@@damcyk4 Thing with the Qashqai, especially the J10 though the J11 isn't great for it either, in inclement conditions like a damp twisty rural road it feels like it is on the edge - like it is about to get away from you due to the high centre of gravity and suspension setup, etc. while it actually handles it better than it feels it is quite unnerving. People (or at least used to) tend to think of an SUV as something suited to using in more rural areas, etc. but stuff like the 4Motion Tiguan do that much more reassuringly. Sadly most of the mainstream "SUVs"/crossovers are just a regular car lifted a bit and if anything less suited to the kind of use you'd think an SUV was intended for.

Hi there. Greetings from the west of Ireland. I had a 2007 model, pre facelift. 1.6 petrol. Great engine from Nissan and not the Renault diesel. My wipers packed up and I had to replace the motor. Your mechanic may turn off the airbag light off but my guess is that it’ll reappear, like mine did. I had to replace the clockspring on the centre of the steering wheel. Second hand parts are not recommended because they will inevitably fail also, so I repaired with new. I ran it for another few years. It failed the NCT (MOT) on a corroded rear subframe. I had it welded but it only lasted a year and failed the following year, when I finally scrapped it. Testers in Ireland specifically examined the subframe as it was a known issue. If your car is from the NW of England, I suspect it’ll have similar issues due to the road salt. They were a fine car for their time, but are getting rare on the road now due to so many being uneconomical to repair. If I were you, I’d scrap that one. It’ll only break your heart!

I had the seven seater version of this car bought new in 2011 and sold last January with 206,500 miles on it. A common fault is the turbo intake pipe which is a plastic unit that snaps in half, in my case every two years on average. Its an easy 5 minute fix for a DIY mechanic but I started carrying a spare one in the car after getting stranded 20 miles from home and waiting 4 hours for a tow truck as the car had gone into limp mode and then shut down. Rear wheel bearings are also fairly common issues and I had to replace both of mine twice over the lifetime of the car. Apart from routine maintenance (which I do myself every 6,000 miles), I had no other issues with it. Yes its a boring car but as I have 5 kids, the seven seats were needed. Oh and it was also very economical and I averaged 50mpg.

I don’t know alot about cars but here in South Africa when these were out they sold in numbers. The engine you got there is solid and reliable I reckon for 700kwid fix it as I think it’s a 2300 Pound vehicle for sure and some decent small family would definitely buy it. You definitely can get your money back with this one and it’s nice spec 👊🏽🙏🏽

Matt mate, out it to one of your mates, it’s 160k so it’ll never be retail or donor it like you said? You’ll get your £500 back easy I reckon 👍

I would save it as they are a popular car. You could always make it 100 percent then run a free competition to attract some new punters to your showroom to make a monthly give away .

Airbag lights are common same has the Primera before it was normally the sensor under the seat that had been knocked … found a video on KZbin that tells you how to turn light off by only using car key

i thought you might have brought it to ensure there is one less Qashqai on the road a sort of public service you perform😆 Think you could spend quite a bit on this and you would still be left with a high mileage old thing where more things will break soon enough - parts car or scrap yard gets my vote!

I bought the Wife one, in 2010, same colour and year as that one. It never went wrong, not one issue. If the passenger side was better, it would have changed my mind to saving it. Cheers Mat (PS: I still have the original Nissan locking roof rack in my shed if anyone wants to give £50.00 for it)......lol
