When compared with QX60, Pathfinder wins over value for money, but perhaps its biggest weakness is a lack of safety gadgets that are offered by QX60 model.

Mercedes S class

The 2014 Mercedes Benz S class ranks high in terms of safety and quality. There are wide arrays of luxury features as shown on this website.The twin turbo 5.5-litre V8 is incredibly fast and there are a number of driver assistance features available on the S-Class. This car is capable of driving itself at low speeds with an excellent poised handling through fast turns.

You will have an unbelievably comfortable ride that is still unmatched by many other competitors in the auto industry.

Tesla S

This car’s responsive powertrain and quality interior excels as a luxury car. Tesla Model S drives quietly at speed and is much quicker than many other sports cars. You will get 94 mpg at a 200-mile range thanks to the car’s powerful brakes and quick steering. Reviewers praise Tesla’s excellent handling, especially when it comes with an adjustable air suspension.

The Japanese car manufacturer Nissan have been producing cars since 1914. Winners of many awards, Nissan’s quest is to produce innovative and reliable high performing vehicles. The Nissan range offers a choice of city cars, crossovers, electric cars, 4X4 vehicles and more.Nissan’s city cars are the Micra, Note and Pulsar models. These cars are small and compact and designed to negotiate the narrow streets, heavy traffic and parking associated with city centres. They’re very economical too but you could go one better and consider an electric car. The Leaf is 100% electric, using rechargeable lithium-ion batteries, it still provides the power and speed of a petrol or diesel car and has a range of upto 124 miles, but without the fuel costs and environmental impact. If you need a car for urban driving but also want something a little roomier, then a crossover may be a better option.Sometimes referred to as SUV’s (sports utility vehicles) Nissan offer the Juke, Qashqai and X-trail. These models are typically designed for urban driving but with the feel and drive position of a 4X4 vehicle. These cars are packed with technology and safety features to enhance the driving experience. The Navara is Nissan’s four-wheel-drive offering, it’s a low suspension pick-up truck. Alternatively you may fancy a high performance vehicle such as the 370z, the first of Nissan’s bespoke sports cars ever to be made and still produced now, or the ultra-modern supercar the GT-R.You can find lots more information at Nissan’s website, www.nissan.co.uk here you can see the current models and specifications.

Everyday Car Care

Even the most advanced vehicles will not last forever. While our technology has become more advanced in recent times, the overall longevity of your car is directly associated with how you care for it. Although there are some cases which will require the help of a mechanic, there are other tricks and tips that can be accomplished within the comfort of your garage. What are some everyday tasks that will keep a vehicle in tip-top shape?

Changing Spark Plugs

The sparks that these plugs produce are directly related to the combustion of petrol within your vehicle. Over time, spark plugs can cease functioning. If one or more no longer “fires”, you will be wasting valuable petrol and the engine itself can become damaged. Replacing these plugs is therefore critical to help maintain the health of your car.

Oil Maintenance

Oil helps to lubricate internal mechanisms and to keep the engine running cool. Unfortunately, oil levels will drop over time. Not only can this cause additional wear and tear within the engine, but there is even a chance that the entire drive train will cease up. So, oil should be changed at regular intervals. Note that these time periods will depend upon the make, model and year of your car. After the oil is drained, the same viscosity should be added back into the reservoir. Finally, filters must always be replaced along with the oil (these can become clogged with dirt and debris).

Tyre Rotation

There are times when certain tyres can become more worn than others. This could be caused by a misalignment or incorrect driving methods. Such uneven wear can further jeopardise your alignment and cause your car to “pull” to one side or another. Rotating your tyres will help to prevent these conditions.These are all great car care tips which can normally be accomplished in a matter of hours or less.

Build a garage optimal for car maintenance

Designing a garage is a complicated endeavour. You need the right tools, the right space, and an awful lot of determination. Take a look at our top tips to help you make the right decisions.

Location

If your garage is for commercial use, there is no point in purchasing a building which is in an area saturated with competition. Try and find your own patch, a neighbourhood which is not already being served by too many other garages. Or, if you are a risk-taker, find an area where there is only one competitor – everyone likes the luxury of choice! If it is just for your own personal tinkering, make sure your space is a sturdy structure and fit for purpose.

Regulations

Doing your homework on the legal and health and safety legislation regarding building or running a garage is essential. For example, new detached domestic builds are limited to single storeys of 30 square metres, and any attached structure will need planning permission which come with associated fees. There are also rules regarding fire safety measures, materials used, and sanitary considerations if you want running water. A commercial garage will require regular inspections and could be shut down if it does not match up to industry standards. Basic health and safety is inexpensive and can stop future law suits or compensation claims, so keep everything up to scratch to save trouble in the long term.

Environment

Cars need the appropriate surroundings to enable you to work on them, as well as the usual good house-keeping. Make sure your garage is large enough for the quantity of cars you expect to have in at any one time, and keep the space uncluttered, clean and neat. Powerful lighting should be installed to allow for more intricate work, and to spot any obstacles when working or maneuvering cars.

Tools

High quality equipment is expensive, but you will get what you pay for. Invest in items that are well-reviewed, and consider ‘try before you buy’ deals to make sure you get the tools that are right for your needs. It is all very well having a multitude of spanners, but first things first – how will you get the car into the garage and out again? Driving them in will not always be an option; if the car is damaged or freshly painted/modified, it may need to be moved more carefully. Stringo machines are metal caddies which slide under and winch a vehicle up, before steering it into the desired location. Their range covers devices which can lift vehicles up to 5,000kg, and recommend different machines for different jobs, such as moving long or short distances. Stringo promise durable, efficient, personalised products with excellent customer support, and online reviews generally agree.

Genuine or Third-Party Replacement Parts for Your Nissan Infiniti?

Mrs. Kelly Gerlach DVM — Wed, 28 Jan 2015 14:21:56 +0000

There are many Nissan Infiniti owners who require replacement parts for their vehicle. This could arise from simple repairs while there are times when they wish to “trick” their cars out to provide an extra sense of visual appeal. Money is a concern and some of the parts can be quite expensive. This is one of the main reasons why there is a debate in regards to whether genuine (OEM) parts or third-party alternatives are the best solution. Let’s take a look at both sides of this coin.

Safety is a Concern

We should first keep in mind that certain parts are ONLY able to be used within an Infiniti. Examples can be commonly seen with safety mechanisms such as a master cylinder or emergency airbags. The main danger is that third-party components may not provide the same levels of dependability. Furthermore, any existing warranty will be voided if OEM parts are not installed by a qualified technician. While these may be slightly more expensive, the peace of mind that is guaranteed is well worth the price.

When and How to Choose a Third-Party Supplier

Third-party replacement parts are commonly seen in terms of lighting, accessories and interior items. Many of these will come shipped in “do-it-yourself” kits and their cost can be substantially lower. There are countless locations where such items can be found online. However, a word of warning should be mentioned here. Third-party items may not be guaranteed and it is essential that you are certain that they are designed for your Infiniti make and model. It is therefore recommended that you only use well-known Internet suppliers. They should boast robust levels of customer support and positive user ratings. Any other sites should be avoided entirely.Knowing when to use genuine parts as opposed to their generic alternatives is an important consideration for any Infiniti owner. If you are ever in doubt, call or contact the manufacturer for more details.
