  1. 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.
  2. Can you reverse the connection....e.g. initiating it from the phone to car instead?
  3. Hi....welcome to the Club There are many options to fit (BullBars, Steps, Racks, etc) There is a great company offering such items and reasonable prices as well https://direct4x4.co.uk/
  4. Try this company as they may have aftermarket lamps that will do the job https://www.headlampsdirect.co.uk/
  5. 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
  6. 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
  7. I think Facebook Marketplace, Gumtree or eBay are the best choices for secondhand ones....seen a few on there over the past year
  8. 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
  9. Hi.....welcome to the Club Have you considered getting it wrapped? It may also prove to be more durable than the paint
  10. 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
  11. Hi....welcome to the Club 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 Let us know how you get on with it
  12. Hi.....welcome to the Club 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 Let us know how you get on with it
  13. Hi....welcome to the Club 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 Let us know how you get on with it
  14. Your local dealership should be able to switch this function off for you
  15. Usually an external antenna should resolve this. Halfords stock these, and reasonably priced
  16. It sounds like the air con system could do with checking out, e.g. gas pressures and then see if this makes a difference with it cutting out
  17. Nice simple solution if not a little fiddly to resolve 🙂
  18. You could try Sat Nav store and see what they offer, would be cheaper than the dealers for an update
  19. I would ask the question as it sounds like a door lock actuator fault and better for them to foot the bill
  20. 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).
  21. 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
  22. 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.
  23. 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
  24. 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
  25. I seem to have dropped in power over the years and increased in economy....sign of ageing or growing up 🙂
