Epg light keeps coming on intermittently
Can you describe any symptoms and what does the light look like
-
Clonk noise
Now that could be both suspension or brakes Brakes is more like a clicking noise if the pads are moving in the carrier but if the caliper is loose then this will also make a noise Check the caliper is firmly secured it will flop around and you will hear a clunking noise if not If you place a wheel wrench on the wheel nut and move the car backwards and fowards with it that should narrow down the are of the noise

Not sure where to go from there unless you dig deeper with the immobiliser to find out what is causing the draw (internal circuitry or external connections with a high resistance?)

Nissan Cima Vip 2010
It is certainly an impressive machine, very nice! Aftermarket is sometimes the best (and cheapest) way to go with an Audio system

Infiniti Q50
I would therefore possibly take it to a transmission specialist who can focus on that system specifically. Worth doing a google search to see who is in your local or wider area

Infiniti Q50
Is there any adjustment that can be made to any sensors that are connected the shift mechanism or directly on the transmission housing ?
-
NX rear wiper
I would definitely try a temporary 12 volt feed but be ready to remove it if nothing happens just in case it has a high resistance and causes an electrical fire

Nissan Cima Vip 2010
Hi Jarek ....welcome to the Club Have to say that i needed to look this model up as never seen one before Very impressive machine and see that many have been modified to look even better Post up some pics of yours if you want to Sorry, not sure on where to get components for the audio to convert to UK but years ago there just used to be an adapter that connected to the aerial and that converted it to UK stations. Not sure if there are any around nowadays as it was some time ago when I last saw or fitted on

Indicators flashing
Sounds like there could be more wire damage elsewhere, worth checking the other door switch wiring to be on the safe side

Removing fascia panel to access clock
If no screws are obvious to see when you are looking at the panel then it would more than likely be held by clips and gently pulling the panel should release it
-
NX rear wiper
It would be worth checking the mechanism isn't seized first otherwise replacing a fuse would power up the circuit and either blow the fuse or cause further issues. See if there is any movement on the spindle by trying to gently rotate back and forth
-
Indicators flashing
I would look at the earth leads and connections to start with, common fault on Nissan. After that then there may be an issue with the security control module (if under the dash it could have suffered water ingress from the windscreen leaking) - look for tell tale signs of water leaking under the dash area
-
Engine light
Does the vehicle run differently (e.g. engine running fault) ?
-
Rapidly Dropping MPG
Certainly the DPF regenerating and diluting the oil with diesel wash-down is a major cause of lower MPG This is due to lower compression being produced as the rings are not sealing due to thinner oil Only Low Ash oil recommended for that engine should be used but at least the diesel wash-down will have cleaned the engine internally 🙂

Hi Inkey5 ....welcome to the Club - Battery drain, quite possibly the laying up of the car for a length of time has caused the battery to sulphate and discharge. Either use a battery conditioner (not a charger) on it and see if it recovers over time or replace with a new one Also, once charged then you can look for a drain-source using a multimeter - also check earth straps and connection points on the chassis Oil service and fluid checks are always advisable after laying up a vehicle - also a chance to check over the car and find things to address in the near future Coolant level should be halfway within the expansion bottle and/or at the top of the radiator when you remove the cap Good to have you onboard and keep us updated on your progress

Brake light switch
Should be located on the pedal somewhere (maybe in a completely inaccessible location though)

Good choice in my opinion

Vibration at 120kph
If the propshaft had to be removed for the transfer case seal to be replaced then maybe it hasn't been put back in the same position? You could eliminate this by putting a jubilee clip on the propshaft(s) and test run the vehicle and if necessary, turn the clip slightly to another position to see if that changes the vibration
-
Engine light
Has the vehicle had any running faults that can be related to the light coming on? Or had any work done on the engine recently?

Hi Tim....welcome to the Club Good luck with your search and hope you find one

Car shudders
First thing comes to mind is tyres but could also be a clutch plate/pressure plate or engine mount issue but hard to diagnose and not sure why only in the wet Worth dropping into a reputable local garage for them to road test it just in case it is a serious issue

Qashqai manual reverse selection problem
Thanks for letting us know the outcome, nice simple and cheap solution 🙂

VDC OFF and SLIP
A quote of what the system is and not sure how it affects the car shutting down though Usually an ABS sensor that is faulty can cause this but worth getting the vehicle scanned to see what fault codes come up

Avoid Chinese tyres as these are a false economy and sometimes dangerous. Falken and Avon are the best mid-range tyres and very reasonable cost
