybe worth disconnecting the battery and leaving for about half hour then reconnect. Sometimes the electrical system can fall over itself and needs a reboot Start there and then try the controls once more

coolant nissan note
You can pop to Halfords and get some universal coolant (pre-mixed to the correct quantity) and top up the tank However, there should be a min-max markings on the tank and should be topped to just below max when the engine is cold

SA Pathfinder > Converting lights to European Spec
You could always use a red bulb (you can get paint for bulbs) and this can be wired up in one of the reverse lights

Drain Issues? Sunroof drain plugs design flaw
Definitely the best way forward is to use a smoke generator (you can get them from eBay for less than £100) and drop the lamp, introduce the smoke and you'll know exactly where the leak is coming in from

No goodwill for known engine fault Nissan Pulsar 1.2
I would go to an ombudsman / citizens advice as you say there is a known fault with the engine and should last longer than it has Possibly the best way forward is sourcing a rebuilt /reconditioned engine fitted by an independent garage as it would be far cheaper

nissan micra 2017
Brake servo works by introducing vacuum to one side of the diaphragm and the other side is ambient air. As you press the brake pedal the balance is changed by introducing air to aid braking assistance Quite possibly you have a blockage on the pedal side of the servo (the part that introduces ambient air and therefore the servo is running on pure vacuum with the pedal pressure which could blow the servo (diaphragm)? Check the filter where the pedal attaches to the servo via a rod and also check the vacuum hose from the inlet manifold (particularly the union which detaches from the servo)

Droning noise
I would have said wheel bearing but if it has been replaced then obviously not Did the hub flange look worn? as had to replace a hub along with a new bearing after replacing it previously as horribly worn and still creating a noise

Nv300 fault code P1028
If its the pump unit then it will require specialist investigation at the dealership or specialist garage Is there a warranty still on the vehicle?

Nissan Note 2011
If you can source the parts from a manual locking car (if available) then yes it can be done

Nissan note airbag light
Try moving the seat position back and forwards and try the ignition each time to see if the light goes out Sometimes its just a poor connection once disconnected

2000 Xterra extended crank to start
Before you replace any components I would run cleaning chemicals through the fuel and take for a long hard run to see if things improve. Once the engine temperature is hot and the revs are high enough then it should make a difference next time you start up

Almera 1.4 si, oil filter
It should function okay, even though it is smaller the flow and filtration will still take place but maybe struggle if the revs are pushed too much Would also consider to change it more frequently as smaller surface area for the filter element so maybe keep some in stock?

Chassis parts
Best bet is eBay, there is a link on this page. Also look for other models of Nissan from that year as may have compatible components

Petrol cable release cable replacement
May take a bit to recover the release cable but if you remove the trim from within the boot area then it maybe quite accessible from there
-
Newbie - ? Mission Impossible
I wonder if it is worth trying to secure the handle from inside, once the inner trim has been removed from the tailgate you may find a way

Hi .... welcome to the Club How have you got on with the Qashqai so far?

Qashqai J11 weird sounds
Not sure but it sounds like the bonnet is loose on the catch and needs the rubber buffers adjusting to take out the free play

Help - fuel nightmare!
I wonder if the read out is faulty and the actual fuel is not dropping in the tank as it would seem The best way is to fill to the brim, run the car for a while once the mileage is reset and then refill and calculate the mileage travelled and how many litres Do a calculation and see what the actual miles per gallon work out at

Front Passenger Door will not open from inside
Worth pulling the door card off to see what is going on inside Quite an easy job and if you need to take it to a garage then it shouldn't cost much to find the fault and repair it
