I usually find with most Heat Pump Leaf issues, that the owners have never had the HVAC Pressure tested and / or recharged.
Any AC Company should be able to do this for you.
99% of the time all I have to do is regas an ignored system.....
Many lower end brake pads don't have 'chamfered' edges where they meet to discs - the 90* edge can cause vibration / groaning / squealing even from new.
Any that I'm fitting that come like that, I always Don my face mask and ring the leading and trailing edges to 45*, with 100% mouse...
For us in Europe, 2013 onwards is generally accepted as the best, with a more reliable, efficient heater & better battery / charger and more boot space too 😉
You CAN take the pawl off the top of the diff casing, and turn the shaft manually - I've had to do it once - I DEFINITELY don't advise it...... #NissanLeafPhoenix 😳
It is stored in the pack - absolutely - I do 'before and after' Battery Reports for my #LeafBatteryUpgrade customers, whilst I have their car - this also helps buyers of the 'older' packs to have a better idea what they're buying :)
I can read ALL the charging / temperature / drive start % etc etc from any Leaf with the excellent Battery Report from the EVsEnhanced Service & Reporting Tool - if I can, Nissan can, and I'll bet there's a 'wilful abuse' Warranty exclusion clause hidden in all the small print.......
As leftiebiker says, ther's insufficient power from the lighter socket ..... here's a solution I did on my 2012, 'Wet PTC' model, when it went cold [obviously doesn't work on 2013 onwards 'dry PTC cars .....]...
YES! This is very straightforward for those of us that do this - and, using the #EVsEnhanced Translator Kit can easily be done by your local mechanic ......
There's a photo album, with dimensions, on my FB page, for the brackets, too ;-)

I'm almost completely certain that's going to be down to surface corrosion on the brake discs - for some reason, the same corrosion on the front discs is inaudible.
It generally clears on the first or second stop of the day - you can encourage it to clear more quickly by charging to 100% before...
I have been speaking with Hybrid Tec for a while now, and await my first demonstrator battery kit - we will be stocking and supplying these in Hungary, so EU Taxes and Duties already paid - and we will be dealing with Warranty here in Hungary, too -
BUT, nothing is finalised, yet, although...
There's an HUGE demand for Used Leafs here in Eastern Europe - batteries too - so the more obvious 'big battery' cars will soon be targets as self-moving stolen batteries...... 😳
