Your set up looks fine. We don't have the extra plastic/cover you have under the car where the tyre is though so keeping that and hiding it under there is perfect.

There is a bolt in the trunk/hatch that you screw to loosen the cage around the spare and it then simply unhooks from the brackets holding it in. I unfortunately had the pleasure of needing to use the spare a few weeks ago. However when I purchased the car the dealer told me it would be easier...

Funny you pose that question... I feel hardly anyone know there is anything different about the LEAF, until they talk to me about my 'new car' and I have to tell them it's electric. Not that I mind promoting it at all! But on my regular commute to work Westgate... Kingsway... Dandynong road...

Yeah part true, but by flat I'm sure he meant to say degrade. The same for a layman but very different for an ev driver. And Nissan AU seems to be keeping the inventory tight and only delivering cars to dealers once the one or two they have in stock are gone...

Maybe the vin decodes are US specific that's why they are throwing up theses dates. Anyway on to your purchase!!! Since we currently only have one model available here in Australia I'm guessing if we are lucky we may see the introduction of the lower spec model only. And then I'd still want...

No no, that's Moreland City Councils car. The guy behind the ev movement there, Stuart, I also met when I got to use the charger. He is as excited as us about the car and what makes it better is he is in a position to promote infrastructure because of his position in the council. Moreland is a...

How do you come to decode the bin to a 2010 build?

It's in Moreland. I regularly check my ChargePoint app and it was sheer coincidence the day I checked it they were commissioning the unit and it was listed online. I'm sure you can imagine my excitement at seeing a fast charger, I was in the car like a shot on my way to check it out lol. Once...

Ev's are here to stay. Maybe slow on the uptake here in OZ but it will happen. I'm in Melbourne myself and love being able to tell pele about the car. They are all quite surprised at just how much car it really is. As for your infrastructure concerns I too had them before I purchased mine. But...

This is true. We basically have the Japan spec model. However we do not have heated seats or steering wheel. Nor is a 2013 model available to us yet until the 2012 stock allocation has cleared. That's why we are seeing great price reductions at the moment.

LAITH!!!! How dare I not see this post earlier! Sorry. 120km should be no problem in city traffic, even with AC on. I'm not sure how many private sales there are currently in Melbourne but adding another would be great. Especially since the car is now advertised for $39999! Crazy! Plus I'm...

Lucky for you guys! I asked Nissan Australia for some touch up paint and they advised me they were not supplying the Ocean Blue here in Australia at all. Their suggestion... Go to an auto repair shop and get them to mix me some!

I'm having issues here in Australia too! On trying to access the 'Info from Nissan' tab on the navi unit in the car it downloads the first 2/4 items, from memory my previous days kwh/km and my regional rating, then it freezes and the remaining 3/4 and 4/4 don't download and the unit resets...

Congrats Duncan, The price drop I'm sure will open the cars availability up to so many more interested people now. I sent you a PM.

We have cruise control yes, but I'm not sure what you mean by a speed limiter though?

Well to begin with I wasn't aware it was there at all. The dealer told me to call roadside assistance if I got a flat so I figured there wasn't a spare. I'm guessing its standard factory fitted for the AU LEAF.

Hey Leigh! Hope to see you cruising round one day then. There just isn't enough of us! I'm a western boi myself. Chris.

Hey I added the pics to the Picture area... heres the link... http://www.mynissanleaf.com/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=11074" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

As requested by a fellow MNL poster ive uploaded a couple of picture of the spare tyre that is located under the boot/hatch/trunk area of the car. Its a space saver with a very basic bracket holding it in place. Jack location in hatchback, Spare tyre under car 1 Spare tyre under car 2

I forgot to post in this thread... We took deliverey of our Blue LEAF here in Melbourne, Australia, on the 21st December. Loving it. Can't hardly beleive we finally have one!! :D :D
