Removal of plastic centre surround on dashboard

Hello, My car is a Pulsar 2017 1.2 manual. I need to remove the centre shiny black portion that surrounds the radio and heating controls, the reason for this is to try and stop all the squeaks and rattles that the dealer can't fix ! I removed it quite awhile ago and I'm not sure how I did it ! I rem...

Re: Engine Problems 1.2turbo

Re: Stop/Start Fault

Hello,
As kt53 states there is a button to disable the stop/start , you have to press it every time you start the car, but it's worth the effort to disable the ridiculous start/stop.
I have attached a photo which I hope makes it clear which button to press.

All the best from Neale.

Re: Alternative Nissan Alloys

The speedo is approx 1 mph slower reading now with the tyre/wheel s...

Re: Rattles everywhere

Hello, Very interesting reading that I'm not the only person finding my car -- 1.2 Tekna --has poor fuel consumption and many rattles. I've had the windscreen replaced on mine as it wasn't fitted properly at the Factory , I still have a strange creaking /knocking noise which appears to come from the...

Hello,

What a good simple idea for anyone trying to find the very poorly placed rear hatch opening button.

All the best from Neale.

Re: Rattles everywhere

Hello, Thanks for all the posts concerning my first impressions of my Pulsar , I've noticed I had a 'senior moment' and posted that my previous car was a Pulsar when in fact it was a Captur !! I stand by what I wrote in that the car moving a small amount is concerning at first , even now it adds som...
