Nissan Problems

Pop off the plastic dash panel under the large plastic housing the radio sits in, then remove the two Phillips-head screws behind that panel. Lift the dash-top panel and pop out the two covers at the base of the storage bin which gives you access to remove the two Phillips head screws there. You can now pull the entire radio panel forward and unplug the radio.

The Nissan Rogue is built in the Smyrna assembly facility, located in the USA in Tennessee.

Depending on how you treat it a Nissan Rogue (X-Trail in other markets) will last many tens of thousands of miles before needing any major components replaced, the same as any other well-built modern car. Service the car regularly and drive with sympathy and the Nissan SUV should repay you with reliable service.

Nissan's Note is 4100mm long, riding on a 2600mm wheelbase with a 1535mm height. These dimensions are all larger than other cars in its class.

You need to get the air out of the system by pressing the priming valve, which is a big button on top of the fuel filter housing. You’ll have to do it up to 50 times or so, slowly, once every two seconds. If it doesn’t start then, prime it again.

It could be a fault with the computer, but I would have it investigated rather write it off as a computer glitch. You could have a problem with the cooling system, so I would have a mechanic investigate it.

Lift the tab on the back of your Nissan X-Trail (AKA Nissan Rogue) smartkey and remove the manual key shaft. Take a small flathead screwdriver and gently pry apart the key body using the small niches on the side of the key. Pop out the battery, replace it with a new #2032 battery (positive side down), the clip the key back together and refit the manual key.  If your key is brand new to your car you will now need to look up how to program a Nissan Rogue key fob.

Take it to a mechanic to have it checked. It's most likely to be related to the cars' electronics.

Nissan X-Trail, known as the Nissan Rogue in North America, has been a staple of the compact SUV class since it first landed on Aussie shores. With regular servicing and sympathetic driving the Nissan crossover four-wheel-drive should last you many years of reliable motoring. Don't expect it to be any good in serious off-road conditions, but light beach or firetrail duties should be fine if you prepare accordingly.

Nissan's 1990s GT coupe, the Z32 300ZX, is a polarising machine. Lauded for its sporty looks, advanced technology and high-performance from the optional twin-turbo VG30 V6 engine, the 300ZX has also been accused of being bloated, overly complicated, prone to breakdowns, and difficult to work on. All 300ZXs are over 20 years of age now, and suffer reliability issues associated with old cars. Coupled with the fact they're renowned for being difficult to work on thanks to a cramped engine bay packed with complex wiring and plumbing, means they are not for novice mechanics.
