Had an e-mail from my local Nissan dealer (Portsmouth) January 15th that they were, in spite of Covid-19, still open for servicing vehicles so presumably spares as well. Surprised that your local dealer is closed.

On my 2014 LEAF 24kWh, with the heating on with outside temperature round about 0C, the fans behind the radiator sound like a hovercraft about to embark on a journey. Turn the heating "off" and everything reverts to silence.

A 2 m.p.h. error is very good, my 2014 Leaf has a 10% (approximately) error, that is true 30 m.p.h. is 34 speedo reading, 40 m.p.h. is 44 speedo, and so on. Come to think of it my previous car, an ICE VW had much the same level of error, but both of these were marvels of accuracy compared to...

I had similar problems when I first bought my Leaf last year. The wretched thing wouldn't change from reverse to drive or vice versa, even with my foot firmly planted on the brake pedal. Subsequent experience of the car revealed that it can be at times painfully slow to respond to input from...

John's gospel chapter 11 verse 35

Hello John, I assume from your username that you;re from the UK (Bideford, Devon). I'm from UK, have a 2014 Acenta and the VSP is inoperative on this as well. Checked the loudspeaker and that seems OK, so there's no signal getting to it. Not that fussed, although jaywalking pedestrians at low...

That said, the Leaf doesn't let you stop charging at a specific percent, so it's rather annoying to do and not worth your time. But technically speaking, this advice is harder on the battery. On my 2014 Acenta (dunno what the equivalent is in the USA) the drivers' handbook specifically...

I've tried changing in Accessory mode, On mode and Ready mode, all give the same negative result.

Thanks for your response, and apologies for not acknowledging sooner, but on the day I posted my query I also ordered a new 12V battery (as the original was flagging somewhat) and I wanted to wait until the new one was installed to see if there was any improvement. It arrived yesterday, checked...

I've owned my 2014 LEAF for just over a month now, VERY pleased with the car, but I have some issues regarding sounds. I see from the owners manual that there is a choice of 3 start up sounds and these can be selected via the Settings menu. Had a go with this and found that I could get #1 and...

With my recently acquired LEAF I disconnected my battery coupla weeks ago to recharge it and had no issues whatever with the car when I reconnected, other than the trip odometers reset to zero and I lost the time of day - this latter reset itself first time I drove the car. Anticipating future...

johnlocke thanks for the information concerning build date. You'll be pleased to know that I'm already complying with your recommendations, charging to 80% and allowing the charge to sink to 20 - 30 % before recharging.

Many thanks for your swift response. My car was registered new in June 2014 so there's a possibility that it might have the earlier defective chemistry, especially if it had been standing in storage for any length of time. A build date would be useful here. I think we can discount quick...

Another Newbie here with a battery degradation question. I've owned my Leaf for just 3 weeks and am delighted with it, coupla days ago I started using LeafSpy Pro and this informed me that my battery's SOH is 83.57%. The car is 5 years old, has travelled 18,500 miles and Spy also informs me...

+1 for the Retirement Community! I'm 74 and just bought a 2014 LEAF with just 18000 miles on the clock. Love it to bits! After a lifetime spent in the motor trade I've had just about enough of crawling beneath a car to drain engine oil, change the filter and dispose of the old lubricant, not...
