daz8235 Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 As above, 60 plate black edition, died whilst getting fuel, ended up pushing it so other people could get past at the pumps. (they are heavy !). They key fobs would flash when pressed as though locking and unlocking but the red alarm light would not go out. Would not start and the window was down so no electrics. Rang the garage I bought it from eventually got it flat bedded back to the garage (missed my sunday dinner ), been with the garage for 5 days now. It's now at Nissan and apparently it's a fault with the immobilizer. Still waiting to hear what they are doing with it. Bloody warranty better cover it !

davey_83 Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 (edited) Sounds like this matter or maybe battery earth cable broken. Edited September 20, 2018 by davey_83 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ebized Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 As you have previously mentioned starting issues: Sounds like it is a battery issue. Do you know if the steering lock issue has been fixed that affected many 370s of similar age to your car: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daz8235 Posted September 22, 2018 Author Share Posted September 22, 2018 Update, Mill Volvo didn't know what was happening but i know they had sent it to Nissan (next door) so I drove along to Nissan. The workshop was shut but the sales lad rang the service manager even though he had finished work. He explained and it got a bit complicated, they started the car via computer ! so they know its not the engine, they have de-programmed the fobs and re-coded. They are waiting on Mill Volvo to approve a part (warranty) and guess what part, as you have mentioned the power steering !!!! I didn't think it was this at first as I assumed it meant the lock was on, he explained that it will still move but very very heavy . Yup I noticed when trying to push it. Hopefully fixed soon. Thanks for your advice cracking forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZMANALEX Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 Remember and pull the fuse once you get the car back so that you do not experience a recurrence of steering lock failure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daz8235 Posted September 25, 2018 Author Share Posted September 25, 2018 Ah well disappointing news from the dealer, it's not covered by the warranty and Nissan want £740 to fix. Gona hide in a hole for a while Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks I've not had to do this before but I'm reasonably confident with mechanical things so willing to give it a go if you need a hand. How hard can it be?..... Whereabouts are you?

John Hannon Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 (edited) The hardest thing is removing the fuse box, it does take a considerable pull to get it out, once done it’s dead easy, the YouTube tutorial is spot on If you can’t get the steering lock to release it’s too late to do this process.....you’re into the £700 bill to resolve it Edited September 29, 2018 by John Hannon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also the new part comes with a 12 Month warranty from Nissan so I'm now a bit dubious to fiddle with it. Thanks for the offer though. Maybee in 12 months 1 day :0) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
