Bought a 2021 Captur 2 Auto and very pleased - lovely styling as you said! My problem is (and others have said the same) I cannot locate the trip ie miles done since setting off! I have the model with...
The range on our 2013 Nissan Juke 1.6 DiG-T is hopelessly inaccurate. Even with a full tank of fuel, the display will say 90 mile range. Two franchised dealers have told us that there is no fault code...
