They are rubbish cars, we had a 2017 model and the engine shat itself at 42000 miles costing us £4000. Renault garbage engine. They do seem to be built with sub standard components for the size of vehicle.

Difficult to guess at really, if the engine runs then it may be worth removing the belt covers and seeing whats happened. Dont run it anymore though.

Check to see if anything is loose with the engine switched off first.

Id be concerned about the 1 new brake pad! Anywhere from £300 to £600 depending on the garage.

Are you performing the calibration procedure correctly? Put the window down and hold for a few seconds Put the window up and hold for a few seconds I believe you repeat this twice, if its still not right id try disconnecting the battery as suggested. Sorry if thats teaching you to suck eggs!

Gentlemans agreements with accidents are always on dodgy ground. Id want him to pay for the work personally but good luck with that, you may never hear from him again. Its not uncommon for them to blame the accident on you either so just take care.

What problems are you experiencing? Starter motors draw a lot more than 35 amps, especially on cranking, it can be 10 times that. Size of cable from battery to starter would need to fairly substantial, at least 50 mm squared at a guess.

walk away from it.

Hard to say with you having changed a lot of parts. Maybe check the timing is ok.

Maybe its easier to take in to Nissan for this one, failing that if you had RAC cover they may be able to help but i would guess it would need to be a non start condition for them to come out. We had a Qashqai battery replaced on the drive by them but obviously the car was still under warranty...

**** happens as they say.

Ive read a lot of different views on this, if the battery ratings are identical some say it doesnt need coding but its a bit of a grey area. If the fault has happened since the battery change id certainly look into getting it coded as that seems the most logical solution.

Im not a fan of glass fuel bowls in engine bays, i think id try and upgrade it if i could I know they have been around for years but it still scares me.

I would guess a roof re paint in our current climate to be near £500. Used to be around £300 before the world went mad.

Its not uncommon for the clamping bolt holes to fill full of crap too when cleaning out, the bolt then bottoms out before tightening introducing more issues.

Id agree, the surface has to be prepped well even for wrapping. In my experience the rust will always return unless done properly which it very rarely it is.

A horrid job this, id try and remove as much caked on crap from around the injector before removing it. Compressed air is handy to blow it out if you have use of it, an old vacuum cleaner too. I wouldnt go too mad attacking it with anything aggressive.

Could well be the latest spec stuff which is 508.00 so worth checking. Not sure on the differences, maybe the viscosity.

Just stick a new motor in it, not worth messing about with it.

Just buy a quality one, Bosch seem to be the best in my experience but the Halfords own should be ok.
