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 😳

Here's a recent 30kwh to 40kwh upgrade,reports before & after the swap :)

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.......

The label is behind the loom that is held in by the cadmium plated bracket & bolt in your 2nd photo .....

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 .....]...

I'd give you back up to 4000Euro for a perfect 40kwh pack, whilst fitting you a 62kwh #LeafBatteryUpgrade :)

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 ;-) https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100070435497178

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...... 😳

Yes, someone could drive it away, when it's running & you're in the store with the fob......but only until they turn it off......

This is, in my experience, almost certainly down to dying cell(s)......😌

This, thankfully, is a completely different 'poor maintenance' issue, needing new CV joints and boots, not the 'poor build' issue that affects many Nissan models, which the TSB covers nicely with thick grease, new nuts & correct tightening 🙏

Yes, I had DTCs -it was 5 years ago now, so can't trace the records from back then

This is interesting, as I've triggered Turtle deliberately on a number of Leafs, older and newer, bigger and smaller battries, and haven't yet seen less than 2km on turtle ...... is your comment based on experience, or just theory ??

The proof is documented in many many scientific documents - and further, from my research and experience .... I NEVER post opinions, unless it is prefixed by IMHO, this is a brief summary of many many research papers I have read, and my own extensive research & testing ..... Conversely, and...
