Re: Which battery is better?

The 30 kWh (2016 model) car is showing 174 km at full charge if that helps. The 174 km range the car shows isn't useful for making a buying decision - it's mocked as the guess-o-meter (GOM) for a reason. You can use LeafSpy Pro to obtain the BMS firmware version, there's more than one thread on tha...

Re: Another newbie question: home charger installer in the UK. Recommendations? Ones to avoid?

If you want to keep things simple, just hire a local electrician and tell him/her to install a dryer outlet where you would like to have your EVSE. You don't even have to tell them it's for an EVSE. Then, buy either an inexpensive 240V @ 24A portable EVSE that has a NEMA 14-30 plug on it, or buy a w...

Re: Best way to disconnect TCU

Sorry for the US bias of my reply, what a bummer that there's no recall in the UK and no worthwhile dealer support. I hope you are able to find out what's causing the phantom drain on the 12V system. Once you have an ammeter, if you find there's a constant drain on the 12V battery then try unpluggin...

Re: Best way to disconnect TCU

Seems like an awful lot of work when you could have gotten the Nissan dealership to deactivate the 2G TCU for free.

That one says NOT to disable a 3G TSU.

If there isn't one already, I think there will have to be one saying disable the 3G TSU, but don't disable a 4G TSU.

And maybe in 10 years...
A 2011 Leaf, like the OP has, uses a 2G radio in the TCU, no?

Re: Best way to disconnect TCU

Nissan has an official TSB on disabling the TCU, as it's a security concern. Also, because it's a security issue, I'm pretty sure dealers have to disable the TCU upon request for free. It's a so called voluntary recall, if memory serves. Anyways, worth a phone call to a local Nissan dealership to fi...

Re: Axle Clicking when accelerating from a stop, if steering wheel turned

Normally that kind of noise would be the outer bearing on the driver's side drive shaft, but your car is pretty young for that to go already. Typically, the boot splits, it loses grease, and then prematurely wears out.

Do you corner like a maniac? :D
