What have you done to your Elgrand today?

[LeStempy]

Camber and toe adjustment on the rear.

Found out it hurts if you get your finger trapped in the soft close boot....

What is the nearest QX1 paint colour which they use on the plastic door handles?

Just wondering what colour is the door handles as I want to re spray the rear bumper but I don’t want to use QX1 I just want the nearest colour to it.

would be interested in a near match too, i have a patch needs spraying inside the tail gate.
The nearest ive found is for a Nissan note from halfrauds

 

[Elgraman]

Potti, quilt, chair and burner in the van for a camp with the dog later

 

[Rares]

So do all Nissan Patrol buttons fit?

Looks like the listing is for Nissan patrol as is more common than Elgrand. Mine fit ok in the slot. Difficult to find something listed exactly for Elgrand only.

Did my maiden oil top up with the motorbike funnel. Wasn't as bad as I thought, just a bit fiddly, but just took my time. Kitchen towel bits ready, LED torch on and pointing to the oil cap area, old light shirt over the parts of the engine in case of drips etc.
I mentioned before that not much was gone; about 1/4 from the F on the dipstick (when it once was on F). I wanted to top it up to see that I could. Ended up adding about 230ml of MIllers. I did it in stages, about 75-100 ml at a time, let it sit for 10 mins and checked the stick. When it got to 'a touch under F' I thought be happy with what you've done, and put the oil cap back on. Hopefully that'll last until the service in about 2 months time, when I'm given them 5w-30 fully synthetic to replace the 10w-40 semi which is in it.

Edit: I checked the dipstick again a couple of hours later, when the ctek had finished charging, and the oil level had gone up a touch more, as the last of what I added much had fell into the sump. Almost bang on the F mark now, as it was when I got the van

I built a filler tool with a bit of hosepipe with a funnel wedged in it, number of times I have spilt oil is beyond counting. Fiddly fcuking job

I liked it the other day on the forecasts. As, it is, like it is 90% of the time, a pretty poor/average summer, the propaganda merchants can't have that, don't fit the narrative, so given it's been below average temps, they showed a 'heat map' in colours showing where it has been even more below average temps....but used darker red (instead of blue) to indicate coldness. Nothing like a bit of scaremongering 'red fear' to keep it topped up eh

Global warming, my arse. Unless I am feeling my age, the air has been bitingly cold once you are out of the sun. I'm not taking the blame though, took the Undertaker off the road four weeks ago whilst waiting for new wheel bearings (arrived today, thanks to the parts marvel that is @BMR ).
With any luck, I will be pissing Greta Thunberg off again by the end of next week.

Aye, it's been 6c for the last week here and it snowed for 5 consecutive days in Aviemore... meanwhile some commie professor tries to tell us that it's perfectly normal for this time of year

Thought I would let you know that the warming up process is done by the sun, that's why you get warmer when going from shady to sunny areas it's also why it gets colder when the sun sets.

Ive emailed her about the petrol guzzler you drive so I reckon she'll be pissed of with you by Friday this week. You're Welcome.

None of the fcking "experts" have a clue, global agenda to get the masses out of personal transport and back on the buses. I am getting my bus pass in 3 weeks, I fully intend to use it to the max, I've got nearly fifty years of tax to claw back

No, they don't have a clue ... buy you know the slogan... "Trust the experts"

Congratulations on gaining your business pass! Enjoy your tax clawback ... tax is theft, afterall

Meanwhile, I sewed new velcro and a popper on the side door curtain

And wasn't some weather forcaster 'exposed' the other month for talking about how it's been the 'warmest' April on record......standing in 4 layers of clothing

 

[Elgraman]

Loving these scorching summers they predicted. Just been on a walk with the dog....mid June in my winter coat and bobble hat

 

[dognero]

Going to rain on Friday so washed it today

 

[Bal]

Alexa's prediction sounds like the actual weather forcasters on the TV.
Only difference is they're paid shed loads to spout the same drivel

"the same drivel" or should that be "the same drizzle"

 

[Highway Dave]

Got as far as filter change and oil pan back on before rain stopped play, again

Ive seen a lot worse colour oil come from an Elgrand gearbox... that looks pretty clean to me or am I talking sh*t! lol
Well done for doing it bud Im still debating with mine!!
