My 2014 Leaf is down to about 40 miles range in the winter, 60 in summer. Has anyone successfully added another battery? I would have thought you could connect another one in series so that when the first one gets low, the second one kicks in. There's plenty of room in the boot! Or am I just a...

I have a worrying sound from my 2014 Leaf. When it hits about 56mph there is a thrumming sound from in front of me. It seems to be coming from the engine compartment. It gets louder (even if you don't go any faster) and you can feel the vibration through your feet and the steering wheel. It...

Dala on YouTube suggested I start a new thread for this. I have a 2012 Leaf and the CHAdeMO chrager has never worked since I bought it a year ago. Nissan want me to drive 80 miles and charge me £250-3000 to diagnose and/or fix it, and it could take 3-6 weeks. According to LeafSpy I used to have...

I'm charging up at 12p per Kwh. But how do I convert that into a figure for cost per mile? It's a 2012 Leaf, and I'm not sure if it tells me what my efficiency is.

When I posted here that my CHAdeMO socket was not working (which I found out after I bought the vehicle), someone suggested checking for corrosion behind the socket. That seemed unlikely to me since corrosion is not a big issue in the south of England. A month ago the registration plate light...

I've tried looking this up everywhere online and nobody gives a straight answer. So I have a Type 1 to Type 2 cable. The Type 2 end is the same as the top part of the CCS charging socket. Can I just plug in my Type 2 plug into a CCS socket and charge my 2011 Leaf? The CHAdeMo socket doesn't work...

I bought a 2012 Leaf in May this year and it has been a heap of trouble. First the touch screen/radio/SatNav system wouldn't work. The touch screen didn't respond. Nissan don't have replacements, but if they did they would cost in excess of £2,000. I had to have one imported from a breaker in...

I rashly decided to take my family on holiday in my 2012 Leaf, which I have only owned for a few months and never fast-charged before, even though we had to go 150 miles to get to our destination. I plotted a route and got to the first fast charger with 10 miles to spare. Plugged the ChaDeMo in...

The local dealer wants £100 to run a diagnostic on my 2012 Leaf, and wants the car all day. I remember reading on this forum that you can buy a unit to plug into the diagnostic socket. What's the best one for me to buy? And will it give me comprehensive results, similar to what I would get from...

I live near Reading in southern England. Can't find a non-Nissan dealer mechanic in my area. Anyone got a recommendation?

Anyone got an idea how to fix a touch screen that goes into a loop, opening and closing until it flattens the battery, every time the motor is turned off? It's a 2012 Leaf, and I just replaced the screen with one from another car (because the touch screen had stopped working). Right now I can't...

When I bought my 2012 Leaf a couple of months ago I found the touchscreen didn't work. I searched high & low and eventually found one in America, which has now arrived. My plan was to change just the screen and leave the guts of the unit in the car, so that I didn't have any problems with codes...

So I just bought a used Leaf and discovered when I got home that the touch screen doesn't work and nor does the Open/Tilt button on my navigation/display system. Previous owner claims no knowledge and has left me to my own devices. I can find used replacement units on Ebay, but none of them has...
