it could be many things, breakdown in the electrical/ignition system, throttle sensor, coolant sensor, air mass meter.....it really needs a scan when driving it and recording any instances that it may occur. You can use a device call a Data or Flight Recorded and review the info afterwards to see when it is occurring and what parameters changed at that time

Hi Ian....welcome to the Forum Sorry to hear about your wife. I'm sure there would be quite some interest in the NX100 as they are getting very rare now. Feel free to post up some photos of it if you wish

I get squealing from lots of different auxiliary belts I have fitted...all reputable makes until you see where it is made (PRC) and I put it down to lack of rubber and loaded with silicon based products. As a result, I constantly have to tighten the belts (2 different vehicles) as they also tend to stretch in use. Until I find a much better replacement belt then I guess its a case of nipping them up every so often

Good luck with your search....hope you find a good one!

Hi Adrian....welcome to the forum Sorry to hear about the Prairie, they were good cars in their day. I could crack a joke about 'every dog has its day' (prairie dog!) 🙂

Hi Heather....welcome to the forum The 1.0 litre engine is sufficient for most purposes all though it won't break any speed records I think you'll find it perfectly adequate for most journeys

Hi Dakikle welcome to the forum Glad to hear the Pathfinder is going well and still strong after all the years and miles....they definitely built them well then

Hi Jamie....welcome to the Forum That's a great deal on the Micra, got to ask through...does the roof leak at all? The Elgrand is a superb machine and shouldn't give you any issues. Good to have you onboard

More than likely to be the fuel interia cut off switch....something on the bulkhead in the engine bay that has a rubber cap on it and if you depress it to reset the switch then it should then start

Hi Gavin.....welcome to the Forum The Pathfinder is a superb vehicle and very well respected abroad where it is more popular than in the UK

Hi...welcome to the Forum

Hi....welcome to the Forum Go ahead...it may not be that dumb 🙂

You should be okay with main dealer servicing and fixed prices are attractive enough compared to local garage rates.

It looks like a vent pipe to atmosphere, although not sure where its coming from

I would check the earth straps as this sounds like it is struggling to find a good earth and shorting the alternators out. Check the earth leads from the battery first and then work your way through the engine and engine bay. You can always put additional earth straps into the vehicle to supplement what is already there to ensure the current is finding its way back to earth effectively

Hi.....welcome to the Forum They are out there but your search may be difficult to find good one Let us know when you find one

It can sometimes be a steep learning curve when it comes to modern cars but at least you found the issue and its not a serious, or expensive fault

Hi Graham.....welcome to the Forum I know that sometimes it can be down to the USB stick format and especially if it works fine on other devices but not in the car. You could try formatting the stick and reloading the music or try other formats (e.g. MP3, etc)

Hi Bob......welcome to the forum There are still plenty of old Micra's on the road and apart from bodywork issues the mechanicals are quite reliable and durable. Feel free to ask any questions and I'm sure someone will be able to assist with an answer

Hi...welcome to the Forum Seems like this may be the best info on the fault and how to rectify it Let us know how you get on with it

Hi....welcome to the Forum I would imagine it is just surface corrosion which will clean up when used for a period. Sounds like a money making advisory note at best, worth getting a second opinion at another garage to confirm

Not sure but if you walk past the mirror with it switched on and see if the light illuminates on the dash to show that there is an approaching car/object

If it is associated with driving (e.g. it doesn't come on until you are moving) then it is more than likely a seat occupancy sensor and this can be caused by placing a shopping bag or similar on the passenger seat. If not, then you may have to start looking at water ingress being a possible cause

The sensor is located on the DPF itself and if its blocked there are several garages that offer an unblocking service relatively cheap Just Google DPF regeneration and hopefully there is someone local to you
