So here we are NCT fail at 84,000 kms for front suspension ball joint on front left worn.

Is this a main dealer job or a local garage, he also want the tracking reset?

Also noted that all 4 tires are 6 years old but not worn enough to fail.

I changed the front ones at some point, so where is the date on the tires that he is basing this on.

Also noted that h windscreen washer was empty...

Local garage.

And you should probably do both sides when you are at it.

he also want the tracking reset

Local tyre centre

Also noted that all 4 tires are 6 years old but not worn enough to fail.

so where is the date on the tires that he is basing this on.

The year of manufacture is printed on the outside of all tyres.

Thanks KC, as always, have lined up a mechanic.

I cant for the life of me see the date on the tyres, can someplace post a picture at your convenience

Thanks, put 4 new tyres on and full tracking 400 euro.

Ball joints by 2: 26 euro plus 30 labour

So now when I reverse, after a metre or 2 there is a slight sound and I get the impression that the "handbrake" is engaging momentarily.

82,000 kms

Any thoughts?

Yup, common issue with the leaf. If anyone has a good fix for this I would love to hear it. I got my rear brakes + pads replaced with Nissan OEM parts but did not fix it. That's on a 24kWh 2013 Leaf.

Another common one seems to be the 'L' driver type of braking. Especially when almost coming to a stop, it's like it's not sure how to deal with the regen and actual brake application and it's doing a bit of both willy nilly. Makes you look like a newbie in the car ;)
