Super. Mines diesel. No squeaks here.
When is it doing it mainly?
I'll try and replicate to see
That's reassuring to know When is it doing it mainly?

When I collected the car from the garage, I started reversing and as I turned the steering wheel, it started creaking straight away. It's definitely not a noise you can replicate unless something is broken, it sounds like a banshee is being tortured.
I see there's a Vettel edition for sale again - same money as when I last saw one, which was a few years ago now at the former Stockport dealership:

For that money, I'll take an X5M... https://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202205185...
Far less miles, 575BHP and two years younger:

Good luck getting 42k for the Vettel.

As for the FX Vettel vs an X5 - I wouldn't have a modern X5. I like my BMWs but the modern stuff is flaky as hell. Even taking into account the age and power difference it would be the Infiniti for me.
It’s been a while gents - time to give you this thread a nudge :-)
Unfortunately the “AVM unit has failed” in my 30d. Nissan confirmed it today during the car’s service. This unit must control the 360 degree cameras as they’ve only been intermittently working for a year or so. £1500 replacement jobbie.
Has anybody else had this go pop? I’m going to check the breakers yards but my concern will be compatibility and coding etc. Need to avoid throwing good money after bad

No I haven't had that fail. I've got a DPF clogging issue that I am working through a resolve for.
The only part I had fail was the power steering hydraulic hose, £500 for the new pump and hoses from Japan. Better than fitting a second hand unit, but took 3 months.
Best of luck with the search

I’m trying to contextualise whether your £500 bill was reasonable or not (seems OK-ish). This camera unit would be on Japan back order too. I’ve taken to eBay where there appears to be a QX being broken. Message sent to the seller…let’s see

eBay seems to be our only source of parts......
£145 for the part. But taken off a 2012 model (mine is 2011). Is it worth a punt? Wonder how accessible the unit is - maybe behind the dash?

Hi.
Back in the day, we had an FX30 S Premium and getting tyres (265/45/R21) was a 'mare. There was a limited choice, not always readily available, and not inexpensive.
We're contemplating a QX70 S Premium which I guess has the same size wheels and tyres.
Has availability improved, or will I still have to sell my kidneys? Would alternative sizes be OK? Oponeo shows 255/45, 275/45 or 285/40 as possibilities, with 275/45 having more choice.
TIA
