No Parking or Tail Lamps
The other night as I left my in-laws, they called me o let me know I had no parking lamps, which after a quick check at home, also uncovered I had no tail lamps either.
Headlamps work, brake lamps work, just no tail or parkers. So I did some hunting and finally found the fuse box for them (dodgy little panel under the bonnet that looks like acabin filter insert
) and replaced the burnt fuse.
That blew immediately when I turned the parkers on, so I then decided to pull out every tail and parker globe in the system and test it again, which alas, blew a fuse again
So now I gotta get Nissan to look at it, because in the full service manual there's a big row of instructions on how to chase down the culprit, so I feel they can do it instead
Let you know how it goes

Well, car goes to Nissan tomorrow as there is a recall on the early model Tiida's, they have issues with the 'bayonet' that the tail globes sit in and the rear loom has to be replaced.
Also, managed to get a puncture in the front right wheel on Friday afternoon (a screw from the area where our house is being built) then just as I got home from work last night I heard a hissing from the rear, this time the valve had shit itself and upon a quick jiggle, fell to pieces.
An hour in the scorching sun and the valve is replaced, tried fixing the punctured rim but to no avail. Taking that to the tyre shop tomorrow arvo.
So all in all, a good week for the Tiida
(and I got sunburnt to shit-bricks in the hour I was outside, fooking Aussie sun man)
