All Activity

The Qashqai arrived last night around 6:30pm. Driver rang about half an hour before arrival, turned up right on time, handed over all the documents, and the car looks exactly like the photos. It’s booked in with my local garage tomorrow just to double-check everything, big thanks to everyone who shared their experiences it genuinely helped me make the decision.

I appreciate reading discussions of this type as they provide extensive and detailed feedback. It is reassuring to know that reputable companies are still offering repossessed vehicles in an ethical manner. Not everything online is a scam if you do a bit of homework.

Yes, still in place. You’ve got ten days from delivery to raise any concerns if you are unhappy they either resolve the issue or collect the car and refund you. It’s a decent safety net especially when buying without viewing first.

Do they still offer that 10 days inspection period? And do they actually explain how refunds work if something’s not right?

You should be fine. I bought a 2019 bimmer 3 series from Whelan Transport not long ago. Delivered straight to my door in Glasgow. Bit tricky unloading because of how tight my street is, but the driver was sound and took his time getting it sorted.

Alright, I’ve decided to go ahead. I made the payment and got a confirmation email straight away. They said delivery will be booked within the next 24 hours and they’ll confirm the date and time window shortly. Feeling nervous but cautiously optimistic!

I experienced the same feelings. I purchased a 2021 Peugeot 5008 GT Line from Whelan Transport and I felt a bit anxious initially but they were quite transparent about the entire process. I had mine checked, after three days gave them the green light, and that was that. Honestly, the process was much smoother than I expected

Yeah I get the reasoning, it just feels like a leap of faith sending that amount upfront for something I haven’t physically seen yet.

No card payments I’m afraid. We paid by bank transfer as they explained it’s for fraud prevention and that payments go into a segregated company account, not their normal operating account.

That sounds reassuring. How did you paid? I was hoping to use a credit card for the extra protection if possible.

I purchased a 2021 Seat Ateca for my wife through Whelan Transport, and it was delivered to my home in Sheffield in just over a week. They allowed me plenty of time to examine it thoroughly before completing the sale without any pressure or chasing. We had it inspected by a mechanic and was pleased so we proceeded to inform them that we were accepting the car.

I’ve been speaking with them today and they’ve already sent over a video walk-around of the car and a copy of the V5C. Everything looks clean but I’ll be honest buying a car without seeing it in person still makes me uneasy.

Hi, I haven’t bought a car from them, but we’ve used Whelan Transport through work for moving equipment from Leeds to Belfast. No issues at all solid communication and everything arrived when they said it would. Cheers

Morning everyone, just wanted to see if anyone here has come across a company called Whelan Transport before as I’ve spotted a Nissan Qashqai they had for sale on Facebook Marketplace. Does anyone know or have heard of them before? Are they real?

I utilise a 2-foot long spike to incapacitate them. Regarding cleaning, one may consider pumping a substance into the rear section of the exhaust. If your vehicle is equipped with two oxygen sensors, it will possess a catalytic converter; if it has only one sensor, it will not.

Is the passive cat easily removable and cleanable?

😶‍🌫️

In 2014, a transition occurred in the diesel particulate filter (DPF) and catalytic converter (cat) systems. Vehicles manufactured prior to this year were equipped with a catalytic converter preceding the DPF, whereas post-2014 models feature a catalytic converter followed by a DPF, with a passive catalytic converter integrated midway through the exhaust system. In all instances of DPF removal, I have had to eliminate the passive catalytic converter, as the absence of the DPF leads to soot accumulation that obstructs it over time.

I am considering that if I replace the glow plug controller, I should also replace the glow plug loom.

If you encounter difficulties, submit it to me, and I will resolve the issue. It requires a systematic approach, including smoke testing and diagnostics, and having expertise is advantageous.

Upon initially replacing the glow plugs, the code 4952 indicated a smooth working controller for cylinder 4, with 4A44/4A64 activating cylinders 1 and 3. Replaced all four once more, resulting in a 4A64 cylinder. One activation 4A54 cylinder Two activations Activation of cylinder 3 in 4A44 E373 no message (RLS wiper speed), receiver integrated automatic heating/air conditioning system/IHKS/IHS, Transmission JBE; what should be attempted next? I performed a DPF cleaning despite having a DPF deletion last year.

Extremely ambiguous; it is essential to obtain fault codes and any live data to ascertain the underlying issues. Occasionally, a turbo malfunction, DPF complication, or EGR valve failure may mimic limp mode, while the actual problem could be insufficient boost. Furthermore, engines with over 80,000 miles may experience timing chain elongation, leading to a flat performance that resembles limp mode, often without generating fault codes, complicating diagnosis. Gearbox malfunctions may resemble limp mode if it becomes jammed in third gear, as a self-protective measure. This defect can be challenging to diagnose. Glow plugs do not activate limp mode; however, a blocked DPF will trigger it, as regeneration is impossible without functional glow plugs. It is typical for the glow plug controller to fail.

I have replaced the glow plugs twice and performed a DPF cleaning. However, it remains in limp mode.

Hello everyone, I previously discussed limp mode here some time back. A small mechanic inspected the car but was unable to identify any issues and expressed confusion. Instructed me to remove the interior fuse box, as moisture occasionally infiltrates and induces erratic malfunctions. I examined all fuses and relays, stored it in a warm location for a week, and subsequently replaced it. The fault code for glow plug number four was detected, prompting the replacement of all four glow plugs. Currently indicating the activation of glow plugs 1, 2, and 3. I will replace the glow plug harness and the glow plug control module. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

The configuration is consistent across most BMW models currently, making the task exceedingly difficult because to the large shaft and the multipoint pinion nut. I received a quotation for £350. I believe it pertained to my previous F11 few years ago.
