    Reading Leaf Spy data for my brand new Nissan Leaf 2024.

    Does anyone know of a better (much better) Leafspy user manual than that which comes with the Leafspy app? Personally I dislike manuals written as though the reader already knows as much about the app and its various displays as the writer knows, including the meaning of various TLAs and...

    Wider/peripheral environmental factors

    This sub-forum seems very quiet; and a reading of some post in it seems to indicate that the topics are largely about solar power. I wonder if any members here would be interested in discussing some of the wider topics of not just energy production and use but other factors such as (to give some...

    Am I doing much damage?

    I swapped a Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV for a Leaf two weeks ago, having had the Outlander for nearly six years. Experience with the Outlander's small battery capacity - 13.8 kwh - confirms that a full 100% charge can be a nuisance to the regen braking, especially if one lives in a hilly place...

    2018 SV leaf excelleration.

    "Excellerate" - This is a fine new word, especially if it represents a real syndrome in which one's Leaf increases its battery SOH over time, regenerates more going down hill than it consumes going up the same hill, never wears out the tyres and has seats that get more comfortable. If it also...

    No Leaf audio tone controls?

    Thank you Cwerdna, this is the manual info I was after but couldn't find in the UK Leaf manual. Identical info is there in the UK manual, though. (Page 4-52). But the manual seems poorly organised to me, with inadequate contents and index, so that it takes a lot of page flipping and reading to...

    No Leaf audio tone controls?

    Being somewhat deaf over a certain range of frequencies, I generally need to impose a frequency volume curve on any audio output that I listen to. The 2023 Leaf Tekna e+ has that posh Bose sound system .... but I can't find any tone controls or a graphic equaliser, whether via the knobs, buttons...

    Tyre rotation = wheel rotation?

    Well phew .... I was hoping that I wouldn't have to buy some ginormous tyre levers and do extra wrist curls at the gym :-) I'd like to do the wheel/tyre rotations myself, as its always good to have a look at what's behind the wheels; and it'll save the cost and inconvenience of having a...

    Tyre rotation = wheel rotation?

    I understand the need for tyre rotation but the wording (in the Leaf manual/displays and in the forum) is rather ambiguous. Does "tyre rotation" really mean "rotation of the tyres via rotating the wheels that they're on"? It would seem a bit of a faff to take the tyres off the wheels to swap...

    Tow ball for a Leaf in the UK

    Has anyone in the UK with a later model Leaf fitted a towing ball to their Leaf? Is there an approved process or attachment point? I read the threads about towing but I don't really want to tow, just mount a bicycle or other carrier on a tow ball. Those other threads suggest that a tow ball...

    Tire recommendation

    Thank you Drew and Front for your useful replies. The first thing of importance I note is that the Dunlop tyres supplied fitted to my Leaf state that 40 psi is the pressure never to be exceeded. In light of Front's post mentioning the sidewall max psi reasons, it would therefore seem unwise to...

    Tire recommendation

    Hi Ben. Thanks for your reply. The Nissan website describing Leafs of various kinds gives the payload weight limit as 450 Kg. If this is so but your 40 kwh Leaf also states 36psi as the recommended tyre pressure with a max payload of 390 kg, then surely 36 psi for a 62 kwh Leaf can't be...

    Tire recommendation

    The small advisory sticker on the inside of the door gives recommended tyre pressures for a Leaf Tekna e+ 2023 as 36 psi. The 60 kwh Tekna e+ is considerably heavier than the various similar 40 kwh Leaf models. Could someone who has a similar (2023 or thereabouts) 40 kwh Leaf model say what the...

    New owner of 2025 Leaf S

    Has anyone got recommendations for the more peripheral maintenance of preventing rust or other corrosions? The Leaf manual gives some advice but its rather vague - not specific to every component that might be protected by a spray of grease or a coating of wax. An example: various YouTube vids...

    Alternatives to NissanConnect Services?

    The ladywife has the only smart phone in our house so she's tried to get the NissanConnect Services app to work but finds that, although it does (sort of) work it does so with a lot of added flake, flouncing-off and generally being a PITA. So she's been looking for an alternative that actually...

    Charge Time Screen

    In Britain the cost of a new wall-point charger for an e-car is generally rather a lot. I imagine that the cost of one as sophisticated as that you mention might be prohibitive - a lot more than the potential savings via not having to download a few tens of kwh at the higher day time rate using...

    Charge Time Screen

    The Charge Time Screen gives options for the charging rate. But is it just using the selection (say 6 Kw or 3 Kw) to calculate & display the estimated times-to-charge-level in the Charge Time Screen; or to actually limit the external charger supply to 3 Kw or 6 Kw? I suspect the former rather...

    First time Leafer

    'Afternoon all. (Well, it is in West Wales). A 2023 Nissan Leaf Tekna e+ has just replaced a Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV that was our family car for just under 6 years. The all-e Leaf is a next step in an attempt to go fully-e via solar panels, house batteries and other such stuff, aiming at...
