Strange one I’ve scoured google and forums for…. Leaf 2016 If I press the accelerator pedal whilst turning I hear a scraping noise, the slower I go the more noticeable it is but that’s probably because I can turn the wheel more and it’s quieter If I release the accelerator pedal and turn...

As there is no isolation of the battery involved in this work any mechanic can do it. It’s no different to changing the gear oil in an ICE. In my case I used a local mechanic who happened to be EV trained as they would let me supply the oil. They sourced the gasket kit from Nissan. Oil cost me...

Thanks that’s useful to know. I just can’t get my head around the inconsistency though, like the example I’ve given with exactly the same outside temp. Certainly convinced me to get 6.6kwh for my next one!

Hi all, First post from me - I've read the "read this before posting" sticky and followed the instructions the best I can! I wondered if anyone could advise on an issue I'm encountering. I have a 2013 leaf with approx 11kwh useable battery left, and the 3.3kwh on board charger. I use for my...
