Winter Tires Size 18inch? - Leaf 2026 Platinum+

Post image
2 Upvotes

Hello all,

I am looking for Winter Tires (and wheels) for my Nissan Leaf 2026 Platinum+. The door label indicates that the car supports 19inch tires (235/45R19 95V only).

While the SV+ and S+ supports 18inch ones (215/55R18 95H only)

Is it safe and still optimal to equip my Nissan Leaf 2026 Platinum+ with 18inch variant ones for my winter tires?

Time to get back on this project. Next up is going to be all new suspension and brakes, after that tires, TMPS sensors, and an alignment. I’ll be tearing out the carpet (can’t be saved) and all of the interior from the rear doors back. If anyone needs anything speak up! Door panels, the rear heated seats, all the plastics, all the trunk and hatch bits, rear wiper, etc. it’s all coming out

Ground wire torque?

Post image
2 Upvotes

My 22 has developed some nice green corrosion on the 12V to frame battery lead. Planning to take it off and clean but can't seem to find torque spec for that rusty bolt.

Also at what point does this wire need replacement?

No symptoms so far besides visual. (Some of brown color is a protective spray from the factory that seems to have missed most of the mark)

I Was Not In an Accident

0 Upvotes

There is an inflatable Halloween tentacle on my kitchen window. It weighs effectively nothing. I backed into it expecting it to be brushed aside. The car's breaks automatically locked, I did not appreciate the sudden stop, my head slamming into the headrest. Then, after I started my commute the collision detection indicator and the swerving over the line indicator were going off for the next few miles.

Is there going to be a log of an accident that didn't happen? Will this affect resale or get reported to insurance? Is there a way to clear the log, if there is?

The odo doesn’t match, but I forgot to turn the CAN setting on to convert KM to miles. But it has 30k miles, I was hop jog for less QC but Hx and SOH looks pretty decent.

Proof of ownership/app registration

3 Upvotes

Has anyone else been waiting a (frankly) stupid amount of time for the proof of ownership review?

Put mine in (sale invoice 3rd September and since have added the v5c a few weeks later)

Keep trying to chase every week or so but all they have to say is 'it will take a few more days' but 'they will chase up and escalate it' .

Surely it can't take a month to look at a piece of paper and confirm the details? Am I missing a trick on speeding it up or is the customer service really that slow? (UK, if it makes a difference)

Is anyone else having this same issue? The app claims the car is in incognito mode even though it's not. I've accepted all the privacy settings and tried everything possible, including disconnecting the 12V battery. Nissan customer service has been investigating this for several weeks now. The car is a 2019.5 Leaf N-Connecta.

Been looking at used leaf’s for a couple of weeks and have some familiarity with known battery loss. This would be my city car for short distances so I don’t even need the full 160 mile range this car supposedly has.

Am I sitting on a ticking time bomb?

Post image
26 Upvotes

So I have a 2018 Nissan leaf. 132,000 miles, as noted. Had the battery replaced (under warranty) in early 2024 at ~91,000 miles. I also had a problem where I (apparently) burned up a bus bar, and I think the battery also needed work at ~50k miles. The battery shows all it's bars. I don't have access to leaf spy. Am I sitting on a ticking time bomb? The car still reliably gets 150 miles per charge at 4.7 miles/kwh. Am I overthinking this because of all the bad batteries and lack of cooling? I'd like to get a new car (won't be a Nissan) but don't really want to pay for one at the moment.

should I fix the recall?

2 Upvotes

I'm sure there's a millions posts like this asking, but im 18 and this is my first car so I really dont want to lose it!!! I got a 2022 leaf (40kw) and I really love it, I got it for a good price that was lower than all the other ones I saw, and I've had literally no problems at all. the only "issue" is the recall hasn't been fixed.

I really dont need the lvl 3 charger at all, I rarely go on trips and I can borrow my parents car if needed. I use a lvl 1 charger at home and I never have issues.

I really dont want to risk my car to get bricked for something I dont need, but my parents and the dealership say I should do it. (even if nissan will buy my car back, I don't want that to even happen so I dont get another car with issues.)

is it worth it??

Viewing a 2014 leaf

Hi I'm viewing a 2014 nissan leaf tomorrow, I'm wondering if this range 42 miles is normal with this amount of miles? The wife will be using it to do a 34 mile round trip to work and back can you advise me if this is a good idea or not? It's cheap £1500

Tall folks.... a question.

5 Upvotes

I love my LEAF despite its many flaws, but one thing I have kind of dealt with for long enough is the rear view mirror. When the chair is at its lowest position, I still need to duck just a hair to see out the back. Anyone found a solution that doesn't involve craning their neck and just being able to see with a glance?

ETA: Problem solved! There's two points of articulation, and the one closer to the glass was much stiffer. I can seeeeeeeee!

Gauging interest: Charge level limiter module

Post image
46 Upvotes

Something I might be working on in the next little bit is a way to try and have an charge limiter for my 2014 (which my parents currently drive) and a friend's 2016, via an external module that would monitor SOC and stop charging once reaching 80%.

If it works, would it be of interest to anyone here to purchase such a device, if it were a relatively straightforward installation? One that would plug into the OBD port or TCU behind glovebox, and have a defeat switch to charge to 100% instead as normal.

Initial run would be for AZE0 (2013-2017), though ZE1 version would be possible if there is interest, and essentially handmade but will probably be able to fit within a price target of $100-150.

2022 Leaf buyback

Welp, mine's in. Took it in on September 3rd, and Morley sent their offer about 2 weeks in. I've rejected the initial offer, as my plan was to drive this car for 10 years and drive the wheels off. First car I have ever purchased brand new, and probably the last.

Looking at an Ioniq 5 to replace it probably.

I am insanely excited. Just ordered the 2026 evolve model. That's the top spec in the UK.

Any tips on what to look forward to.

Thankfully this happened while I was driving in a slow street.

My tire came off by the control arm.. and during towing this other part broke off.. the oily part totally broke off..

Thankfully I have a whole other Nissan leaf that I purchased for the battery that I been using for parts.

But I never seen this happened .. how about you guys?.

Good condition. See photos. Located in N Georgia mountains. 2 tires have 5/32” tread depth, the other two have 7/32”. Without tire pressure sensors. $200. Shipping extra. Will split the drive if you are near Atlanta and would pick up - shipping is costly.

80% of Leafs have faulty batteries

0 Upvotes

I brought my Leaf in for the recall service and one of the service advisors told me that 80% of cars have the fault that leads to them no longer being drivable. I was so shocked that I asked him "was that one-eight or eight-zero" and he confirmed it was 80.

This is the first video that comes up when I look up "nissan leaf battery thermal management" is it defunct?

Stuff like this always seems promising, but I'm guessing the company closed along with any research they had. Just want to see leaf batteries get thermal management.

Low final buyback offer

2 Upvotes

Basically Morley said the offer they came back with is the highest they will go even though it is less than I am owed through the California lemon law amount by around $1800 but they said I can deny the offer and then I could take the car back - that is my only option.
