Have they changed the battery and checked the connections? Sounds like a voltage issue to me, unless they have introduced a fault trying to fix the sender.

The senders in the fuel tank may be dirty, you can clean these with contact cleaner, sometimes comes good. There is a float sender in both sides of the tank to measure fuel level which then goes to the BCM I think.

i don't think there is a issue with battery , as one of the 370gt importer pulg a computer from other 370gt to my car , it does work again, so pretty sure is a computer issue.?

thanks for advise.

do you know where i can get a cleaner to clean it?

Metho, ethanol or contact cleaner will work, you should have no trouble finding contact cleaner an any auto parts store. Make sure you get replacement tank Orings from Nissan.

What computer did he replace, the engine ecu or the body control module?

I don't know if this will be helpful at all or not but when I was mucking around with my system I found that if you remove the 4-wire ribbon which runs into the actual touch screen overlay you will lose all of the system controls. I have no idea why the touch screen controller is directly connected to the rest of the systems but I found that the AC/Radio/steering wheel controls etc would all stop working with this 4-wire ribbon disconnected.

I would be pulling the entire facia apart and checking all of the connections because it seems that the systems are all interconnected. It may just be that they mucked around behind the stereo and something is now loose. It's pretty easy to pull apart and put back together.

My understanding of it was the thing would randomly reboot.

Screen output sits on the UART lines via a controller. Never delved too deeply into it though.

      Did tie rods. Steering now not "springing" back.

      Yep, there's a very minor drift left that happens a few seconds after letting go of the steering wheel, but not enough to bother me. Enjoying the car still!

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      Sounds good.  I don't 100% understand what your getting at here. When you say, "I keep seeing YouTube videos where people have new paint and primer land on the old clearcoat that isn't even dulled down" do you mean this - there is a panel with factory paint, without any prep work, they paint the entire panel with primer, then colour then clear?  If that's what you mean, sure it will "stick" for a year, 2 years, maybe 3 years? Who knows. But at some stage it will flake off and when it does it's going to come off in huge chunks and look horrific.  Of course read your technical data sheet for your paint, but generally speaking, you can apply primer to a scuffed/prepped clear coat. Generally speaking, I wouldn't do this. I would scuff/prep the clear and then lay colour then clear. Adding the primer to these steps just adds cost and time. It will stick to the clear coat provided it has been appropriately scuffed/prepped first.  When you say, "but the new paint is landing on the old clearcoat" I am imagining someone not masking up the car and just letting overspray go wherever it wants. Surely this isn't what you mean?  So I'll assume the following scenario - there is a small scratch. The person manages to somehow fill the scratch and now has a perfectly flat surface. They then spray colour and clear over this small masked off section of the car. Is this what you mean? If this is the case, yes the new paint will eventually flake off in X number of years time.  The easy solution is to scuff/prep all of the paint that hasn't been masked off in the repair area then lay the paint.  So you want to prep the surface, lay primer, then lay filler, then lay primer, then colour, then clear?  Life seems so much simpler if you prep, fill, primer, colour then clear.  There are very few reasons to go to bare metal. Chasing rust is a good example of why you'd go to bare metal.  A simple dent, there is no way in hell I'm going to bare metal for that repair. I've got enough on my plate without creating extra work for myself lol.
