dropped car off this morning to nissan, they just phoned back, it is the steering lock that as caused the fault, they can clear it but comes straight back on, for the diag and a new part its around £730 any ideas how to fix it cheaper or have i gotta bite the bullet ??

Bugger - should have listened to Alex and took it to Nissan, they couldn't find anything wrong apart from some low voltage faults that they cleared, light still on, they seem to think its the steering solenoid, yes they googled the problem lol, now booked in for 1st Feb at Nissan where i purchased it from and see what they say. Hopefully its not a £1300 fix thats been suggested else where on the net, my local garage did say to inform nissan uk about the problem if the dealership can't find the problem and they may be able to help further.

Thanks Colin, thats what i thought, pulled the fuse anyways, can easily put it back in

Car still working fine, booked car into my local garage on Wednesday, hopefully they can get to the bottom of the light problem

should i still leave the fuse out when i pop to the garage ?

yeah that's what i'm thinking too, might try my local garage first see if they can help, thanks again for your help

Just tried the u480 reader, no fault codes Didn't look at other menus on the reader, didn't want to mess something else up, any ideas ???

Fuse out in 20mins, thanks for the video. Code reader ordered should be here tomorrow.

Would this code reader work ??? https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B013DSTPWY/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_mwxpCb60NFJ0S

Thanks again just been out to the car, there are no lights on the fobgina hole, there should be one top and bottom ??? maybe the port as gone bad, hence the light ?

Thanks for the reply, which fuse is it and wheres the location

Hi Guys, Since Saturday there's been a SOLID yellow key warning light on my dashboard, everything works as it should, opening doors, starting car etc, tried the spare fob still the same, left keys in the cup holder instead of pocket, even tried the fobgina slot and still the light is there, a google search says it could be steering lock fault but thought they were all sorted back in 2009-10, mine is now out of warranty and i don't fancy being stuck in the middle of no where if it fails to start the keyfob battery was changed last year, surely it cant be that as there's been no other warning messages, other than trying a new battery is there anything else i can try or is it a Nissan job

thanks for quick reply, will let him know he seems to think it might be from the music hall era.

Hi Guys n Gals, we all know there's a great knowledge base of all ages in here, so here's one for you my Elderly father is trying to find the name of a song or poem, possibly dating back to the early 1900's or later with the following lines/lyrics - "I stood there before my lover with my short shirt for a cover" "Ran home to my mother with my gloves in my hand and hat on one side" That's all he can remember and he'd like to get to the bottom of it if possible, google search seemed to have drawn a blank, HELP

might help, i would remove the arm rest tho https://www.instructables.com/id/Pimp-my-350Z-armrest/ am sure there was a guide on here somewhere, think they used rubberised paint **edit** - sadly pictures lost to photobucket -

Sad news indeed mate.

Nice choice need to update your signature now

thanks for the reply, yeah don't really want to messing about with electrics and petrol, was going to use a water pump on the generator so that would add another hazard too. have looked for a brand new generator, about £160 for a similar model and would be safer

had a cheapo petrol generator for a few years, don't use it that much but came to use it this morning and the circuit breaker wont stay in the on position, no click heard but does click when you select off, tried a little bit too hard and snapped of the prong on the left side so always in the off position , tried online and a few local electrical shops, sadly they have never seen one before any ideas where to find one or a different replacement that would work ?? size is 65mmx70mm (including screw terminals)x 38mm. cheers in advance.

Hi Billy

Sounds like a plan, try to get one with an i5 4570 or better, 8GB ram, 500GB+ HD and windows 10

looks like the dell 9020 uses a proprietary PSU - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Dell-i5-Optiplex-9020-Tower-PC/183104402313?hash=item2aa1df7389:g:wK0AAOSwQglamWp6 doesn't use the standard 20/24 pin motherboard connector as i wrongly assumed
