I had better give the poor old thing a wash! :naughty

No need we are off the beaten track and you can look at the 4 horses we have in the fields next to us, not ours though, regard your time clock reset problem it will only do this if the battery is disconnected, so you certainly have a connection problem as to its location, battery terminals are a start but there are many other places that it can occur, Rick

Ok cool, well I will check the connections then take it from there.. Thinking about it we did change the battery last winter so it could be that. Will update with my findings!.... If I find any! :lol

Do you ever get a static shock off the car when you touch it?

A bad connection on the battery will not give you a static electricity shock.

When I get one, it tends to be related to what I am wearing. Any man made fabrics on man made seats will create static.

Always worse on warm dry days.
The car moving through dry air, and tyres on dry roads can build up a static charge of a few thousand volts.

There are several solutions, conductive straps or chains that touch the road, or I have heard of people using pencil ( Graphite) and draw lines on the inside of the tyre from the rim to the tread in several places....###

Now this will open a few more discussions..:doh


Kath, certainly from reading the post, I would go for the battery terminals, clean up both the battery pillars and the battery connectors.

Be aware you will loose your radio so you will need the code, the NATS ( Nissan Anti Theft System ) tends to reset ok after battery re-connection, and the ECU ( Electronic Control Unit ) will re-learn the settings after a good run.

A cheap fix, especially if the terminals weren't cleaned up on battery replacement last year.

Good luck,
Rustic

I once had a shock problem with a works van everytime I went to get in so I took it to the stealer, as it was leased, and the shock problem was solved. They said it had a bad earth point. I wasn't so sure at the time. However my Vauxhall Zafira recently developed the same problem so I cleaned up 2 main ground points on the car and the problem has disappeared. Coincidence?
