Not enough clue .could be brake pads ,could be lower ball joint come loose.

Mine is the same 40 k all down to one bad cell .needs changing.ok full charge. Small Amount off top and it goes into limp mode.

Yes. Took my gen 1 for an NCT and it started after that .would suddenly give a pull then go on happily. Changed front joints and one side wish bone to pass test. Just the same.then my near side abs failed .replaced the sensor and all was happy.i have a feeling that the slip test carried out...

Probably not I had so much trouble getting a good hold in the wish bone.if they are ok and you are unable to get any movement with a bar from underneath leave well alone. Modern test equipment is a different story.where a test is concerned probably yes but change the entire unit.i have...

They are easy to replace I got it down to 20 minutes including pressing out . However my experience and my next door nabour is that they do come loose easily . probably because our local road surface is less than perfect.causing much noise.

I took my ,11 leaf to be tested.failed on ball joints .they are only a press fit. And are prone to excessive movement. always replace joint and wishbone.took 3 fails for me to cop on. Ps they are secure however with large clip against total failure. But not test version

Hi Can anyone tell me where the incabin plug socket is powered from ? As I want to plug a heater into it .gen 1 Japanese built model . Heater cold only . Thanks

Have a gen 1 ,Japan built version Replaced battery. Since when heater has not worked. If I use a plug in one will this drain off the 12 v causing all the usual upset. Or any other way round this problem. Rest of car great.42 k battery 300 to 350 k range.
