Update

Nissan have identified a problem with some of the control units that manage the Xtronic gearbox. So it was that we received a recall notice for the Qashqai - they wanted to apply a software update. The Gorse Fox contacted the garage last week and this morning popped along to give them access to the car so they software could be downloaded.

Not so easy.

It turns out that the control unit in our QQ was not the one for which the recall was released. This was a relief, at first, as clearly nothing was wrong. Indeed the engineer tried to update it anyway, and the update was blocked. Marginally more worrying though, was the fact that Nissan clearly haven't got the correct bill of materials registered against our QQ. This was pointed out to the dealer and they resolved to get straight on to Nissan and sort things out.

Oh well, it gave the Gorse Fox an hour or so to sit and read.
