Hi....welcome to the Club
In reality, the disc retaining screws hold the disc to the hub flange but when the wheel is secured the discs are located and secured in position so the screws are then redundant.
By using the screws to secure the disc it makes it easier to fit the wheel with aligning the wheel when fitting.

There are many options to fit (BullBars, Steps, Racks, etc)
There is a great company offering such items and reasonable prices as well

Its tough to say without experiencing it first hand.
It is more likely to be a stabiliser mount as in the gearbox mount as it is under a backwards and forward motion that is causing the noise.
Therefore, it has to be a mount or stabiliser bar that controls that motion
I would definitely restore it if there is no corrosion and it seems to be mechanically sound.
It will only go up in value over the years and would be a great car to drive around occasionally and take to shows in the future
Hi Philip.....welcome to the Club
eBay is definitely the place to source automotive clips and there are specialist online stores that sell specific clips so worth doing a search and comparing your clips to find a suitable replacement
Hi....welcome to the Club
I would have the injectors tested and also a compression test on the cylinders which could also highlight the issue you are experiencing.
Let us know how it all goes

Not sure if there is a recall issue but definitely worth taking into a Nissan dealer to have the ADAS looked at.
It may be performing as it should be may not be capable of recalibrating for some reason, hence Autoglass wouldn't touch it

Wow! that must have been a spectacular wipe out!
If the intake is damaged along with the engine then I guess any competent garage should be able to carry out the work at a reasonable price

Generally, most cleaners are suitable to help break down the carbon but you would also need to drive it hard to build up the pressure which helps to blow out the soot.
Worst case scenario would be to get the DPF professionally cleaned and refitted which will almost certainly resolve the issue

Only other thing I can think of is the wiring loom that goes from the drivers door to the A post is broken.
Peel back the rubber gaiter and also inspect the connections.
Sometimes, when a door is opened and closed over time the wiring breaks where it articulates (also happens on tailgates).
I cannot think of any particular reason the windows are functioning as they are.
Maybe best to wait to see what occurs when you fit the new window switch.
Let us know the outcome
Hi....welcome to the Club
Usually, in the absence of a full size or space-saver spare wheel then there is a 'get you home' puncture repair kit.
This consists of a tin of spray foam which is introduced into the tyre via the valve and then the air compressor is connected to inflate the tyre to pressure.
Once you have managed to drive to a tyre repair centre then the tyre will usually need to be replaced.
Another option is to use 'Slime' in the tyres which prevents punctures and can be driven with it in the tyre permanently.
The usual way to release a bonnet is going through the grill area, either try releasing it with a screwdriver poked through but watch the radiator, etc
Alternatively, try removing the grill to access the latch mechanism
Hi....welcome to the Club
Wow! a Bluebird.....haven't seen one in a very long time.
Definitely worth doing up, would check the fuel lines and drain down any old fuel you can retrieve then look for any rodent damage and it should be as good as new.
Would love to see video of the old girl starting up for the first time after her long rest
Good to have you onboard and keep us updated on progress
