90812-JD00H...worked in Nissan for 7 years and that number rattled off inside my head everytime I came up behind a Qashqai since I left

I can change with a blind fold, hung upsides down, drunk, while underwater.

Again on J10 Qashqais, the rear bulb holders fail and cause a disco when you brake and indicate at the same time.

Broken indicators on many cars.

EU commission should issue a letter of concern to all manufacturers

Mk5 golf/audi A3 rear windscreen wiper motor failing. Normally mid sweep. We had 2 A3s, matching his and hers and both had motors die.

All BMWs.

Oil leaks.

Old renaults with brake lights flashing as the indicators!

Mrk 1 Focus Clocks/Instrument cluster faults!

Opel Corsa's with noisy timing chains that sound like a skeleton w##king in a dustbin

And Astras

BMW's and some Audi's indicators don't work

They do, it's just the driver doesn't use them.

Dead common!

Bad solder joints on the back is the cause and can be fixed with a soldering iron and some flux.

Gob****es behind the wheel

who don’t now what all the dials and nobs mean and thus don’t indicate, leave on fog lights and don’t know why other cars flash them at nite even when there is a big blue light on the dash

I think you misunderstood the thread

Half those circular back lights gone on 08 09 avensis

Those are bulbs

Dodgy boot locks on Audis allowing sub machine guns to fall out.

Megane Mrk 2 window regulators!

Didn't work for me so got one down the scrapyard for €20 job done.

Nissan Qashqai’s with every bit of the front suspension knackered, ball joints, track rod ends , wishbone bushes, inner tie rods, subframe bushes, cv boots and anti roll bar links. Scrap. And that’s just the front suspension, I won’t get into the corrosion issues.

Front tyres bald as kojack too... I never saw a yoke like them to wear tyres.

Second generation avensis (07), water in rear lights. Also on a cold morning, iced over inside the cabin on windscreen. Both issues were old worn seals. Met a few owners over the years with exact same issues.

Every single Peugeot 207/208 with all the lights on in rear cluster constantly. Surely these are a garda magnet and can’t possibly have a NCT.

As mentioned already, the quasqui with tape over section above number plate.

BMW’s with broken indicators or is that too close to the bone ?

VW golf with very visible vibrating back box once it gets over 100kmph. Seen quite a few of these and curious as to cause.

Alfa Romeo’s with the top wishbones hanging out DJ them.
Peugeot 206 with swing arm bearings in bits.
Focus 2005-2011 with wishbone bushes and trailing arm bushes broken

Something likd this ,... But half them gone

3 bulbs in them so usually 1 or 2 gone.
