Faults

A new issue for my Note..!

Rear axle has a +5 degrees dif. between the 2 wheels

(+2 more than the accepted limit).

This must have happened from a clumbsy parking attempt..

Can this be (safely) repaired or I MUST replace the rear axle?

Thanx in advance.

Eibach springs, will make it more steady..

change the 185/65/15 tyres, immediately!

I ve used 195/50/15 (the speedometer is not accurate any more

and you rev. it high in journeys but the steering is very sharp)

I would say 195/55-60/15 would be nice!

 

Usually when notes are driven hard, you ll hear souns from the:

the small round part (don't know the word for it).

It's not concerning, but if you push the car more, the cluch

starts to slip over the plateu all right..

This occures more often in 1.6 engines, where the torque is bigger.

 

As long as for more power, the most indicated way, is to place

a full exaust system, but you ll get enough noise in the cabin..

hi my wife has a 59 plate note which she uses as a driving school car the first clutch went at 800 miles  and has been back to the main dealers 7 times with the same problem (the clutch keeps slipping )and they cant seem to fix it any ideas any one

If its the mark1 nissan note your reffering to, Ive been lead to believe that the nissan dealers will allways "play it cool" to the vehicle wandering and feeling unstable issues, its due to the tyre size? apparently on the new shape notes they have wider tyres. i havent really looked into it so dont quote me on it.

I had some aftermarket alloy wheels on my mark 1 note cant remember the exact tyre size but it drove like a totally diferent car. Didnt wander, could throw it into corners and it would stick to the road.

As for the brakes i can here the master cylinder hissing from inside the car drive any other note they are all the same. if you do an emergency stop as soon as the rear wheels start to lock up you loose most of the effort you put into the pedal due to the ABS system override.

Id say the most annoying thing with the power steering is it well over assisted and MOST annoying when your on a long motorway drive like i do day in day out and turn the wheel at the motorway exit and the steering isnt power assisted as the electric pump is turned off to save power seems to take for ever to kick back in.

i can often reason with them, just tell them that i use dto do the same job, however, they had the car in today, said they found no faults at all, but since telling them that they did a service and work on the brakes recently, the car has miraculously been cured of most of the issues i had... how bizarre?????
