    Replacing the fuel-injector O-rings (as you do)

    :lol: Lol, this apparently also doubles as the O-ring for the radiator drain plug (which you should replace if changing the coolant). part number W0133-1644358

    Dressing up the engine bay

    Thought about doing this for a while. All done with Plasti-dip. The stencil not quite perfect and I'm going to blame that on 10-year-old "Frog Tape". :lol: I did this without removing the cover. It's sealed with adhesive and I didn't care to be poking around High Voltage. There's enough...

    Reserving 2018 LEAF?

    For anyone who's gone through this process -- how is this handled? The "reservation form" doesn't give great detail. Specifically I'm interested in how the dealership is chosen, and by whom? I don't wish to do business with the Nissan dealer nearest me, and if possible would like to start...

    40kWh pack speculation/what do we know?

    Here's the one thing giving me pause re: 2018 LEAF: 2011 24kWh pack - serious degradation issues 2015 24kWh pack - significant improvement 2016 30kWh pack - degradation issues resurface So, what was done to increase from 24 to 30kWh, and why did that lead to more battery problems? - different...

    Aero hubcap test

    Tesla Roadster 3.0 -- will Nissan ever do this?

    http://www.teslamotors.com/blog/roadster-30" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; Making the original Tesla Roadster go 400 miles. Awesomeness. Do you think anyone at Nissan will have the foresight, the balls or the enlightened self-interest to implement anything remotely comparable...

    Where are all of these 200-mile EVs coming from?

    We are seeing pronouncements from Chevy, Tesla, Nissan… Seems like they're all going to be making "affordable" 200-mile EVs within just 2 or 3 years. How is this possible? Is there some major change in cost per battery kWh on the horizon? Are they counting on some huge influence on the...

    Backup-beep backlash?

    Has anyone else noticed that pedestrians seem to go out of their way to walk behind your LEAF while you're backing up? I notice this regularly. I haven't actually stopped anyone to ask why, for fear of appearing confrontational. But I'm curious as to what is going on. My theory is that...

    kWh vs kW and why it's important

    Not really. That's only a 4 percent increase over the existing 80kw motor. [MOD NOTE: Split this topic from this post]

    SEAT BOLTS - TORQUE SPEC?

    Hi, I'm prepping my lease for return and having to unbolt the front seats to get my seat covers off. Does anyone have the proper torque values for the seat bolts? Thanks!

    Seat covers 2012 vs 2015

    I'll probably be leasing a 2015 after returning my 2012. My Wet Okole seat covers are still in excellent condition; does anyone know if 2012 seat covers will fit a 2015?

    Solano County to Orange County round trip

    Recently completed my first and only "road trip" with my LEAF. It's a 3-year lease expiring in December and I had the time so figured I'd try it out. Plenty of folks have taken longer trips but I figured I'd do a brief write-up in case it might be useful to anyone else. In preparation, I...

    In Praise of Traffic

    We had some small relief this morning from our drought. This also meant lots of drivers who somehow forgot how to manage driving through light rain. :roll: In any case, it was a nice change of pace to see the guess-o-meter wax optimistic and my battery bars become Super Bars! I find in...

    Another new CarWings wrinkle

    Occasionally, a status update request will fail. Today for the first time, CarWings had an "explanation". Something along the lines of "update failed due to weak cell reception". Well, it's a nit, but isn't this a bit presumptuous? I went to the garage, initiated a charge manually (saw that...

    NMAC warning: Check your statements!

    So, I'm leasing and signed up the first month for automatic payments. Worry-free, right? Not so. Yesterday I got a call at work, beginning with "this call is pursuant to collection of debt.... your account is delinquent by....." And I was saying "Whoa! hold on, I am on automatic payment and...

    Personal distance record (thanks to BLINK)

    I know BLINK gets its share of criticism, but I've got to say we are blessed here in the SF Bay Area in terms of public charing, and part of that is a considerable number of BLINK QC units. I've used them several times now and have never had a problem other than that they inscrutably seem to...
